if you look in the appearance/cosmetic forums.

you will find thousands of these.

any honda with a carbon fiber hood and a set of red recaros fits your description.

i disagree

i had my car painted with a black hood and roof, and it was very clean.

was not meant to be a CF imitation, if i wanted cf i would have gotten it.

You want to match that much, take some body paint and paint your face black too. I'd go for one color on the outside and black on the inside

Third google image result for 'Civic black hood.' It's even got your red recaros:



And the best part.... IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A BODY KIT!

lol sorry man, I didn't know you didn't want a hatch. I was seriously trying to answer your question. When you post here allday, every day, you get a little cynical.

okay, close your eyes and imagine that car with a trunk.

EDIT: Here ya go, dawg:


I'm not feeling the unpainted lip and sideskirts, but it's not too bad.

I personally like the 99-00 the best. The one pictured is a 96-98. The 92-95 have a bit easier/better engine/suspension swap options.

Well, the one in the picture isn't really a body kit, it's just a lip. They're about $120 from lots of places online.

Those don't look bad at all.

On the 92-95, it's bolted on the hood. On 96-00 it's molded into the grille plastic.

Sorry... there are holes in the hood for it though, aren't there? I could have sworn that it had the plastic tabby things that went through the holes. I'm probably wrong.

so you said its molded on there? does that mean youll have to get a new grill to get the honda symbol off?

and is it possible to get a full lip around the car because for me being stupid ive mistaken that for a body kit

Okay, I wont rip this this time. 92-95 civics are a little lighter and more compact. 98-00 theyre a little bigger. You get alarms for it just go check. As far as I know, There is holes but they body bolt in they just sit in there, held on with tape. Lip kits are pretty cheap and usually aren't concidered by others as RICEY, in fact some look rather clean. And if you want even less weight, don't do black hood, do carbon fiber or carbon kevlar. It will run you 500+ dollars but theyre super light and well worth it. And I've been reading other threads besides the ones I commented on and you get ripped on pretty bad. If you want to stop that, don't ask question other then finding cars and pros and cons about engine parts. For the rest, just go look through other threads, iit's the best way to learn and get ideas
