that looks really good. where did you get the lowering springs from? i have been looking for some, but cant find any! let me know please!

[Veilside Versa]

I was lucky found on ebay when it just came out from Tanabe. Only $125

Here is the seller name (sfx_performance), not sure they still have it, but u can try to ask them.

[idunno22221]

thats awesome thanks man. your car looks great!

[diego1212]

with what and how did you paint the grill? i like it

[Veilside Versa]

i went to autozone to buy the paint, and i just take out the grill and paint.so easy

[MiXMa5TaMaX]

did you apply a primer?cuz if you didn't, chances are the paint wont last long.

i painted mine a few weeks ago and it looks 100% better, I'm just waiting to find a trustworthy place to get the sideskirts painted cuz the black looks like crap.i used flatblack and it blended in great with the black on the rest of the grille.

[Bubs daddy]

Mine's already black. Hmmmm. Does the S come with a chrome grill and the SL's black?

[Veilside Versa]

i bought the primer, but just don't have to to do it..................

[Elmojo]

Mine's already black. Hmmmm. Does the S come with a chrome grill and the SL's black?

yeah, I was wondering the same thing! I guess the SLs are already black. Seems strange that the lower-end model would have the chrome grill.

Is it just me, or can you not tell that it's lowered? I swear it looks just like mine, except for the rims of course, which are sweet.

Hey VV, How do those Tanabe's ride? I was considering some as well, but I don't want to convert my smooth-riding V into an overweight pogo stick!

Finally, did you install them yourself, and if so, how complicated was it?

Elmojo

[Veilside Versa]

haha, i really installed by myself, and it was kind of hard to installed, cuz i usually installed civic... for my friends, it was easy.

Not sure how to explaine to you how complicated was it, but is better have the shop do it for you.

The Tanabe spring was great, almost like stock, but little bit harder.You will like it, felt a lot better compare to TEIN on my friend's XB.

[MiXMa5TaMaX]

well by "grille" I meant the grille trim... which came chrome

Where did you buy the window visors? I've been looking for those to install in the V. Thanks.

[Veilside Versa]

Ebay, still have it.!!

[Clipsed]

yo VV do you think we can meet up some time so I can check out ur V?

[Jemdawg]

What paint, in particular, did you use? I've been thinking of doing this for awhile, but never found any paint. I wonder if the paint would adhere to the rest of the plastic pieces in the car.

[obet_07304]

Ebay, still have it.!!

I think I saw that, was it easy to install? Thanks.

[9Blazin]

Luvin' ur ride man, hopefully my "fresh powder" will be hooked up soon!!!

[Clipsed]

paint will stick to just about any plastic if you know what you are doing and prep it well.

[Jemdawg]

I just want to be sure that I can get a few good hard coats on it so that it doesn't start to chip too bad.

[Nismo V]

Add a primer coat first for good paint adhesion then paint and seal.. done deal bro...

[Clipsed]

he does that and it will chip for sure, use adehesion promoter, but before you do that scuff it up a lil bit with an sos pad, lay down a couple coats of primer, then sand, then a couple coats of paint, color sand, then clear, sand it, and polish it. DONE!

[Jemdawg]

I figured that would be the process, it's the same process as painting a guitar. Sounds good.

[Mugatu]

looks real good like the rims and the height of the lowering
