      If an EVO style bodykit is produced, i definitely want one. I just want to see a picture of what it will look like first, that's all, but it will have to look better than the few options we have now.
      current mods:

      bodykit with custom green paint
      55" Matrix GR Motorsports two element wing
      clear corner lens
      17" Enkei RS6 wheels with 205/40R17 rubber
      Ground Control coilover kit
      KYB GR-2 struts
      LED undercar kit
      Tenzo Racing seats
      Pioneer Premier DEH-860MP head unit
      2 Cadence 12" subs
      Cadence 1000 watt amp
      Lightning Audio 1.0 farad capacitor
      Pioneer Premier front and rear speakers

      future mods:

      engine swap
      custom interior
      upgraded sound system

          I like this style here (especially if it could incorporate the grill like the Sivic one)

          Also, it may also make more sense to, instead of having a bumper made, to have a lip made. A lip is more affordable to most, cheaper to ship, cheaper to paint, etc. Plus, there is NO lip available for the stock USDM bumper.
          A lip like this would be ideal:

            a lip for our stock bumper? doesn't seem like you could do much with our stock bumpers.. pluse if you do a lip for the jspec then everyone who wants it has to first buy the jspec bumper...

              One could be done for the stock bumper...just take a look at the MX3 GS (V6) lip...thats very simple yet dramatically changes the look of the front bumper...
              Ive already test fitted a 99-00 Civic lip on the USDM bumper and it is VERY close in fit (in fact, it fits EXTREMELY well on the JDM bumper)
              Its just a thought. A lip or a bumper wqould be cool, but, realistically, youll have trouble getting people to ACTUALLY commit to something that ISNT cheap (ie, more than $150USD)...
              Thats why the grill GB is working so well...its a nice change at a reasonable price.
              The shop would sell MORE lips than bumpers, I can almost guarantee it.

                    The evo idea is interesting, I would like to see the result thought... If they can make a kit that look like this one for the 99-00 protege, i will be fine for me.

                      if you want a lip best thing to do is have one from another car custom attatched to our lip.... what does russian have? i haven't seen any pics of a lip for his car....

                      and that evo front end looks like one of the ones they will make for our car.

                          gen2 front bumper...

                          if the 95-98 protege's ever needed a bumper it would the skyline r-33 style bumper. this think looks clean and it would really go well with the protege's lines.

                            Not a fan of the EVO kit. If there could be one without the lights I'd be more likely to consider it but I think those big lights look horrible.

                                I like it more then other ones so far. Those foglights are ugly at EVO kit.
