It looks like you have alot of hard work put into this car. It'll make a sweet show car. Even though its not really my taste, you did a great job on it, and you like it--thats all that matters.

I came into this thread a little late, but here it goes:

Honestly, I don't think it's that bad of a car. There's only two things I dislike: 1) the altezzas 2) the wing. Other than that, I think it looks fine (it'll obviously look a lot better once it's painted). Also, I'm likin' the back bumper... I like how you did put the buddy club-ish diffusers there. What did you do to the sides of the bumper? I can see like vents, but just barely... more pics of the bumper maybe?

And I'm sad to say it, but HCF is starting to follow honda-tech with the hating... jeez, so the guy doesn't have a lip kit.. is that any reason to hate? probably 85-90% of the responses I've seen have been "you ****ed up... you should have gone with a lip kit". I'm not saying that it's wrong to tell him that you think lip kits are better, but don't tell him he wasted his money. It's his car, and he's modding it how he wants.

(sorry if I came off as an *******, but I'm tired of seeing people get bashed just because they aren't following the rest of the crowd and gettinga lip kit... and sorry if anything I've said offends anybody.)

i agree with you 100% here. i'm really getting tired of asshats just saying, "just drop it, get some wheels and a lip kit". i mean come on people, that's just stupid. maybe they don't want their car to look like yours, maybe they want it to look like something they would want. and the next time i hear that, i'm going to say something as well. it's just getting out of hand, if he likes body kits, then hell, he likes them, who cares? and i'm sorry, but my05civic, you're just getting rude and it sounds like you're getting defensive or something and you're belittling everyone elses opinions.

Whether you like what he did or not, he put a lot of work into it and did a good job and he should be respected for that at least.

They do make a rear bumbers that looklike what you made that onelook like so I think that was unnessisary fiberglass work, you could have just bought one that looks like that. Although I'm not sure if it has a place for duel exhaust. How are you hanging the second muffler? It looks like a bungie cord from that picture. Do you have any plans for the doors? Lambo or suicide? What about interior?

Car looks like its gonna stand out in a crowd once its painted. Good job on all the work your puttin in it. But just how loud is the dual mufflers? every time i hear a 4 cylinder car with two, its so loud, i dont know how the people inside the car can stand it.

@ Mr Mobsta Man: I never saw a place to buy the rear bumper like i'm making it. it's something I just wanted to do like I wanted so I could be shure it's totaly my taste and nobody else has it. For the left muffler, now it's hanging. but we gonna weld something so it will be properly suspendended. for the doors i'm thinking of lambo, but not right now. my money is almost gone. the interior will be modified this winter. the interior wil be black and white lether (don't know if it's written well) and some carbon accents on the dash and doorpanels. also a litlle bit Ice and stuff in the trunk

@cyberx32: Actualy, the muffler is not realy loud. it has a nice sound when you put the pedal to the metal, but when you drive calm and properly you almost don't hear it. it's because it's the stock header and cat and stuff. my catalisator is ready to be swapped for an aftermarked one and i soon gonna get an 4-2-1 header. I think that my muffler gonna be a lot louder then. but if it's to loud, i'll just put the silencers back in. I just want a nice sound, not a race car sound when i'm driving slow if you know what I mean.


@ everybody: I think we had a bad start with my project and thread because I did a bad explanation and you all thought I drove my car like that. No way I would ever do that.

@ the people that dusn't like my car. to bad, but then again, everyone has his own taste. .
