Look at the nice little private message JOEDC5 left me:
hahahaha gee, I always thought people liked CF. I didn't know that CF was stupid ... nor did I ever think it was supposed to match 
went your extra mile to pep boys is more like it

Surprise, but when I took my Civic to honda the owner was so amazed of the car he contacted the Major HONDA company to talk about new kits that should come with the new cars. Don't talk **** unless you can back it up and I wouldn't talk because I would be ashamed of your civic and BOTTOM line is I would drive a piece of **** oldsmobile over your civic. And get rid of the POORtirican hood. YOUR LUCKYI DON't LIVE IN CALI!!!!

Rep Power: 0 If you are gonna do that much power you are gonna have to do the internals so the motor can handle the abuse. Also Greg at Hondawerx said the cybernation turbo is garbage and is worth of shi*. And Hondawerx had them put in the cybernation kit and they still had problems. Greg and the crew ended up taking apart most of the motor and rebuilding it. Be carefull with cybernation I would hate to see you loose alot of money and time.

If so I thought that was the TypeS.
Very nice swap and I like the added touch of a turbo

Rep Power: 292 not for nothing... sometimes i just dont get people on these boards... someone does something other then a stock color or does something a little different and right away everyone has to start with the rice... its rice....
what cause its a bright blue sooo what other than the white grill what is wrong with that color ? and painted interior.... well it goes with the color scheme so how is that rice ?

someone puts alot of time and money into their car and everyone just rips on it...
i dont understand why people cant be constructive about their oppinions right away people have to just start attacking....
give someone credit for the work they have done.... you dont like it thats your oppinion... but you dont have to start laying into em... you can post your oppinions w/o attacking someone.....

Rep Power: 296 Its how you used your color combination that makes me hate the car.
I live in Los Angeles where I see many cars with mods gone to hell.
Alot of these cars tend to be the ones with the blue/yellow or blue/white combo.
The problem is that when they paint their interior they go out and buy the generic blue color which resembles the color on your car in the pictures. They go about painting their car for a "two tone" look but it ends up looking like a blue cow with white spots. This makes the car look really cheap. The blue car and white grill makes it look like one.
Secondly, the exact thing is done with the interior. I think a nice looking interior thats going for a tow-tone look should have the colors split up horizontally so that the top is one color and the bottom is another. When you got 2 colors just scattered about like your car has (i.e. blue shift boot and white trim rings), it again makes the car look like a blue cow with white spots...or a white cow with blue spots. Either way it looks really tacky. Remember the tacky multicolored jackets from the 80's? Yeah that tacky.
I don't mind the shade of blue you used...its just how you used it.
Hope you understand what I just said.

Rep Power: 0 I would take that up with stitchcraft interiors since they color coordinated the interior. They are professionals. And I told them I was going 3 tone. Blue/White/Blk. Also the car matches perfectly fine. Blue and white do match. In fact white seems to match anything. AND FOR THE LAST TIME!!! THE INTERIOR IS NOT PAINT IT WAS WRAPPED BY STITCHCRAFT INTERIORS WITH SPECIAL VINYL THAT IS FLEXIBLE IN ORDER TO WRAP THE INTERIOR. THERE IS VINYL MARKS IN IT SO THAT IS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SOME ONE SANDED IT DOWN AND PAINTED IT. IT LOOKS ORIGINAL. ALSO THE CAR IS ALOT BRIGHTER IN THE PICS AND SO IS THE INTERIOR. I REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS OF THE OUTSIDE. I POSTED THIS ON INPUT FOR THE MOTOR. I LIKE THE CAR AND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE DO TOO(MAYBE NOT HERE BECAUSE RICE IS JUST ABOUT ANYTHING) AND IT'S FAST REAL FAST AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

Rep Power: 0 Another thing too. This may be the ricest car here so you all belive but it's prolly one the fastest rice cars. Throws everyone off dosen't it. People think I am bowlshi**** when they see the TYPE-R on the fenders. People think it's got no go.

Rep Power: 0 IMO I don't like the car at all. I give him props for the motor and that's it. I'm not hating on you but it's just not my style. When you put the motor in you should've painted the engine bay the same color as the car, IMO. BUt nice motor. When you can post some dyno results.

Rep Power: 0 yea sick car just not my style at ALL. i duno what color your car was originally but lets say black. lower it professionally and throw on some 16 inch black w/ silver lip rota slipstreams with high performance rubber. black out the OEM headlights and throw in some H.I.D.'s. an altezza grill will finish off the front. in the back, shave the badges and leave the stock tails and the OEM spoiler. tint the windows to 20% all around. i would leave the interior just as you have it except all in black. that would be the sickest car on this website. oh well...

But MOST of the people on here will say YES THOSE KITS ARE "RICE", GAUDY, TASTELESS, THEY DO NOT MATCH THE SLEEKNESS OF THE CIVIC BODY.
THIS IS OUR FVCKING OPINIONS.
Mixing and matching opposite colors like white and black...blue and black....yellow and RED...May stand out... (imagine if i painted my honda grille white
)But do they look good? NO
Sure you may have gone to a show and won an award for the best rice, but in reality we like to drive nice clean rides.
you may aprove my post

Rep Power: 0 Hey, if you didn't want to hear other people's opinions you shouldn't have posted the pictures of your car, and if you did want to get people's reactions you shouldn't be so cocky and sensitive about it.
