Looks good both ways, but I think the CF hood looks better since it compliments the black rims and CF lip. Just about the only I don't like are the red painted rear drums. If you don't plan on swapping to discs anytime soon, I'd suggest painting them black.

I like your red Brembo rear drum conversion. Your car looks nice and clean! Now you just need CTR headlights to make it sexier.

IMO, I'd go w/ the CF hood and badge-less grill. More sporty and aggressive. Besides that, very nice and clean Civic.

Didn't you blast a deer or something a few months ago? I remember the spoon lip was destroyed though? Like the car with the painted hood but get another CTR grill instead of the oem one.
