Rep Power: 364 much better!! I like how you have molded the sides to the body nice job on the trunk too- doesnt that make it a lot heavier though and mess it up with the shocks (or is it painted cf)?
anyways, looks good buddy

Rep Power: 225 tell you the truth i like the ride better with the 19's. it felt like i could feel everything in the road with 17's but i just thought it was because the car was set up for 19's and not 17's. oh and if you are thinking about shaving your handles or your trunk don't. take it from me just one big pain in the *** i wash some one told me that a few years back because i would have never got it. i am putting the car in the shop next week to get painted for the car show in panama city on the 10th. i think i am going to go with a deep gun metal or black

Rep Power: 257 i like it, did you do box flares in the rear? cause it seems wider than stock...
not really feeling the shaved trunk though, it kinda looks...empty...nice job nonetheless though in keeping the bodyline that's there

Rep Power: 225 i live in coulumbus GA.that paint job will be around 1500 not that much, and tuningmycivic the rear is stock it looks wider in the rear becouse the side skirts are molded so its a little thick befor the fender. but thanks guys for all your comments

Rep Power: 0 i love that car, but i wish you kept the front stock + your kit.
i don't like how it seems like you attempted to convert it to an 06-07 civic.
still nice though :]

Dude ur car is amazing!!!!!!! are u drivin without a grill. It looks dece without one. I love the kit its a tsunami rite? Thats prolly my favorite bodykit. Ur old rims were still pretty sweet but i can see why u went to 19s. That 1500 does that include the cost to take the engine out and paint the engine bay and do the repaint on everything like inside of trunk and that????? thats a good deal
