start saving for the b16a. you will be much happier modifying that engine.... plus if you start moding this engine and you get the b16a later you may endup buying the same parts twice ie: headers intake ect.....

I would beg to differ from ecerybody else. Go save up for an LS swap, then lower it, upgrade the brakes, save up for a VTEC head , then add whatever you want after that.... You will thank yourself for getting that LS, cuz torque really makes a difference on the street.... OR better yet, look for a B20Z motor....think about it! I have a B16 in my CRX and to tell you the truth I would like to have some lower end grunt to it, especially if youre gonna use this car on the streets where most of the time you dont even rev up to 7500-8000 range. GOOD LUCK!

how long have you been into the import seen? 5 extra horses? if theres one thing you need to learn its not to believe advertisements. anyways if i were you id buy a truechoice stage 3 coiloverkit (double adjustable koni shocks with eibach springs), a very big improvement in your performance, moreso than a b16 (not drag of course).

the best stuff i've found for removing the adhesive is non abrasive hand cleaner, its about a buck or 2. peel what will come off then apply liberally to the aftermath use lots of elbow grease and you're done. make sure to use non abrasive hand cleaner. before you buy it open it up and rub some between you fingers if you feel any grit move on.

I work at a body shop and I will tell you that unless you have a brand new paint job, you will see lines. And you can't just peel the lines off (unless they are new).

Well the clear corners on the first pic, look bad, in my opinion. Maybe get some new headlights that are clearer, maybe some projectors, or go back to the stock corners. It just stands out too much

Drop it a little. NO body kit sleeper is better. Leave the paint as well. B16 is a must. As well as better rims 15's anything over that is too big and will just weigh the car down. ( type R's wouldnt come with 15's if they werent perfect) For that size car at least. Energy suspension bushing kit.
