no offense but so you don't get flamed on. Your engine will probably have lik 105 hp to the wheels instead of the 140 you claimed in your little discription. Also jacson racing is not going to make a supercharge for our car. just my .02
btw how much did you pay for your civic?

ok A. considering my car is an EX means that i start off with 127 hp anyway...so where are you pulling 105hp out from ... so get that fact straight ... B. jackson racing is supposudly making a S/C for the 01-04 civics, so get fact 2 straight
Now to answer your last question, 17,400, my dad was able to talk them down from 18,900

a. you got ripped off
b. the 105 he is talking about is power to the ground, which is the real hp of a car, not the crank hp.
c. you got ripped off
d. 140? you gotta be kidding me. id love for my car to put out 140, but in actuality its putting out bout 120 to the ground (at most). and yes i got more mods than u (engine-wise).
e. jrsc? why do you want one of those crappy things? they blow ***, and deez nutz.

ok, back to the real reason for this thread .. i wasn't asking someone to inform me about the **** that is wrong with my ride, or something that u dont like or whatever, the main question was...would an RS grill be too ricey...and if it is, is the RS badge removable? ... can someone legitamatly answer that question without bitching and moaning about how my car is 'this' or 'that'?

what if i completely take of the RS badge? will it look like a altezza style grill with the honda emblem on it? or will there be some sort of piece next to the emblem where the RS used to be?

No it won't look ricey. As you see if you searched many people on this site have the grill and they like it. If you think it looks ricey on your car than take it off and put the ex emblem on it

haha yea, i used to hop curbs and stuff, one day me and my friends hit up an abandoned complex and we offroaded all over the grass and burned out with 4WD on and stuff.... little did we know that some bitch called us in after an hour and we got busted, it wasn't fun considering there was a 'private property, violators will be prosecuted' sign hidden behind a bush, probo for 6 months ... fun

at first i was kinda unsure about doing things from my car, cuz it was all new and stock and i was like 'omg new' type of head going into it....but once i got my catback (after 5 months of owning the car lol) im now looking forward to dropping more and more money into it ... even if it doesn't perform as well as i want it to, its still fun
