what do you think of the ride? I have been reluctant to post pics of my ride for fear that it could be labeled the ever feared word... "rice" I know how critical you guys are, but I kind of what just like your input. I am about to install a rear sway 19mm and a Carbing lower tie.....what do you think?

Drop it, new rims, change tails back to stock and fix your interior, then you'll be in right direction. Nice 04-05 rear bumper...had me going there for a second until I looked at your headlights lol. What exhuast is that?

it was night and day no bs I had a crap ebay cold air with a k&n filter .... the bottom pipe cracked so i moved the filter to make it sri.....terrible.....
the v2 was instant noticeable difference don;t think it's going to be like 15 hp cause its not. you will notice gains throughout yourr power band. the sound.....thats all i have to say...the sound
my fav mod in that engine bay is that neuspeed bar.....

Awww nice, they will look better smoked then. As far as exhuast, I thought it looked like it was wrapped in CF. Reminds me of the HKS one that's wrapped in CF. What kind of drop you looking for? You could always go with coilovers and adjust them to the height you want. Coils are pricey but worth it.

loose the tails all together. smoked or not. also how loud is the exhaust? does it still have the resignator? that can make ur car rice in a heartbeat if it sounds like a bee!
Re: what do you think of the ride?
I will take a guess and say anything that can be popped off with a screw driver on the car is painted blue. That thing is leaning to the side of rice. You need to get a better balance with what you paint.

nadaboh!!!
paint the eye lids as well to match the car. they look black but i could be wrong. and as stated above 04/05 tails are the best looking tails for em2's. the whole chrome thing is for baller cars not imports.

the exhaust is very quiet, it is solely an axle back system....the rest is all stock, stock resonator, stock cat, etc... I love it....its nice and quiet!

the decals arent visible unless the door is open, its not like they are on the car itself... everything done wrong?....thats a little harsh
Re: what do you think of the ride?
hey man, its unique, i like the color, but not too into the matching trim, kinda doesn't work well with the biege interior. it sure is hard to find anything that matches it, i would know. not too into the tails, but might look better smoked. i have those rims too, it'll look way better dropped tho

Sorry for being harsh but its the truth....The style is not unique in anyway, I see a lot of riced out cars here in LA and Ive seen it a lot worse than your car. This is just what ppl think when they see it but dont let us change your mind if you like it. Have fun with it

if you like it thats all that matters. id rather see different civics driving around instead of everyone with stock look.
