I thought what you were doing was looking good. Ebay foglights are no good though. Nothing wrong with painting your brakes or getting an intake.

I know ebay is cheap guys.. I learned this from the very beginning when I first wanted exhaust. Tired to buy a cat-back plus cat and headers on ebay for $180 and they didn't even fit my car... I know ebay is cheap and easy I only bought my lip and fogs there because I don't think they're such a important part. I will never buy performance parts off there.. Just parts that aren't that big
Thanks. Getting coil-overs in January
i say FCK wat everyone else is saying, do you. its your car and for the guy trynna make his car look like a EM1 thats BS your gonna look like every other person atleast hes trynna stand out someway or another, i personally like the strut bar it gives it a flare and i love how the valve cover came out. Goodluck with the build.

"stand out"? what has he done that hasn't been done 50,000 times already? If he continues with the current trend his civic WILL be just like every other civic. Next up, projector headlights....
I keep my em1 mostly stock because I can't afford legit parts right now and I still love my car, get compliments all the time (mostly from non-car enthusiasts lol!) and have fun tinkering with stuff. Its just not worth it to get ebay parts, save until you can get good quality parts or just look for good deals if you are wanting to save money. But that being said, I like what you have done so far, theres nothing wrong with sticker bombing, painting your calipers, etc, its just that some people have to be up to date and super cool all the time, so thats why you get the comments you are getting...
you poor, poor child. i will not look like every other a*****e out there because every other a*****e is
doing this exact fanboy bullsh*t, so in a way, yes, i will stand out.
thank you../thread
UPDATE:
Got my fogs in no problem, installed progress cs ii's, but both front strut have a defect i guess and are already blown after a week... but getting this taken care of very soon. Painted my lip with black paint made for plastic.
Thinking about lowering the back a little bit so there's no wheel gap but idk
Not sure how long that front lips gonna last keep scraping it on stuff haha
