Did you paint it yourself? Looks good. I'm ordering a new lip soon, the mugen one I got sucks and from when I mounted a snow bank I tore it where it screws it. I kind of like the ctr lip except that everyone has them, and they don't really go that low. The Mugen one I have seems to sit lower giving the front an even lower look than it is, I have like 2 inches of clearence up front with the lip. I'm thinking about a Spoon lip.

Your car needs to be lower lol, but I am a believer in going as low as possible or don't watse your time lol. I scrape my $500 GReddy Evo2 every day leaving my driveway, but it is worth it lol.

Is that just the lighting or are your headlights a little hazy? If hazy, use Meguiar's PlastX. Good stuff.

You ride height looks nice, don't mess with it. Just about what mine is. Too low makes the handling worse as well as a possibility of f@cking other things up scraping etc. Also, no one knows how the roads are in your area, too. Mine are pretty rough (especially in town), and I can just make it over the worst speed bump in the area without scraping, so I wont be going any lower. 2+ years of driving slammed cars, the grinding/scraping noise gets old.

I have a type r rear lip. and ya cv i love where and how my car sits right now, colorado roads arent the greatest unfortunately either, but where my car is set up now i perfect imo. =D

1. Most ACTIVE members on here do not have body kits. I can't think of any who frequently post on here that do.

2. Did you even happen to read the title of his thread. TURBO D. D <------. He is boosting his D, not swapping it for a B. I swear newcomers are getting worse and worse.

^ what scott said lol.

as far as taking the PS and A/C out, PS is already out and i wont take the a/c out. there is no point as it does nothing to the motor unless it is engaged.

I cannot imagine living south of the mason-dixon line without a solid A/C in my car. If you want to go faster, hit the button and it has the same effect as permanently denying yourself cold air. Your civic looks gorgeous. Makes me wish I still had mine instead of this &@^%$ Kia. The tail lights are particularly nice looking. I don't really like the solid black look on anything but a jet black car, so your tinting is nice.

Who cares if it makes a ton of power compared to a fully built B series? D series engines make a decent amount of power, are more common than hydrogen and stupidity, and they're easy to work on. His boosted D would be a lot of fun to drive, and I'm pretty sure that's the whole idea.
