Thats tight... I think it would only look good on certain colors and SSM is one color that works... I like it.

I didn't see any of the CF hood ... looks nice though, was the trim peice on the trunk lid silver or did you do that yourself? I think it looks nice, props
EDIT: I see the hood now that you just put it up, looks nice

I like the silver trim on the trunk... it matches the trim on the hood.

Well, the only company that I know of that makes the trunk lid is fiber images. Im telling you guys, if you are gonna do cf, go buy their products. I am really happy with their quality and you can see the time and work they put into it. No messed up weave patterns, no unfinished edges. Yeah youre gonna pay a little more, but definitely worth it. the hood and trunk costed right around 1100 shipped so its not too bad. The other reason why I got this trunk lid was because I had a wing on the back of my stock trunk lid, but then I realized the error in my ways. Nothing against wings though, but I just dont think that wing is gonna help a fwd car unless you can get it over 160+ mph on a steady basis. Thanks again guys for the compliments. Later.

Next parts on the shopping block:

Tein Flex or JIC Magic coilovers
Black Recaro SRD's
Cybernation Stage II Turbo kit (that probably wont be for a while though.)

I like the hood more than the trunk lid. I think the trunk should all be CF IMO.

JICs.
SRD-3s.
Turbo? I'd like to see that.

TEIN's are the way to go..seems like you are like me a lot...only the best for your car...i have TEINs and they are amazing, about the seats...you should just go all out and get the Bride seats...sure it will probably cost 2grand with shipping...but they are the best.

What is M-Town? I live in So Illinois, and I've seen your car on Greg's page. If you're anywhere near me at anytime, I've got to see that beast. Wish I had a K20A...

Well Ive been told that the cf trunk lid is the big rage in japan right now. I keep hearing about a lot of race prepped civic hatchbacks and coupes having cf trunk lids. I might be misinformed though too, but oh well. I like it and i guess thats all that matters. . . .

trim pieces

VERY cool car,
the ONLY thing i would do if it were mine is: lose the silver trim piece, they just seem really out of place on such a clean car
but its your car, and hell... itll smoke my auto any day

heheh i cant believe that thing is getting a turbo
so cool, even with all the cf on the car.. a fast 7th gen is so unexpected

one last thing,
when can i expect to see that thing in a magazine? seems that car is a good candidate...

awesome man, just awesome
