96 hatch project ls swapped

[96romaCX]

X2^

I would get a real one though and a 2nd front bumper and swap it out for shows. Or if you just don't care then rock what you got and not worry about it.

I may get a ViS wing and call it a day.

How much did you actually pay for bumpers and shipping?

 

[I_GOT_BOOST]

yeah i know.......i might buy a real one later on down the road.......i got the bumpers for 500 i think thats fair compared to the price on pwjdm

 

[96romaCX]

Nice

 

[I_GOT_BOOST]

Exact numbers were 500 for bumpers or best offer butt I didn't want to risk not getting them so I just pressed buy it now and the shipping was 175


Using the tapa ya tap tap..... Tap

ok so i also purchased a carbon fiber rear trunk cover( the one thats directly behind the rear seats) and a oem hood bra


i plan on getting some carbon fiber mirrors and a spoon rep carbon fiber wing.....still debating on whether i want to put the midwing on it????........also want the grill with the h emblem on it.......all white headlights....................do you guys think i should leave the fogs on it once i put the SIR bumpers.....i really like it with the fogs but honestly i dont want to cut the bumpers

I only like 99-00 fog light. I won't be putting fogs on my car.

i like those fogs too but cant use the on the 96-98 bumpers so i think ill just keep them because the previous owner put them in correctly with the oem fog button in the car also

 

[SiR.Huey]

do it! keep the fogs! Can't wait for you to start throwing things together.

I'm sure whatever you decide will look great, I have a feeling your car will be a minty one.

thanks i hope so im just going crazy over here i want to purchase everything so its there once i get home....but my wife is not going to like parts just continously showing up....i will be home in about 3 months give or take so i think i can wait before ordering the rest of the parts.....also im starting to dig the kosei k1 wheels does anyone know if they are knock offs of any wheels or are they a original design by that company....because they have them on tire rack for 99 a rim.....heres some pics of them on a midori hatch i like how they look....opinions n more info if anyone knows anything about them....

They aren't knockoffs, but I think the older ones were manufactured in Japan and now they are made in Taiwan or somewhere else and supposedly aren't as strong. Thats just what I've heard don't take it as fact lol. But still good wheels, just not hardcore track wheels.

They are low cost because of the materials used and manufacturing process....and it's not as trendy which helps with cost. They are average wheels, not heavy, not light, not strong but not brittle either.

 

[Blayze2010]

Id say get them!

love the kanjo scene.......i was drawn to it because thats how my experience led me to hondas......i was driving home one night and had about 15-20 cars blow past me in and out of traffic...........................i followed these guys they all stopped at a gas station to get something to eat....i was in a 4 ddor acccord auto at that.............i instantly fell in love with this integra that was there....jdm front.......turbo ls vtec......i sold my accord the next week n bought a 94 ls milano red.............................i drove that thing into the ground,,...........eventually found myself at the street races and everything went down hill from there,......i street raced that car to hell and back blew the enginge several times...thats how i started to learn the mechanics behind how the engines were put together....breaking fixing and breaking some more....this was back in like 05-06.....since then i have gone to school for lexus worked at a dealership and a coiuple of shops........... literally owned more then 50 civics integras accords and one is300 that i blew to hell before i left in september for this deployment.......................i recently found out about the actuall kanjo style and racers....thanks to roma he told me about car craft boon..............i would like to build a kanjo car but since this car is going to be my daily i will just wait until i buy a house until then i will do small things to it that are kanjo inspired.....i think im finally done with hacking up and destroying cars...i found childs civic on youtube and it inspired me to do a car thats not fast but nice and can be respected.....which is something i have learned from him..................

^ kanjo is really Kool in my opinion as well, its what I based my build on and CHILD's hatch was one of the first I came across in my searches when I first got mine as well. His wont be slow for long tho!
I'm performance minded also and I want to build my own take on a "kanjo" style hatch I daily through the mountains in NC lol.
