i seen a few posts on here bout makin ur own type R grille, so me and my friend ( xfrankx ) got bored today so we figured we'd give it a shot. ive read how it was real easy to make.. welp, it def didnt go that way. took bout 6 hrs. didnt take my bumper off to get the grille off, took the rad out, was alot easier that way.

Well actually, that depends on what you are looking for first. I'd lower it first myself, but if he want's a couple of ponies and a nice tune, then go the exhaust route.

 

Wheres the tech? This really belongs in appearance.

I cant believe you think its easier to take the rad out than remove the bumper....

 

Looks pretty good man.

 

dont really like it.

 

 

nice DIY!

 

good work

 

well it took under 5 mins to take out the rad and im sure it wouldnt take 5 mins to take off the bumper.

 

FYI:
If you cant take the bumper off in less than 2minutes, youre inept.

actually its easier to take off the bumper. There are like 4 screws and 6 plastic clips.

 

i never took off a bumper of a civic but my old gti was a bitch to take off and get back on. i just assumed it wasnt worth it.

 

 

what's under the hood? i see a monster tach...

 

nothin but a greddy intake.. b16a swappin soon as a run into some loot.. got that tach free and i just wanted to use the shift light so i put it in. and yes i no theres a smartass comment commin from somebody that they sell just shift lights, but i decided not to blow 60 bucks on a shift light since i got a 150 dollar one for free lol.

 

buy the way.. thanks for all the replys

 

You are in need of a lesson in performance. That is all.

 

cool

 

haha i dont think he needs a lesson in performance. if your referring to the tach i believe some kid gave it to him since he got a suv or something and had no need for it. to each his own i say do whatever makes you happy. i was in the same boat but i sold my monster tach since i dont like the look of them. but i can actually use a 9k tach
