None of the parts would be considered rarest of the rare. Many people have done those mods. If you want something people haven't done, it would have to be custom.

yeah, if you can find any information posted on it then it's not rare.. you'll really need to think outside of the box, ask lots of "what if's?"

I don't understand the preoccupation with having something that other people don't have. The reason certain modifications become popular is because they work well (or look good) and usually are relatively easy to do. If you have a honda civic it's going to be hard to do something different that is worth doing. Trying to be different simply for the case of being different makes about as much sense as a fashion show.

Front splitters, rear diffusors, etc. All are very function>form, but look different as well. Search it up man, gl.

thehatchninja - I so agree with you man.

People always want to be different, something to make them stand out instead of what they really want. They all get blinded the fact and driven into the OMG it's Mugen I gotta have ****.

To be different and to be rare the best any advice that you will receive will be be yourself. Do what you feel you like and don't get clouded by what people have or don't have instead what you want to drive.

If you want to be different then try a Honda Beat like WhiteSol project (https://honda-tech.com/forums/tech-misc-15/my-honda-beat-project-technical-deconstruction-little-known-honda-2238661/)

Then again if your one of those that must have rare **** then good luck with what ever your looking for because you will never find it, if you do then it's being done so it ain't rare.

^^^ORLY? Pics? That sounds like it would be cool.

Here's some of the stuff I did in the way of customization:
I did a free lowering job on mine by driving it 200K miles and then throwing in a B18C1.

I have an 89 Accord shift **** because I don't know anyone else who has one in a Civic and I like the way it feels.

I have rotas with no centercaps because they won't let me run them on the track lol.

I filled my torque mounts with polyurethane window weld because I can't afford good mounts.

I have amazing speed dimples in the doors that other people thoughtfully added for me in the parking garage, free of charge.

I painted my valve cover wrinkle red because no one else with a Honda has ever had a wrinkle red valve cover.

I chopped up an LS intake arm with a saw because I can't afford a gsr arm or a decent intake.

My car's starting to look ghetto fabulous. Pics in the link in my signature.

paid 400 for them. They Came out of a wrecked EVO. I used vision rails so they would sit lower. You also have to modify the Evo seats by cutting some notches off them. Here's a pick of them ( i know i need to vacuum my interior ) They are amazing, they look amazing and they are way cheaper then ITR seats

haha man pretty simple why they are function over form, front splitters/air dams limit the air from going underneath your vehicle and getting pocketed in open areas underneath your car (such as the engine bay) on top of creating frontal downforce for better traction at high speeds. EG's and EK's in particular have rear bumpers that act like parachutes especially on the track and if any of you have ever done touge or circuit you should already know this. Check these out, extremely good quality and work very well just picked mine up http://www.mlrmotorsports.com/catalo...af6997f08ff497 gl with those "custom" headliners
