any other suggestions or shops u know wud be helpful.

Oh, custom one... those are not original..
EG9 never come out with type R.

Personally don't like the design.. but hey, it's your car.

More designs, but american one. Do note that some are replicas(fakes), not originals.

If ori...
The Japanese Bomex EG9 kit more likely to be found in Malaysia. So far haven't seen other brands for the EG9.

If you can find this lip, this is the ultimate front bumper mod for your EG9.
Mugen EG9 lip.
This is original.. different from the fake ones, yes?

 

[Ashyie_Ferio]

not much difference between fake or ori right?
its just the way it looks rights?
or wud fake ones attract police attention?

 

[shiroitenshi]

Nope, but fakes won't fit so well, so have to send to bodyshop kawtim those loose parts, and for some owners, (like me) who don't like drilling holes into car body (ori use screws, clips and brackets. (fakes use rivets and drill holes into body.) No problem for now, but after a few years when you want to replace the bodykit, suddenly notice those holes for the rivets all rusted.

But as far as I know, there is no Mugen EG9 lip copies that look close to the original. Eg6, got.

Like I said, it's your car. The shops selling your bodykit come from one source only.. so if recommend other place also same, even the sample pictures are same lol.

 

[Ashyie_Ferio]

owh.. okay... better ori la?
btw, eg9 kits can fit in eg8 rite?
same structure right?

EG very kesian....not much choice for bodykits...and the mugen type just doesnt click with my taste but its a good investment. blardy thing not depreciating but price going up. should've gotten myself a front mugen lip n keep then a few years later sell off

EG8 and EG9 bumpers are the same...u can share all bodykits from the 4 door family with all other 4 door...2 door's fender, front bumber, bonnet and headlamps are different but some ppl have taken the 2door front bumper n fitter to the 4door variant. will fit but the curve not ngam.

also must remember...EGs had no type R...the R family only started with the EK9 so the red emblems didnt exist during the EG days...

any suggestion on the best looking bodykit?

 

[arturo]

i really cannot recommend la bro cos i think EGs were already perfectly sculpted. a little lowered already looks damn good. EG sleeper car la. look slow go fast hahah

 

[Ashyie_Ferio]

okay2...
my bodykit falling apart. so need to change.
someone said to convert to eg9. what do you think?

 

[arturo]

convert to EG9? hmmm...normally when ppl say that they mean engine/tranny n cockpit conversion...outside not much difference mah

what an EG9 has that the EG8 doesnt have...

spotlight(yellow more rare, white more common but taiwan depo brand can now get brand new- fitment i have no idea.)
rear spoiler
rear window wiper
and in some cases sunroof(i believe it was optional when the EGs were sold new back then)

 

[Ashyie_Ferio]

quite right. i look at both n see no diffference. haha.
thanks for ur time.
n oh yeah, where sell ori bodykits ?
hahahaa

 

[shiroitenshi]

Forget japanese sites......... the price of the bodykit is one thing, the S&H will positively kill you. You can shop around at shops to see if they got, I got a complete bomex bodykit (sorry, personal collection, not selling) that way.. just trawl shops until find front bumber, then another few months sideskirts, then another year rear bumper lol....

An idea would be having shipping costs numbering in the 4 digit region.

If you want bodykit, it's either american (the site I gave you earlier) or the local ones.

But if you think bodykits for honda is rare, EG8/9 sits at the top of the list, esp when talking about original ones.

my body kit are hanging from my car body.
