Liberal Fenders & Zero/Sports Grille, Lip and Strakes
Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2008 10:25 pmAfter my accident, I thought a bit of a makeover was in order because I now have the opportunity. First up, I wanted the lower front lip from Zero/Sports because I found the STi one a bit flat (although it did look decent painted). However because the curve of the Zero/Sports lip makes it look like a frown, a lot of people didn't like it. Haha. That's alright, I think it looks different. And to compliment it, I got the Zero/Sports mesh grille and side strakes (yahay! I look like Clarence now!). Yeah yeah, call me a ZeroSport whore.
Unfortunately I didn't like the lip with the Spec B front bar, so I swapped over to the NA/GT front for a bit more aggressive appearance. An added bonus with the wider front opening is that I am now able to fit LED foglights in the centre (and tinted the original fogs). The factory fogs bothered me to no end because they were wider than the headlights, but I couldn't do anything due to the smaller Spec B opening.
And lastly, I thought it was a good idea at the time to go after the vented front fenders that Liberal has for their cars. And god bless him, Phat did a lot of investigation, found the company that customised that for Liberal, and convinced them to make a set for me. And after weeks of anticipation, they arrived. I got them painted and installed and ... well, they look a bit awkward. That look is good on a light coloured car, but on a dark car it interrupts the flow of things. Hopefully with a bit of time it will grow on me.
Overall appearance is now less classy but a bit more aggro. Now if you'll excuse me while I bombard you with some pictures.

But I have a phobia in which I'm against driving a dirty car.
