Car could use a lip... and you really need to ditch the JDM drivers badge.

I think a different set of wheels would really set the car off too... but honestly, it looks to be a nice start. The engine bay look really clean!

I want to go with the Work Meisters. However, the money issue is always a factor. I want to get a lip, I just can't decide on which route to go. Carbon Fiber, SIR, or Type-R. Same with rear. I can't figure out which one I like the most.

Scary my front end used to look exactly like that. Personally I like the Spoon lip. After that the SiR.

Hey thanks to everyone for the feed back! I've been lower and I agree it obvious looks better lower I just hate scraping. I do all my own paint and I'm just tired of repainting and touching up the front. I was thinking that when I get a lip that I wouldn't paint it but I can't decide if its going to look bad.

headlights and a lip and a burning of the badge would do wonders. Even if those are achieved, you probably still wouldnt be ek squad worthy.

You live in San Diego? Dude, blur your plates with the quickness. How's your security?

Aside from what worries me, the car's looking great. A carbon fiber lip would definitely compliment your car's bright yellow and black scheme. Just keep it safe dude, that BAR'd swap is too awesome to let go.

Car is solid man, but if you want to be in the EK squad u have a lot of work to do. But its not a big deal to belong or not to an online squad.

car looks clean and nice, but a lip is needed badly. not really feeling they wheels as well, but i think it's just because the tire size seems too big for them. keep it up tho man.

Your right. But I'm terrible at this image modifiying and adding images s*&^. I should have let the wife do it. I keep her under lock and key. I've had 5 Civics stolen. Everytime you learn something new. Not that it can't be taken but I make it damn hard.

I stressed over the tire selection when I got them but I went too conservative 195/50/15
I think the 45's would have looked better. Thanks for the info!

96-98 ctr lip most def!

or a j's racing lip. id go that route, not too many ppl have it.

i just think those because all of your trim is painted. if it were like mine and all the trim was black id say an sir lip.

clean swap to.
