imo it doesn't look right. there's to much space in the mouth of your front bumper. i'd say either get a bigger intercooler or less extravagent bumber. how bout some engine bay pics.

Although i like how plain looking stock civics look, they are like grains of sand in my home town. There is one behind me, in front of me, or beside me at all times. Not to mention about 50% of the owners being punk ricers whose mods consist of altezza's, large aluminum spoiler, and a half bolted on ebay muffler.

So i decided to get a body kit just to be different, hell i'm a korean living in Iowa, guess i didn't need it =/

For now, i'll enjoy driving around my stupid little hometown of 100k ppl knowing that with the weird mix of parts that i put on my car, it's pretty unique for a civic.

edit: by the way, it did snow the next day, i needed my bumper for some mad plowin y0!

The turbo is a garret t3/t4, 50 trim, .48 ar. You're right, it feels fast to me, but in reality it's pretty damn slow. I know what my car can and cannot do so all i can say is that i very very rarely street race, and just because i have a turbo doesn't mean i'll start now. Plus there's a track near my hometown (45 mins away) that i'm dying to get too! Anyway, thanks for the responses, all of them.

So you're saying air conditioning sucks and turbos aren't cool?
