Yup, those are the ones. I have yet to see a set that has been fitted in the US. But there have been a few people that have purchased then with intentions to install. Initial fitment seemed pretty good. A lot better than I expected.

A friend of mine wrecked his Honda that had this front air dam on it...
It was broken up pretty good I got it for $20, and used it as a base for the one I have now. It took alot of spray foam and fiberglass, but most of all trying to learn how to do it right
!!!
I cut Out the stock aluminum front bumper and welded in a tube frame front bumper to make it fit right..

OH man this is retarded!! I dug through a bunch of junk. I think I found the disks with my bodywork pis on them but my new laptop doesnt have a floppydrive..
Do you guys know what tire size a FD runs???
I think they run 255/16 but I dont know for sure.....
I would like to modify my fenders and suspension so that I could run somthing around that size...

225/16 is correct. and there only 15lbs!
or 15. something, depending on if they were early 93 or later. they were made stronger wich added a little weight. nothing major though.
i have them on my FC. (i have two sets, gun metal and polished)

Well I still cant find all my bodywork pictures so I'll try to show you how I did it with my fender flairs...
1. first lay a bunch of spray foam...
[attachment=43607:Picture_036.jpg]
2. Then you file and sand, to shape the foam as you want...
3. cover the foam with duct tape

4. Then lay the fiberglass!!

I did the same thing to modify the air damn to fit my FB
