you're missing the two overhead bulbs in your cluster. that's why it's so dark.

I took those out a while ago to try and get the bulbs to illuminate better. I tried putting bulbs back in but they seem to be smaller than a #74 bulb.

Yea man I'm definitely going to try the white on red look. I get my coilovers and lower control arm tomorrow so ill have pictures of that up and this friday I "WILL" be making another purchase for the car. I'm just not sure what yet. Up in the air on getting my Beaks tie bar and A-Spec Racing subframe or getting a JDM SiR front lip from JDMland.com

Okay I got my coilovers and lower control arms today. I'm really happy with my purchase so far. Everything was packages nicely and who doesn't love bubble wrap.

So I have been debating if I want to get a rear sway bar or not. I like to have handle more than anything. I'm kind of lost on the subject because I heard that you can't use some end links due to the F7 lca's being beefier than other brands. I also heard that the F7 end links are crap which I find surprising because when I think of F7 I think of their products being one of the best on the market. So I'm on the fence about it. This car is my DD and I want to be able to have fun with it on the weekends but be comfortable and functional for everyday driving.

if you don't have a front sway, you're just increasing the oversteer by adding a rear sway bar. You can damn near do a 360 when making a turn on stock suspension if you just keep turning the wheel, so in my opinion it didn't need to be increased unless a front bar is added so the two can work together. To each their own though and there are a ton of reasons to have one or to not have one. It depends on your use and driving style. Just like shock tower bars add rigidity, the sway bars affect the control more.

Here is a list if stock civic sway bars

1992-1995 Civic Dx: n/a/F - n/a/R(coupes didn't come w/sway bars)
1992-1995 Civic VX: 19mm/F(soild) - n/a/R
1992-1995 Civic EX: 21mm - n/a/R
1992-1995 Civic Si: 21mm/F - 13mm/R (4drs Ex sdn cars did too)
1994-1997 Del Sol DOHC: 24mm/R - 15mm/R
1996-2000 Civic HX: 22mm/F- n/a/R
1996-2000 Civic EX: 22mm/F - n/a/R
1999-2000 Civic Si: 26mm/ - 13mm/R(4drs sdn cars too)
1997-2000 Civic Type R: 26mm/F - 22mm/R

I know my car has a front sway bar and according to this list some other model have them to. Now my question is if I got a 24mm or 22mm would it give me dramatic oversteer. In theory if I already have a 22mm up front and I got say a 24mm in the rear they should work together and reduce body roll equally in all four comers of the car?

You're correct. They will balance each other and make the chassis less sloppy. The front sway reduces oversteer, so adding the back makes the car corner more flat
