I really like these! Yours would be much nicer with the wheels back to standard colour and the bonnet bra removed ASAP

Can never understand these car bra things? it's only protecting the front of the bonnet, so the bumper is getting the normal stone chips etc and will need respraying if you're that bothered about stone chips you put a bra on the bonnet.
Also, if you leave it on there too long the paint that it's exposed (especially red paint!) will fade slightly and when you do take the bra off you'll have a definite line between the two so you'll have to respray the bonnet anyway?

Your wrong had it on there for 2 months it comes off and gets cleaned on the underside.

No line or scratchs and the bra had raised tops and works.

Silver wheels do look good but not for me

Each to their own but I couldnt drive around with one on. Would prefer to get some protective film or similar.

When I had my FN2 I used to go on http://www.civictype-r.co.uk and they were friendly enough. EP3 section looks a little quiet tho.

Give me stone chips any day over the bonnet bra.
Not sure why you think a piece of felt or whatever it is, full of creases makes a car look better but as long as you like it that's all that matters

Type Rs are great looking cars but so many get ruined by trashy mods.

Very nice, I do miss mine. Does look loads better without the bra, never understood them either.

Lowered by 40mm? Should probably get this - http://www.tegiwaimports.com/tegiwa-...n-bracket-174/
Always recommended on these if you're dropping by 30mm or more to protect from unnecessary wear and damage to other components.
