Not much of an update, but I did happen to get my nitrous bottle mounted. Please dont mind the trunk. Its a work in progress. I plan on removing the rest of the sound deadener and spatter painting the entire trunk. I really want to clean it up and maybe add an X bar. I also plan on putting the battery back here as well. Here is the mounted bottle:

OMG I have never seen this thread!! AMAZING!!! Dude that is sooooo sick! I love your car!!! I can't wait to get mine going and looking like yours =)

The intake horn I am so so on, usually I HATE them but on your car it almost fits well hmmmm

I love the front lip, the engine is just se*

Mine is like yours though, just time and more time....

There was a guy on here that asked about the floor, I just did mine and it was easy, scrub it, dry, then paint, make sure you have plenty of flake for it (I ran out) and make sure to use a mask... I am not kidding about the mask, Epoxy is a MO fo! It screwed my sinuses up for days, like migraines afterwords OMG... And you can get the kit at Home Depot or Lowes for about 200 for everything, which 2 kits will do a 2 car garage!

Sorry to thread jack on that didn't mean too!

Dude your dad's car is simply amazing!!!

Thanks man for the feedback. Yeah, the ram air horn is kinda temporary until I can gather everything to make a better one...one that doesnt look like a train horn. lol I would like to build one so that it doesnt grab so much attention.

As for the trunk, Im going with the trunk paint from Eastwood. I think I will get the grey with white speckles. My dad did the trunk of his camaro and it looks REALLY good.

Do you have a build thread? Id like to see if you do.

I do! I built my car a while ago and well it was kinda Ricey... The reason I liked it was because it was clean IMO everyone had body kits that weren't painted, doofy wings that didn't fit... Wheels that were WAY to big... Well some people said the same about mine... but at the time everything fit well... However now I am going a totally new direction =) I am going clean and more of a JDM Look.... So here is the build.... Slow due to funds but going to be insane when it is done!

Yeah, but I believe that is for the 99-00 civics. Im trying to make one that fits perfect for the 96-98. They dont look bad, I just want something a little different.
Oh s**t my bad! I totally forgot yours is 96-98.
But anyways, your current looks fine and intimidating.

haha yeah!! Intimidating enough to get my butt handed to me by a stock B series!! Yeah, it did help out the 1/8th mile time but I just have to get it right.

I did do another temporary mock up of the ram air tonight. I re routed the piping and used another scoop I had. This time it is behind the upper front grille. It still works, but its not what I want. I'll definately have to post pics when I fianally get what I want.

I just received my brand new OEM Honda front bumper and OEM Honda Access Sir front lip. I will try to have pics us soon. Thanks to ICB for the lip and hardware. Visit them @ jdmland.com.

I thought Id share what it is now and what it will be.
PS this bumper is FOR SALE:


NOT my car. What it will be:

Here are pics of the new bumper, lip, and hardware. All of this is OEM Honda. Dont mind the sucky pictures and I dont have the lip tightened down all the way. I wont be putting the velocity stack or the license plate back on the front. If anyone needs it, Ive posted the Honda part number for the bumper.
