    DC5R Mugen Inspired facelift

    Hi Guys,

    I have been in the honda scene since forever coming from a family that are into cars including my uncles,brothers,dad its in the blood!

    Now i'll start with some of the cars i use to own before i start my build

    My first ever car was an EK4 i got this on my Ls built it from ground up starting with a full respray cw including engine bay.

    The modding started buddy club n+ spec coils,asr brace,beaks bar,function 7,obx twinloop, genuine cpr wheels. LOL yes me and my brother used blocks of wood as support jacks.










    Kept this car for a few years then i sold it to my cousin, After i sold it i purchased an eg fitted with a b20b.







    A year or so later i sold the eg and bought another ek but it was only a gli, also resprayed cw from green..
    All work from these cars are done by me and my brother. Fitted a b18C2 with genuine bbs rs painted in house of kolor candy red some of use mightve seen it around before











    Then i sold it and got a levin then prelude.. from a prelude to an mr2.

    Now i own a DC5R and i love it!

    purchased it from melb then drove it all the way back to sydney




    Purchased rega masters from gopov bloke in qld mint condition never fitted after refurbished so i was really happy!
    fitted injen cai, cabring tie-bar, Bc coils.



    Then i saw these dunlop direzzza 03gs for cheap so why not lol



    Now it sits like this..



    Then something really special came at the depot.. but what was it?




    Jdm 05-07 rear bar, mugen side skirts, mugen front lip, Too excited



    Fitment was pretty spot on too!



    Received this in the mail today thanks to jdmconcept.com.au

    My front lip was badly damaged paint was chipping off and cracks every where coming from a family of panel beaters and mechanics i decided to repair it myself.

    Using the equipment below and spray paint in a can i went ahead.

    *Paint stripper - to remove the old paint next time i'll use aircraft paint stripper which is more stronger.

    *Putty - to patch up imperfections

    *Wax & Grease - to remove oil from finger tips dirt and grime before painting

    *Primer filler - to fill in imperfections and used as a base coat for the final colors to be laid on top

    *ABP paint code B507P - i got two cans just in case but only 1 was needed for the lip i did 3 coats (purchased from autobarn) at $25 a can rrp $29.95 from memory

    *Spot putty - this is a thick putty to fill in air holes cracks and imperfections.



    So i paint stripped it !



    Then i primed it 2-3 coats depending on imperfections



    Then i laid down the first coat of ABP




    I laid down the clear.. but because i was painting in the wind lol.. orange peel appeared from too much clear coat.

    Next i'll be sanding the clear down to apply another layer of clear to finish it off with cut and quick polish *fingers crossed it will look smooth*

      Progress looks good man. Taking upgrades step by step is the way to go.

            He got it from a member on here. He bought it from the guy on clubrsx. It is quite expensive to get it shipped here though. Just for the lip

              Yeap, Haus correct its around $500-600 for shipping if you were to get a bumper and side skirts. And for a lip its around $150+ so its best to do a group buy

                I swear I've pm'd that same guy about 30 times asking, and have never gotten a reply back. Or maybe it's a different vendor...

                All good, just flicked him another pm. Cheers!

                      Most of the time he wont respond to us Aussies, as he does not want to ship to us.

                      I also tried him.

                        Should look good when it's painted!

                        Your previous cars were nice too
