Vertex 1/2 Lip Kit Installed
I've got to say the Vertex kit did fit like a glove. OJ Simpsons glove. Was a perfect fit but a very tight fit which i did not mind because it held better against the body with no movement. Although was a pain to install. But OHH SO WORTH IT!!!!
I made a front center bracket myself for extra support, and 2 rear brackets that bolt onto the 2 studs i believe hold the upper rear muffler shield up to the chassis. Only bad part was removing the rear muffler for installation of the screws that hold it up to the OE bumper in the exhaust port upper sections.
Pix are to come soon of the Whole Install.
A question i have is with the extra parachute section in the rear do you think it may add to the Z holding back a tad? Or should i make some type of aluminum covering so that air does not get sucked into the open sections?
Not the idea i want to do but, Ever see them civics with the aluminum cut out section in the rear bumper? (O O O) Does that even have an affect?
If it's unnoticeable or has no effect let me know. Im sorta new to Body Kits on my own car.
