My first instinct is to hate it....but I actually think it looks really good....minus the chicken mesh front grill, but theres not much you can do to avoid that. Looks good!

P.S. -- someone is about to give you a lecture on how you are going to compress your spine in an accident.

ya i actually have a whole list of things i need, a few are just mugen valve cover, spoon resevoir cover/raidator cap/oil cap, black mugen seats, hopefully a roll cage, mugen championship side decal, eventually if enough money can be saved up my biggest thing would be to supercharge it, but thats not anytime soon, just wanna make it clean for now, hope to bring it to a few shows after some fixing up, thanks for the comments any more are welcome, thanks guys

heres an example of the decal lemme know what ya think of it

Actually its not bad that front end conversion looks good and not out of line. I also dont like the chicken wire look of that body kit and I usually hate body kits anyways but yours isnt that bad. Nice swap thats in it too, looks like a B18C1(GSR).

is it me or does the center of the bumper sag? a nice filler piece would really clean it up, looks good tho props for makin it look clean. and if ur lookin for a good subsitute for mesh, intercoolers work great! i got a ww kit on my crx with a starion intercooler sittin behind the bumper, really looks good and gets some dirty looks (love gettin the stare from ricers).

if it was turbo i'd put an intercooler there otherwise i think i would look kinda funny with a straight intercooler just chillin there no pipes lol, u cant turbo my motor, just like u cant turbo a type r without major engine work, cuz of compression, so theres no point, its quick for what it is, all i would do later is supercharge

I always wondered what that conversion would turn out like. You did a pretty nice job of it. Nice choice of rims too.

how did u do the conversion? i know of a civic ef owner who did it out here and they cut the front clip from a DA and had it put onto the EF. just sucks that the conversion extends the front about an inch.

WOW! Did that front end just bolt up, or what did you have to modify to get it on there. Details, details, details, lol! Looks really clean, I like it!
