nah.. but I wish I can get that kit. I can get a Japanese colleague of mine to order them, but... too expensive. not worth it.

if you have the old I30, you can simply rip out the stock front bumper and replace it with the kit.

this one is also much pretty that the Impul kit.

Not this again! I havn't seen this pic in almost a year :-) I wish I could get my wifes FBP Si to reflect like that. Cleaning a black car almost intimidates me, hehe. So after al this time tell me what your secret is?

That's too clean! Would you happen to remember how long it stayed clean?

A LOT of elbow grease. Honestly of all the wax I have used, the Meguairs 3 step cleans the best. The wax may not last as long as other, but the good news is you only have to do all 3 steps about twice a year. BUT if you want to it shine like that, you HAVE TO use all three steps. You know what though? that Civic is small enough where waxing it often isn't a problem.

Well with the exception of the hood and front bumper, I can still get the car clean like this. Ususally though, I have to wish about every other week to keep it clean... right now though it rains everyday so it's dirty as hell right now.
