Front Lip...Ordered one today (99 - 00 Civic)

Looks great, from experience, no one looks as closely as the guy who made it ;)

I really like how it all comes together!

Thanks a lot!

Once I got prepped to clear coat the lip, I decided to do the whole bumper as it had a lot of dings and chips, so I set to it with bondo, spot putty and a lot of sanding. It turned out reasonably well, but I have to do some blending as the paint just slightly lighter than the factory even though it's color matched.

The SprayMax 2K clear is really amazing stuff. Such a deep gloss. It will be considerably glossier after it's cured and I wet sand and polish. I popped in a pic at the end of my tailgate. I was never quite happy with how dull it was with the standard spray can clear coat. This is only with two coats of clear.

Paint without clearcoat:

Liftgate. I still have to do the bumper with clear. I cut a major corner here and applied adhesion promoter over the badges too. They may peel. Either way, I've been pricing gear to set up a paint booth/compressor, paint gun etc. I am really leaning toward a full repaint of this car.
