i like the looks of the coupe plus type r is sick. If you could do the swap yourself Id say go for it. That would be like 2500ish cheaper if you shopped around. I can't see investing that much extra in labor though, but thats just me. Probably better off buying a used type s if your spending more than 6k. The other thing is that with the civ/type-r you will have something that you cant buy at the lot. Those are just a few of the things to consider. JDM motors are so sick too. The price isnt bad but either way 8,500 is a lot of money. Chose wisely, you wont get it back once its into the car. I have probably 10k into my civ and its probably not worth any more than book value anyway. I'm keeping it till it dies(or rots out i guess- motors are easily replaced hehe) . Plus I love the car to death.

inline pro is a good company. They have built tons of great cars, but I went to them for the same thing. To expensive. They are making bank on that deal.
There aren't to many shops here in Northern VA
I use www.TheSpeedFactor.com, they just opened their shop.
