Agreed with others on buttoning up the front, and front/rear belly pans. haven't seen what it looks like under the boot area, but if like other hondas i've seen, its a parachute. still not as big as mine.

With your CL lowered, i assume you've also made a roll bar change, and aligned everything properly. How is your chamber?
There is quite a bit that can be done to the underside, especially the rear, its got a huge parachute!

The car was lowered by the PO, no clue as to whether the stabilizer bar has been changed, or what alignment adjustments (if any) have been made, though it has some serious negative camber. Tax season will net me a camber adjustment kit (if needed) along with some LRRs.

I've been hoping to stumble across some light 15in wheels since there are a lot more options at a better price point. I don't believe 14's will clear due to the disc brakes.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Still looking for a decent front airdam design template if anyone comes across one!

Attach Al bar at one wheel well, bend, bend, bend, attach at other wheel well. Remove, drill holes every 10". Drill holes in lawn edging. Zip tie together. Attach to bumper. I used body screws on the ends and zip ties on the rest.
