sic1civic's build
I have been working on my car for some years now (money has been tight as of late) and it is on it's 3rd build.
My next plans are to shave the outer taillights, the passenger side handle, and the roof drains. Then going to swap out the passenger side door hinges to a suicide hinge and go with a 90 degree door on drivers' side.
Then from there will be the K20 swap and the full custom stereo before I go with the paint job that I am doing on it
Now remember I am doingf all the work myself, unlike the first two builds where I had help.

Re: sic1civic's build
I got the whole front end conversion from AIT Racing
The actual DC5 front bumper would have to be cut in half and remolded to fit the front end of a Civic. It is about 2 inches wider.
I already had that experience with a Seibon Carbon Fiber hood for the RSX. Was too wide and did not want to cut up a RSX carbon fiber hood to make it fit, so I sold it for $400 in 2005.

Why a k20? I would stop this car and try to sell it on ebay, I dont know if it will sell there though. Buy another civic (same year) and start over this car is already messed up.

Re: sic1civic's build
Im sick and tired of coming onto this site and seeing all the hate. In his original post he never asked for any comments or criticism yet all you guys decide to give him a negative reply. Im sure the guy could care less about what all the jdm nut swingers think, but weve all seen hack job cars and he has done well so far. to the OP keep up the good work.

Have a good day, sir.
