Tell me what you think, you won't hurt my feelings, I promise....





















I bought it with dirty white wheels, body wasn't clean, had a big *** aluminum wing, slowly trying to clean it up and make it a little more subtle... The front is fiberglass and I had the cracks repaired but it has not been painted to match the car, I just sprayed it flat white (polished & waxed)...I am not planning on keeping the bumper so there really was no use in paying to have it sprayed to match.

Just turned over 2,500 miles today on brand new engine installed 3 weeks ago:

• New B18C5 w/ a B18C1 Valve cover ;-)
• ARP head studs
• Comptech CAI
• Skunk2 Intake Manifold w/ Hondata IM Gasket
• DC Sports 4-1 ceramic coated header
• DC Sports Stainless Exhaust
• R1 Carbon Fiber Muffler
• Stock GS-R gear box
• Cusco flywheel (one piece chromoly 8.75lbs)
• Clutchmasters FX300 clutch kit (Stage III)
• A'PEXi V-AFC (now removed)
• Short Shifter

Waiting on conversion harness to install OBDIIa P73 ECU with the V-AFC pigtail.

I'm doing suspension/handling mods before the body/looks....but I really want a HID JDM conversion or even just a USDM '98+ bumper with a Type-R lip. I hate the fiberglass bodykits but I got the car with it on and the swap has drained the $$$ to replace it so I am trying my best to clean it up as it is for the time being.

Surprisingly to me it looks pretty good. I don't usually care for body kits, bu the drop, color and wheels kinda tie it all together.

 

i don't mind body kits, but that front end does not go with that car at all

you better off with buddy club or c-west with the sides and rear

 

the car is put together very well, but it just looks too busy.

IMO its ugly, but hey its your ride bro, pimp that ****.

 

get rid of the black wheels and paint your white ones to color match your car

 

doesnt look bad, considering im not a fan of body kits, shave the sidemouldings, i think that would compliment the look u are goin for

 

i think if you went oem bumpers with a stock lip kit it would look really nice, but the current look isn't all that bad.

 

the front bumper kills it. also the rear bumper, if it didn't have those holes on the side, it wuld look decent

 

if you want a suggestion, get a 99-00 front end, type r lip, stock skirts/rear, and ya done.

edit: nice pictures.

 

get rid of the body kit...everything else is

second that.

 

If it's fiberglass rip it off. Get some cheap stock side skirts and bumpers. Sell the DC parts, get a real header, and a get ahold of Kteller for an exhaust. Good taste in both sets of wheels though.

 

i don't like the front piece,but the sides and rear look nice,i love the engine

 

I actually kind of like it. That kit doesn't look too bad, and it's different than most tegs you see on here. You should leave it like that, just get a spoiler.

LOL, I have a stock one in a box, mint condition, and it came with a big *** aluminum wing that I removed almost immediately....I think I'm staying slick, people ask and I say it's an LS.

Before Pictures:

 

the car looks good. you should change the front bumper. a buddy club front would look tite.

 

bigger chrome rims.. jk... the kit is okay.. maybe a different front bumper if u wanna stick witht he kit.. pretty clean... i see u ddint go with the jdm trend to u

 

i dont like the kit...

 

I think the rear kills the car the most.

If you are handy with glass at all, I think if you molded the side vents smooth on the front bumper and the rear. The kit would look awesome.

Thats actually the same front on my 96 civic, and Im taking it off for the stock w/ ctr lip. I'd say those side vents are the biggest/only problem with it.

Im rambling again.

 

its pretty decent with the kit on but im not feelin the rear/front, still decent though.


maybe stick with the 4eyes front and maybe go "spoon" lip, i think tegs look nice with that and itd flow with the sideskirts, so maybe just pick up a diff rear bumper.

all in all, not bad.....nice job cleaning it up too.

 

the front and rear bumpers don't look right

 

What are the name/brand of the white wheels?

 

sell the kit + wheels and put everything back to stock. use money from sold wheels and kit to buy smaller 15" wheels and some kick *** tires and go AUTOx or HPDE

That is what everybody does. I think you should put the wing back on, because I think it actually looks good on your car. I don't like kits and stuff but for some reason yours looks really good like that. And put the white wheels back on.

 

I would put the OEM bumpers and skirts on.
