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.

He's talking about wheel horse power. 127 is when it's measured at the crank.

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'?

You can take the RS badge off and replace it with the EX lettering.

Damn I was trying to help you out so you don't get flamed on because some people like to so that around here and you act like I insulted you or something. Back to your question. 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

ok one dont come on here and tell us whats what like JR is coming out with a S/C bc many of us have called them directly and no they will not be producing an S/C for the D17... two u are talking about ricey when u already have rice on your car.. and the FP package only lowers the car 1.1" and not 2" as u claim.. so get your info right before u make an *** of yourself

It'll come off, but there is a solid plastic square where you attach the emblem.

yea sorry bout that i thought u were insulting me, but yea i was wrong.... yea i just thought maybe it would look ricey cuz id have like 3 different emblems on my car lol (RS, EX, FP) ... but i mean, if i take off the RS emblem will it look ok? or will it have some flat square piece behind it or something for that RS emblem to rest on? because i mean i like the style of the actual RS grill if only it didn't have the RS on it. .... i was thinking about getting the kaminari grill, but thats def expensive compared to the 25 i can spend on ebay for a new rs grill

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
