thanks guys
sideskirts are definately next on my list, might get the door handles color matched, keep the mirrors black with a black roof.

looks clean, I think dark tint and all around lip kit would top it off.paint the mirrors and handles the car color . maybe red H on the in the back too.

looks awesome! Love the wheels and brakes! They look very similar to the TL wheels. I wish i had the photography skills and camera to take some nice shots like that! the only thing im not in love with is the steering wheel, only bc of no air bag. you may want to find out for your state, but im pretty sure in most states it is illegal to ditch the air bag (or any other safety restraint for that matter) that comes stock.

Thanks for the compliments and comments
Yeah, as mentioned, sideskirts are definately next lol, going to source out some EL sideskirts, I really like those!
the shop owner here plays with a lot of hondas, most of the parts were used, but they're all in MINT MINT condition! Wheels, brakes, 5 lug, etc. etc. were all from his shop.
stock d series, with a Fujita CAI, that's about it, nothing special
^^ as mentioned above, everything was from the same shop.
I used RSX-base knuckles, so I don't have to change my axles, with EP3-R brakes, Russell SS lines, EP3 e-brake cables, RSX-S brake booster with 15/16 master cylinder, EP3-R calipers (hence the Type R on them) with Carbonetics street/race brake pads.
Genuine EP3-R wheels too
The Buddy Club seat fits me perfectly! Mind you... I'm a skiny *** asian guy, so it fits me snug. Daily driver can be pretty annoying, but you will get used to it. I went for a bucket seat because I love the lower sitting position

Yes, a lot of thigns are illegal up here, but that's how we roll

EP3 Civic Type R
17x7, +45 offset, 215/45/17 Yokohama Advan A-046 tires
The red Honda emblem was from a DC5 Type R I think... don't remember exactly, either EP3-R or DC5-R.
Thanks!

I don't think there's anything about that car that I don't like. Looks really good.

but just to give you an idea of how low it is... I'm about 6 feet tall, when I'm sitting in the seat, my eye is level with the top of the dash, so basically from outside of the car, you can only see the top of my head
again, thanks for all of the compliments!
