my rice-detecto-meter is going haywire.

Dont get an E-Crap kit. Go Honda OEM, and make it look clean, so you wont get flamed by everybody that sees it.

If youre going to do mods, do them right so it has both form and function.

But do what you want. It's your car.

Theres plenty of EM2's here with OEM style kits and lips, with a decent 1.0-2.0 drop and they look sick.

Look at the "Official EM2 picture thread" and see for yourself.<FONT COLOR="red">Click here for the thread.</FONT>

Mine will be dropped here before too long, just have to take care of some bills first.

It's "Vtec", but regardless of whether or not you have one, it's a matter of can you buy one. Honda's have probably one of the easiest engine swapping structures out of any automobile manufacturer. You could have easily bought a K20, or atleast an EX head, and swapped for Vtec.

In my opinion, you wasted your money.

So the EX head is the vtec head then? You guys have loads of different models!

(UK only ever got the vtec version and they aren't called EX. They aren't actually called anything, now i think about it...)

wow you guys got some super jdm mega haters up in the 2001-2005 forum, let him buy his gay body kit, yes we would all love to see something with oem lips drive by us but lets be serious you cant stop the ridiculous pieces of **** with body kits,


and ive never had/prob never will have a 01-05 but i can tell you 300 dollars dont do **** to your engines, and a 300 dollar body kit is a little different than a 4000 dollar type s swap plus 2500 dolllars worth of parts to make it work


and seriousley that snapping at people about "its vtec not vtech you super un-jdm ******" that stuff is so old, what like 98+ percent of you guys are but *** slow in this forum so vtec or v-tec or vtech or v-tech no matter how you spell it its not gonna change your 25 second 1/4 mile

Regardless of what you think you can do with a 7th gen, there are plenty of examples where money could be put towards easy horsepower, by way of a cheap turbo setup. There is such a thing as junkyard building, you know. I've seen a D17 push out just about 220hp at the wheels, with no more than 500 dollars spent on the car. I know that's not a huge number, but for a budget, that's fantastic.


PS. I think you negated yourself on your first sentance. "...you guys got some super jdm mega haters up in the 2001-2005 forum, let him buy his gay body kit..." You definitely referenced yourself in that.

Man FullRaceHonda has something stuck up his *** lol. You know what man i could careless what you think of body kits or what you think of my car or how i spell v-tec. I am not about speed or racing. Just because i have a Honda Civic doesn't mean i have to put a turbo in it or does it mean i should put 6500 dollars into it just for a new motor. Sorry dude but i dont have a lot of money. I have alot of bills to pay and am looking to go to college and trying to work full time after i JUST got out of high school. So go ahead dude bitch just because every Honda isn't going to look or drive the way you want it to. I am going to make my car look and drive the way i want it to and if you like it or not i could careless, but i still have no problem doing it even if the whole world hated it. I am fine with a complete stock non v-tec 1.7 Liter engine running 16.8 1/4 mile time.

Good for you bro.... It's your car do what you want! And for some reason there are a lot of people who like to jump on other peeps on this site instead of just helping like this forum was set up to do. Although I also think the kit is a waste of money for you, but since your asking what kit to get... I like the xenon or Wings West G5 kit. Not sure if you can get it for the price you want but check it out!

So you going to paint this body-kit?

A good paint job is often times more expensive than a cheapo kit, then the kit cracks and you're out $$ for both.

Or you could not paint and look super ghetto.

yea actually i will paint it i dont plan on doing it ghetto. I know how to paint i'm not retarded, i've painted cars before i'm not no rook. But everyone that puts turbos and cold air intakes and other modifications to their car that makes their car quicker, thinks that body modifications and the people that do them are the most retarded things in the world. Thats fine i really dont care what you think, but get a life. please

well im sorry... every time i see some dude driving around with a body kit that isnt painted or, bondo all over there car is ******* retarded... I mean common... Some body kits can be clean, but most of them are freaking wack... I was working in a shop and this dude brought us a body kit for his 2000 si. It was only a bumper and side skirt, but I swear, i took off the OEM front bumper and tried to line up his new bumper... Holy shiets... that thing had a 1-2in gaps all over the place... Just makes sure your kit doesnt scream rice, and just do it right and make it clean. Dont go cheapo on that ****
