Nope. The OEM sumitomo wires have proven to be BETTER than pretty much anything on the market. Smoother and marginally higher powerband.
Ebay? The Honda dealer? Google?
OEM honda wires are not too difficult to find.
An OEM tuneup kit is about ~$80 on ebay, plenty of great dealers on there. Might as well do the whole tuneup.

:time and time again, over the years, tests have proven that you really cannot beat OEM Sumitomo wires.
They are cheap and out perform anything under $200
Of course you're all running just fine with X wires.
I'm simply stating that I've seen numerous Dyno charts over the years using new NGK, MSD, etc, and every time the 10 year old sumitomos did BETTER than the new performance wires.

Ebay is perfectly trustworthy, just buy from a reputable dealer. I've bought hundreds of items on ebay and never had a problem. Just don't buy from sellers with bad ratings.
I've ordered from Honda of Lemon Grove probably 6 times. They're perfectly trust-worthy:

Any proof or are we supposed to just trust some random guy on the net?
Porsche and Audi run NGK stock in all of their high end vehicles so they will do just fine for your Civic.
You are not mistaken that there is nothing wrong with NGK, however Sumitomos have just proven to be the best thing out there period.
Here you go, the green line is the OEM Sumitomo:

in conclusion: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC is 100000000000 times > NGK, nology, magnecor, etc...even > honda motor co.
@OP: Regarding the grill, find a nice local auto body shop to paint the trim. Remove the screws that hold the trim piece and just ask them to paint it with the proper paint code for taffeta. (Taffeta White NH-578)
You'll be a lot happier with a professional job. Buying the automotive paint and clear coat would run you around $60, that's what it cost me a few years ago. A shop should only charge you ~$50-80 and they'll probably do a lot better job than you will.
Thinks for the advice..where i live there is a local paint shop that will mix the paint and put it in a spray can for u for around 20-30 bucks. thats what the guy at autozone told me. so im going to go there first and see if its legit. btw i need some opinions..im thinking of gettting some Drag DR-31 wheels( the ones that look like type r's) they come out to like 100 bucks a wheel but thats alot cheaper then buying Enkein racing Pro1's but i want good wheels not some bulls*** wheels.
Good wheels cost money. I had Konigs and Rotas before I bought my Volks, and I can tell you right now that I would spend $1400 on a set of Volks again in a heartbeat before I bought another set of knock-offs.
They are worth every damned penny of the extra money.
Not saying you need to spend that kind of money, but just buy some quality wheel. Find a good set of used SSRs, Volks, or something.
