Hey, we may not like it, but as long as you do that's all that matters. It does seem like you did everything the right way, and your body work looks like it was done right; I just don't like the style at all....
EDIT: I saw it said that you just got it... if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it? Not trying to be nosy, just curious as to what Civics with modifications like that can be sold for.

Here you go:
Doesn't look too run-of-the-mill to me...

Welcome to the forum. I am relatively new (since April), but you better get used to getting flamed for that thing. Most people here like to dance the thin line between stock and aftermarket, where you will know there is something special about the car, but it isn't glaring (like the chrome all over yours).
If I had to make on comment, it would be on the interior. Maybe it is just the pictures but whatever they used upholstery the interior looks absolutely terrible. It looks like something out of a 70's parody movie. And the red paint on the interior adds to the cheap look on the interior. If I were you, I would either hunt down a new interior, or start repainting to a less tacky color scheme. A full blacked out interior, or black with graphite accents could look good if done well.
And when people comment, it isn't any against you personally. There are just a million teenagers who get a Civic as their first car, and think if it is aftermarket and chrome, it is cool to add onto their vehicle.
Most of the time, it just devalues the car because the pieces are lower quality and the design may start to lack continuity. For example, your head lights, chrome all over including a border around the edge. Turn signal either doesn't have chrome or it is faded. Now if it were a single chrome border around the whole edge of the headlight and turn signal without clearly separating them, and without the weird junk in the middle of the light, the headlights would work well with the wheels and windows.

The only reason I took offense is because you told Wisener he was the only person to come at you with decency... I normally tear people up who post up cars like that but for some reason I felt like being nice and I said this:
I even told you that it looked like everything was done right on your car, even though I didn't like it...
