Pretty sexy.

Out of curiosity, why move the factory radio down by the cup holders?

Thank you for all your posts.I have been looking at wheels, but i still debating over doing a 5 lug conversion on my EK.

The suspension i currently have in skunk 2, and i am planning to upgrade.

As for the paint i have a couple on dings here and there, I have narrowed it down to 2 colors the champion white and a deep black.

thank you guys for all the posts and feel free to leave come feedback on my ideas.

**UPDATES**
Received my CTR Grill from jdmland!
Purchased my Civic Type R Vinyls x3!

do you plan on taking your car to the track? if you are then the 5 lug suspension is gonna be the best thing you will do to your ek, if your going for looks then i guess its still, aight.

oh and about the vinyls, umm dont doit leave it clean i learnd the hard way when people keep telling you a million times you dont have a ctr . The car looks alot cleaner with out vinyls..

i am planning on taking me car to the track, so i do think im going to do the 5 lug conversion, bigger brakes in the fron and discs in the back!

thanks for the pics on the vinyls. i guess i just had a mental image and i thought i would look sick, but the pics brought me back to reality. haha

Nice Hatch.

If you don't mind me asking. What have you done for secruity to prevent theft? If you have done nothing I would start researching ASAP before you keep putting on aftermarket parts, etc. Cause you will be kicking yourself in the *** and puking when you walk out and find your car has been stolen. Do a search for "Suspendedhatch". He has done a wonderful job giving people insight into effective security for there Honda.

Don't put CTR decals on it unless you atleast have 5-lug and Recaro seats. I'm known on here for hating replica cars but I always took CTR replicas as kind of an exception being that you can't purchase them in the US.
