upgrade the brakes? i think you could get some mag coverage from what youve done.

car is about 220hp, 135tq, its all in the head, ill get a valve cover gasket soon, i got laid off work, so im doing what I can with what I have... and the hood,,, I get way to much attention from that hood to take it off... i honestly think your the first perrson that actually said something negative about it..

You got your car tuned and dyno'd? Proof of 220hp?

Black head lights, a hood with stickers like a 14 year olds skateboard, and silicone in the valve cover? No where near man..



Car could look a lot cleaner though. I really like your exhaust/rear subframe set up.

Yes, I had it dump'd. And if you want to get technical about it. It was 219.8. At the wheels. And personally I don't give a s**t what you think about the hood. I like it, its different. And anywhere I go, people have good things to say about it. If everybody wanted to go for the clean look, then what would cause people to be different?? I Do what I do so I don't blend in with everybody.

Thats sweeet!!! Pics of the sheet?? Not a bad number. My friend hit 212whp with a stock ITR w/ i/e and no cat w/ a p28 and about 7 pulls on a dyno.

.

have you seen hondatuning lately? last time i saw it they had a red eg hatch with 4 diffrent colors in the bay, "jdm" ebay headlights, and hellaflush bbs wheels.


im not tryin to be an ass by sayin that but i would choose his coupe over some of the cars in those mags. his car has character.

seibon. or vis. think seibon hoods are just a carbon overlay over a hood shell if that makes since. use to be all cf but they changed it

 

[00_jdm_em1]

vis is the same way, my buddy just bought one.. they seem like there both good brands, but I can get a seibon $50 cheaper than a vis...

 

[mportedcivicsi]

Always heard good things on both...I have had 2 VIS hoods and liked them both

 

[00_jdm_em1]

well guys, I ordered my SEIBON hood from weksos, as well as a hamp filter, also ordered the front bumper caps (for the license plate botls), the ctr gauge bezel(carbon fiber), and some 3m carbon fiber wrap for my fuel door,,, we'll see how that turns out, and ive also decided to strip the wheels and polish them back out, completely getting rid of the gold... im sure the hood will take the longest to get in, but I will update with pics as parts come in and go on the car... I guess im on a carbon fiber kick now since I ran out of other ideas on the car...

 

[mportedcivicsi]

Sounds good man...just not sure about that gas door...

 

[00_jdm_em1]

ya, i got the door done, dont think I like it very well, Ill take a pic of it and post it later...

 

[00_jdm_em1]

ok, im not sure if I like the wheels polioshed, I need opinions people.. what color should I spray them?? I want to keep the polished lip, opinions needed desperately... I cant figure it out...

 

[OTiS133]

some kind of dark green, or indigo ink pearl?

 

[WalkingComplex]

I say black with a polished lip. would look sick on a FBP EM1

 

[00_jdm_em1]

what do you guys think about an anodized purple for the wheels with a polished lip??? I got my c/f hood on and the gold looks like s**t...

 

[WalkingComplex]

im anti-purple and pink but if you think it looks good, go for it.

 

[SurgeSi]

im all for purple on black!
i had purple lugs and tow hook on my civic and loved the color combo
do IT!
