It's got a nice tone. I really liked the tone on the Greddy, but the Skunk2 was a little cheaper.

I just think if I'm too loud, it's too rice.

that is true, that is why the ws2 is a popular choice, but it is a bit pricey though

The EVO2 exhaust is waay pricey. The WS2 isn't that expensive, I'll start to save after I figure out my intake and external issues. :P

same here, i was on my way to a graduation party so i thought before i pull out, ill just hold the window up and pull down on the regulator that way i can open my window a little bit and the window slipped out of my hands, dropped down inbetween the door and shattered.. good thing for tint tho, it held it all together so i diddnt have glass laying on the street. we put a sheet down, and pushed the window out onto the sheet.

while you have the bumper off, sand down the holes in front for the liscence plate and fiberglass over them, then sane again for a smooth finish... it would look cleaner. unless cali makes u have the front plate, idk




all in all, i dont think this car is to riced out, once u get the body kit off, ur pretty much good to go, the rims actually look good imho colormatched. i think it looks good anyway. i think once u get the bumpers and sideskirts off, itll look alot better. great project tho!

Yeah, in Cali you have to have a front license plate but it can be like in the windshield area. As long as its facing forward and visible, not necessarily on the front bumper. I've seen some pretty nice off center license plates. I'll just have to figure out where but I'll get down to sanding it. Also, I wanted to put either a Type R lip or a Mugen lip on the front end along with some yellow OEM fog lights.

She was running when I got her, then I was doing a few electrical tweeks here and there and now she's on a flatbed on the way to my family's shop for a complete fix. I think that it's because of ricers that tack on silly bumpers is what gives Civics a bad rep. I want to change that.

I was thinking either going with the license plate on my dash or a side mount. My uncle and mechanic was telling me that I have a cracked intake manifold...bleh. As far as all the repairs, he's going to hook it up on the price and whatnot. She wasn't starting cause I wasn't getting a spark and the starter spring and what not.

New intake mani? You should pick up a Skunk2 or Blox intake manifold... unless you just go and pick up a stock one from a junk yard. Aftermarket intake manifold would be nice though, get a throttle body right away, set you up for some future mods.
