so i got this 97 dx hatch right... and i dunno what to do with it? cop jdm bumpers and make it look like a SiR? or CTR lips n spoiler n make it look like a 96-98 CTR? oor 00' front n lips n spoiler n make it look like a 00' CTR? i like the 96-8 SiR look wit da bumper moldings, but SiR interior ( other than the sweet all amber guage cluster) looks way old compared to even the 96-8 CTR interior, and definatly looks alot older compared to the cleanliness of the 00' climate control bezel wit da ***** instead of the slides... what to do? 97 SiR? 97 CTR? 00 CTR?

Just do a simple lip kit of your choice, preferably paint matched and then save the rest of the money on a turbo and make it a sleeper.

You presented a lot of options and it seems as though you dont really know what you want to do yet. Make it clean!

Sometimes it would just be cheaper to buy a car that already looks how you want it. I have seen to many cars hacked up with pieces not aligning up properly that it just wants to make me cry. I swear i live in rice heaven....

just clean it up and give it a good stance. seems too many people like taking these away, so dont make it too attractive to them. maybe spend your money on making at a more involving and safer drive would be a better idea.

failing that... this

i dont care if that hatch was in hondatuning, its friggen ugly imo and i would never eff wit anyy bodykit, and i dont wanna jus put whatever lip, i wanna go wit one of da 3 looks dat i named, 97 SiR 97 CTR 00 CTR, or i guess i could do a US EM1 front? iunno...

who cares if your car is an exact replica of a ctr or sir or whatever.... find the pieces you like, make the ext. look good/simple ad use your money for more useful things like suspension, tires, engine stuff

The hatches are the lightest...put a giant wing on and see if you can get airborn. Like, seriously. I want to see this done someday.

i mean, i care lol dats what i wana do, make it look like one of those three, not jus piece it together with random jdm parts, i think i might go 97 CTR tho... everyone would rather have the 00 front obviously but iunno,think itd be different... i wanna get the ext looking like what i want to before motor and ****... i put brand new springs n struts on it a few months ago, but i dont like the springs dey not low enough, so after i do the ext. ima jus get some eibach groundcontrol coilovers, cheap easy does the trick... motor-wise im still unsure what i wanna do... its obd2 so im wondering should i cop a obd1 b16 and swap the dizzy n ecu for obd2, or jus spend an extra like 700 bucks for an obd2 b16... etc and then again, a gsr is like 400 extra bucks than a b16 so iunno..... best bang for the buck people!? ( other than h22, i wanna turn my wheels...)

It is threads like this one that remind me why I left '92-'00 for GDD forever.

You can do a 99-00 front end cx,dx,lx,ex etc it doesnt have to be em1 the only diff is the grill which you can buy seperate.
As for ctr or sir go sir looks cleaner/simpler. As for the interior go with ctr for the front half and ek4 rears.
Ek4 rears ftmfw super sexy.
Sometimes you gotta mix and match. Theres no single right answer. If you find the single and only right answer.... Do it

ninty7civic

see dat dont make sense to me, u sayin if u had a authentic 00 ctr, you would put 97 SiR rear's in it??? prolly not... lol

ninty7civic
