oh yeah by the way most people here at H-T are not a big fan of bodykits, i'm sure you know that by now. but you have a hybrid so its all good. i've only seen fast and the fast once and it just makes me smile...poor hondas.

ok why not just leave your OEM kit and just add a type R lip, yeah thats it do a CTR convertion. or maybe check out the cwest bumper.

Good job on SWAP ..............

However get rid of Bodykit (My Eyes )

I dislike when paintjobs are half-a$$ed & looks terrible (Red & Baby Blue), it looks exactly what you tried to do.

....... For the love of god get some wheels, at least if youre going to be running a kit.

okay here goes..........i think your car looks like shiet!

ugly color
ugly wing
ugly body kit (and oh all ricers have thos stupid bumpers even before the movie cam out so no excuses there)
hood pins on a stock hood = rice
stickers on the side to display how proud you are of your weapon r coilovers and intake

swap is good but why did you cut the valve cover for the cams if your cams arent even adjustable?

oh yeah your engine bay is ugly and dirty as hell too

Riding on stock steelies and painting them black (unless your going to the track or something

ahahah for some reason your look resembles that of your ride..BWAHAHHAHAH <--- dont take offense man.....just a joke

Whoa buddy ......

[Lingo_Dictionary] Let me catch onto your lingo here [/Lingo_Dictionary]

Just put the car back into prespective, that's all ...... We do not mean to **** you off or offend you in any way ....... Your car just needs some love that's all.

But on the same note don't copy what every allready has, be original. It's just that your car looks like it has no <<< direction >>>.

It appears to be incomplete/half-done. As I mentioned before I'm not a big fan of half painted cars, they look tacky.

no dude, thats the problem.
its NOT DIFFRENT.
i see **** like that every day. ugly wings, horrible paint, nasty bodykits, etc. The only reason most of us like "JDM" is becuse its clean.

there are more people who put body kits on their car than go for a clean look.

no
clean means clean. not JDM. jdm is rota wheels (or spoon wheels if you can afford them, they are real jdm), spoon stuff, overpaying for parts just because they have a special name on them *cough* spoon mugen *cough*

a clean car is a car with a good drop, nice wheels and nothing else on the outside. all the money goes under the hood.
