GET RID OF IT! It's old, and behind the times. The only way you rock that kit is if it's an actual Mugen kit, otherwise ditch it. That's my opinion on the matter.

i think thats what im gonna do, and even when im not speeding(speeding on public roads is retarded after u see a 140mph crash on the highway), i still get heat, hell i was accelerating to 4K to get up to speed on a highway ramp and a cop pulled me over saying i was going too fast, and that its a "verbal warning".

i want less attention, thats my reasoning for this, i like the kit though

i will sell it if anyone wants it for 100 plus shipping

While i love the WW Kit, it looks perfect on a CRX, I took mine off and went back to stock, i think that OEM is just a tiny bit better than the WW kit.

Leave it alone. You'll need your finances to do what you just said.

Minus the hood. ZC headlights are pretty much single bulb/bucket headlights (whereas the USDM is split into two). Cool thing is you can get the LHD EDM variants with motorized tilt as well. I'd imagine it'd be pretty nifty if you lived out in the country where deer/other wildlife run around (can aim your headlights higher at a flick of a switch).
