Young_'s 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe Build!

Lookin good man! My EK is a mess right now. I just bought a headliner, need to clean/possibly reupholster that, need to get ahold of a new sunroof sliding shade cover, then sand, grind out mild rust spots, prep for paint, and start getting ready for a K-swap! I got jipped bad though.. paid 3k for mine, with a salvage title, horrible paint, beat up interior. Gotta love Southern California... 
Just replaced both of my window motors.. trunk isn't leaking, but doesn't line up quite right.
My teg's hatch leaked as well :/
Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! Si grill is scheduled to be here tuesday, and the replacement bulb and ballast has shipped as well. Excited to get the HID's back. I loved the way they looked on my car. Gonna get an ebay header next paycheck because my current manifold is cracked very badly and I need a quick replacement. Justin (Emerican) and I are planning to tackle the o2 sensor and the oil pan gasket here soon. So mad props to him for offering up the help! After those are taken care of I'm going to start buying stuff for the tranny. (used tranny, rebuild kit, clutch kit, lightweight flywheel, etc). I'll also be snagging some interior parts here and there to keep me preoccupied while I piece together the transmission. Gonna try and pick up some si rear seats, and maybe some bride replicas in the future. For now I know my door panels need to be replaced so I'll start there.

Got the replacement ballast yesterday but I was sick so I installed it today. So I'm back to HID's! 
they're so much brighter than my traditional halogens.
Si grill will be here Tuesday.
Fixing to take my fiancé to her graduation party. Spending time with her family for memorial day as well.
Anyone have suggestions on an affordable, yet reliable exhaust system? Like brand names? I'm looking for something with a low mellow tone, no fart cans. Don't want to spend more than 400.

Nah I bought an ebay exhaust for my 1995 civic ex and it sounded nice but the midpipe hanged WAYY too low, and the tip on the muffler touched my bumper. No telling how long it would have stayed sounding that nice either. I also had an ebay exhaust on my del sol (it was on the car when I bought it) and the fitment sucked on it as well, it actually melted the bumper, and it was loud and raspy. I'm definitely going name brand with this set-up.
Yeah, ill be going with yonaka on my car
The only thing that worries me with yonaka is the resonators. And I'm not particularly fond of the muffler tip, where it sticks out further at the top than the bottom. But that's just me being extremely picky lol

you can tuck it under more than mine is and ive only heard of 2 people on here 1 is me with problems with the resantors and thats because we both scrapped the s**t out of them. If you look under mine and see how much abuse its took then youd understand why it rattles a little bit lol.
Lol I feel ya. I'd have to look into it some more.
