This car never cease to stop being modded! (When I met you, I remember you were telling me that you'd want the coupe front-end; You do talk the talk and walk the walk. :thumbsup:)

Thank-you! When you're a single 17 year old male you really don't have anything better to spend your money on haha. I've wanted to do the coupe front end since I first got the car but I always wanted to do it the right way unlike most who just get the bumper and leave the hood gap. I debated for a really long time if I wanted to do the wings west w type lip but that thing is huge and I started to dislike it the more I saw it so im hoping I like the coupe conversion.

Understood very well, young man haha! Well, I'm married thirty$%^& yrs old, and still can't get my minds off from my car to this date as well lol. Not only about the style, but good call on your plan for getting the BR urethane lip, since the durability of the urethane will deal with your ride height (ground clearance) a lot easier than WW's.

If you're feeling OEM fogs, I have this kit on my car. Very happy with the quality. However, they don't provide all the clips they say they do so you have to make do in some cases. Not critical.

Thank-you for the link. I was actually looking at those. I think im going to do the inspire fogs. I found some lightly smoked ones that I think would look pretty good on my car. Jeez this is a long link

Just ordered my new lip and fog lights. I can't wait for them to get here even though I'm pretty nervous to cut into a new bumper. If someone could provide a DIY link for the inspire fogs that would be great because I couldn't find one?
Also painted the underside of the hood. It looks really great so far! I'll check on it before class tomorrow to make sure nothing happened to it. Here it is. Enjoy! Top of hood and the bumper will be painted tomorrow.

Went looking for a DIY on this explicitly. I couldn't find one. Hopefully someone knows of one!

It probably isn't too hard. I did the 01-03 civic fogs on my sedan bumper so I have a little bit of experience. If I can't find a DIY I'll just make one if mine turns out okay.

Iirc someone posted about a DIY on V6P, but I think they said the photo links were broken. There are several threads on this mod that show bits and pieces, but no definitive guide that I know of. That info might still help you though, take a look.

Otherwise, if you make a DIY on this mod that would be extremely helpful for others I’m sure.

Painted hood and bumper on Tuesday? I think. I got some dust in the clear coat (Pretty impossible to avoid) pretty happy with it. I wet sanded it this morning and going to do another coat of clear on it. I prefinished doors as my first job that's why I have a little bit of knowledge. I know it's the exact same process but pretty similar. I used 1500 grit with warm soapy water. Almost start out with a higher grit because you don't want to start out with aggressive grit and that be too much for what you're doing, you can always always slowly get more aggressive as you feel it necessary.
