What kind of exhaust do you have? My front end doesn't seen low because of hfp front "skirts", its not a full lip. Id like to see a company start making lip kits for 2012 coupe's. My under body and exhaust are pretty roughed up because the car sits low as it is. Im planning to run 16" snow tires for this winter. With minor adjustment, ill make it work.
 
I have should some nice pictures up soon! Just went to the Annual 8thgen cruise/bbq .... cruising with the old generation

SgtMecca what are you planning on doing for your snow tires? I'm going with 16" as well but I'm not sure if I'm just going to buy a set of Honda steel rims or get a set of cheap Aluminum wheels to put the X-ice on. I can't decide.
 
basically what i did was since the new si for the exhaust has a different gasket than the 8th i had to just chop the end of piping from stock and weld to end of the greddy piping. Plus one problem that cam up was that the piping was too short, just referring to length wise and thats with the sedan spacer on it. But i still have the cat and all i cut basically at the end of piping. I adjusted tacked welded and it sounds nice. No leaks runs fine , the only thing is i scrape lol but thats occasionally cause im really low especially in nyc.

from the description:
We want all consumers to know that there will always be minor sanding, shaving, cutting, and/or filling prior to installing Extreme Dimensions parts. Also, the black primer finish must be sanded and other prep work will be required prior to painting.

- being that it's partially fiberglass, and requires all of the prep work to fit...plus paint... you're better off buying the hfp kit from collegehillshonda. No prep, it's painted from the factory with honda paint...and potentially cheaper than that kit after it's all said and done.

What did you use to hold your license plate?

I used the regular oem bracket flipped 'up-side down'. I had to do some plastic trimming with an exacto knife to get it to fit in the corner. Then for the mounting holes, i used one of the existing ones from the driver side and zip tied the other corner to the bumper when i had my bumper removed.

If you see it in person its much simpler to explain
 
IT looks sweet man i cant wait to drop mine :( but im going to wait untill spring because im very picky when it comes to wheels i might do black 18's with a red ring inside like the drag wheels then do the drop but debating on springs or dampers ??? hard to choose:( hold on ill look for the pic of the wheels.
