wait you had to cut the ends off the old/OEM sides or the replica sides?
hmm i dont like the sound of that if you do..
also when you open the door can you see straight through to the ground or is it all sealed up?

can you take pics of the ends,door jamb openining when your done and get a chance..thanks.

I had to test fit, these obviously are far from done but give you an idea. How nice you want it to look, up to you, i'm going to try to make it oem and unnoticeable.....probably.

So, yeah, no where near done but here you go.

I'm downgrading this from a teaser thread to a progress thread because i keep getting questions, etc.

Anyway, rear is done, almost ready to paint:

Front, it's going to be tougher than i thought. I'm going to have to cut .5 in off each side, or 1 in in the middle, trying to figure that out.

I also had to add back some material on the top of the lip which i expected.

Someone was selling on ebay. I didn't actually buy off ebay though. It was this seller though..... http://stores.ebay.com/importautovilla_Honda_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ20364696QQftidZ2QQtZkm

The rear is done outside of minor work. I used fiberglass. That's why i was never interested in a true OEM kit, you can't do things like this right. The rear technically fit before i messed with it but i hated the look of the stupid fake lip body line they have on 02 bumpers being parallel to the top of the lip. It was too low for me too. Now it fits like it would on a 98-00.
