Painted Si's suck!
From the pictures it looks like they did a clean job on your car! How much did you pay?
The side skirts dont really flow with the OEM style'd car, but if you got a CTR spoiler, I think they will flow a bit better.
LOL We both f**ked up on the side markers. My driver side is 1" higher than its supposed to.
Your lip looks like its smiling, I had that same problem. Try lowering the mounting points in the corner .5-1.0". I did it on mine and it made it look much better.

Haha i knew something was off, thanks for the advice.
I just finished the body work so i did not have the chance to tweak everything yet.
My SI wheels were pretty messed up, i bought them for $20 a piece, so i figured why not powder coat them.
It costs about $75 a wheel with that color because it's a 2 step process, but i knew the guy
http://www.boneheadperformance.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc did the powder coating, they came out super clean and brake dust wipes right off.
Can you clarify the color for me? In some pictures they look like a dirty brown, in others they look like a darker silver.
Oh and raise the ends on your rear lip too, they are a bit off.
Why did you leave the CX spoiler on? It would have looked MUCH better with a painted DX, duck bill or CTR spoiler. Unless you like the low profile look of the CX haha.
ARgghh.. 2 more months and my EK's paint will look like yours. Comment my 99 hatch bro.

im diggin it for the most part, looks pretty nice. Dark Creep hit most points that needs a little tweak.
looks nice man 
overall looks real nice. good job!
however, im not a fan of the side skirts, but it doesnt look horrible. CTR spoiler would def set it off.
and i dont think your lip looks like its smiling. looks ok to me ?
