Does your front splitter make the tail uncomfortably loose on the highway?

(I'm being serious, not making fun. I think your car looks pretty good.)

I liked it better before you "JDM"ed it . Those headlights and that hood look like *** with that color. Should have left poor enough alone.

Hmmmm.......................... , no offense man but the before and after look like pure ***. I would suggest either just get a 99-00 Civic front end with an SI front lip and get a stock bumper and get rid of that ****. Have they contacted you about being in F and F 3? Not being mean but I just am not feeling that whole hugeass body kit, but its your car and style so if you like it then thats all that matters.
