Just wondering does anyone manufacture carbon fiber lips for our cars? Kinda like the one in this pic?
I wanted to replace all the plastic trim (plastic side skirts, front nd rear lips) that came stock on my 89 crx si with carbon fiber.

what about taking out the trim and covering it with the carbon fiber film? anybody ever tried that with anything? any experience in it? im guessing it wouldn't be that hard if you thought about it....

not that i've ever seen its a bummer maybe if your good at body stuff get one for an EG or DC2 and cut it? Don't know what to cut CF with though. It would be great if you can find one.

Carbon fiber film?! You mean the fake carbon fiber looking stickers? UGH.. Please don't use that shit on anything. Thats more ghetto that painting your interior vents with a paint brush.
As far as a front lip goes, there aren't any and I doubt if there ever will be. We kinda got fucked in that the 88-89 and 90-91 bumpers are a different shape, so its not like a company could just make one for 4th gen Civics and 2nd gen CRXs, because stupid Honda fucked us over. :banghead:

damn that sucks, so im guessing it would be really expensive for someone to custom make me some carbon fiber parts then? i wanted it to look pretty much, i just wanted to replace the stock door caps and side skirts and other trim with carbon fiber pieces. maybe one day when i win the lotery huh.

Lip kits for the Ef civic/crx do exist, both in carbon fiber and fiberglass. The problem is, they don't exist in this country. Find any jdm HyperRev magazine with Ef's in it, and you'll see what I mean.
I plan on starting to make carbon fiber pieces, as soon as I can get up enough money to buy the equipment to do so. The OEM style cf lip was going to be one of my larger and more involved projects. I will definitely let everyone in this board know when I manage to accomplish this...Definitely wont be for a quite a while.

there was never a CF lip for the CRX only urethane/fiberglass ones

Not true...
Get a Civic/Crx HyperRev mag....its right there. In the volume I have, its not there, but I have seen them...Again, JAPAN ONLY. I know this, because I was looking to buy one about 8 months ago. I believe the company is Hiro. Check it out.

i have both of the hyper rev books for the CRX and there is rumor of a 3rd one coming out....like i said, there are no products for the CRX in the carbon fiber lip form.....the 2 lip companies in the newest one are backyard special and J's racing (there might be 1 more) and neither of those are CF
