Re: custom civic grill
Except for the fact that your interior doesn't flow at all. Would look better if the seats were darker. Rims look good but they're 2" too big. Custom grille and lambo door ftl.

Re: custom civic grill
grill is ight not my cup of tea but if ur a body man why didnt you just heat up the emblem to make it flexable slap some glue on the back and glue it to the grill

Re: custom civic grill
I know a guy who put the Civic emblem in his grille, but he did it off-center, like the 99-00 Civic Si has the "Si" emblem. Looks better that way.
(outer "ring" is beige, paint matched to his car)

Re: custom civic grill
I run 18's on my 99si. What is so wrong with that? After all; if you have any decent kind of brake kit, you can't go below 17's anyway. So the argument that it is "ricey" doesn't fly for me. It's functional. More racer then those ugly looking 15's that everyone says are so "JDM". I know I'm walking into a sh*tstorm of flamers and haters here but it is HIS car and HIS creativity. Even though he asked for our opinion; didn't your mothers ever tell you,
"If you can't anything nice, then don't say anything at all".
Now, that being said, the lambos. Those are straight out of the "Uncle Bens" box. As for the grill; just park the car in the garage at night and you'll be o.k. Good job with that BTW.

Re: custom civic grill
i wholeheartedly disagree. do you understand the power that needs to be made to need a brake kit? my cousin has 2000 Si with 16" rotas with a brembo BBK, are you saying its an inferior kit? with the right offset, almost anything can be accomplished. in most cases, bigger means heavier which means more drag, whats so racer about that?

Re: custom civic grill
I like the seats but I dont like leather. Dont put things on the car just because "you got a deal" or "had it laying around" then it just looks like you threw stuff together just because you had it. Pay attention to details and it will look much better. Even if youre not serious about it, putting it up on a site where people obsess over everything is going to get you some bad feedback.
The wheels are just big for a small car and dont really match. But it could be a lot worse.

Re: custom civic grill
My brake kit is a Brembo slotted and drilled with 13 inch rotors and dual piston caliper. Main upgrade; among others, being the caliper. More clamping force. More stopping force. I only make 325whp and find it nice to be able to stop in a hurry if need be. It's also LIGHTER than my stock brakes. Lighter, stronger, more wear resistant materials make it "so racer". So no bigger is not always "heavier" and doesn't always have "more drag".

Re: custom civic grill
Oh nothing is wrong with them! I had a ef hatch with ls meshes, and I loved it. I just don't see why there are so many that flame on the bigger sizes of wheels. That's all.

Re: custom civic grill
stock height is another giveaway that it is ricey.
and then there is the fact that you match the ricey-ness with your personality. you care what others think about you and you wnat to draw attention hence why you created this post to see if others like your idea.
i get it.. you want to work on your car so you think the little things (civic emblem) is worth working on to justify your time.

Re: custom civic grill
ppl loves big wheels but not on a civic plz biggest i would recommend on a civic is 17 but 18s on it is a bit too heavy, unless ur rollin with VIP style cars then u do 18-20 staggered** but 18s on a civic is considered dangerous from my opinion plus the car is higher than normal 17 u can a abit tuck it but 18 iono but yea i really dont recommend monster truckin on that year unless your have a FD FG chassis then thats a different story since they comes with 17s and still looks small
