Spoon style or Invidia style will hang a little lower in the middle.

Probably the Spoon, but remember the sides of it dip lower than the middle, so you have to be careful of ground clearance on the corners, especially going up/down driveways.

Why did you set the I/C so low? There's plenty of room to mount it higher on Civics.

we tried at many and many places that. there was no way to keep the buimber support with that thing.. so that really was the only way to do it, the mounting tabs were on the bottom of it, plus i really wanted to keep my fogs... do you have any reccomendations on how to mount it, while still keeping fog's

I've never mounted an I/C and kept the fogs, but usually we trim some of the bumper support to allow the I/C to squeeze in and sit higher. Alot of people don't like doing this, because of safety issues, and I can understand that.

I wanted to try and keep my fog's, if I didnt have them I would have no worries about it beign so low, it could have been done higher.... but i wanted to keep em, so this was the way that it could have been done...

Alex... yah, i guess some things...lolj/p dawg
