Well here is a front shot, the eyelids are a temp right now, im planning to get a new front bumper because i just bought new JDM fog lights that will be installed, along with a new carbon fiber hood, i just figured to wait until after winter because im already tearing s**t up in the snow.


Now with the hood up, you can see the B16a2 swap with CTR Cams, Internals, CTR ECM, Full Exhaust etc.http://hincity.com/showroom/photoviewer.asp?id=1021781BPCBA01P874MVU39660&photoid=95325

I think you need to get some real CTR heads, the Type R lip for the 96-98, CTR side markers, most definitly get rid of the eyelids. 99-00 tails would look cleaner IMO. type r rear lip, type r mirrors.

you got a good start th0 man.

:werd: I had it on mine and I ain't never going back. I used to have the same tails too....I don't think I'll be going back to that either :D . the swap looks good though.

I was starting to wonder if I were the only one who thought that...

I do like the lip spoiler. Looks like it needs a detail though.

thats a 99-00 civic lip on a 96? if thats the case i dont think it looks that bad
No... it's a lip meant to LOOK like a '99-'00 lip, but made to fit a '96-'98. It's modeled after the '99-'00 Type R/Si lip and is called the '96-'98 Type R Style lip.

The bumpers curve diferently, so lips from different years don't fit without modification at least. Those aren't '99-'00 lips on '96-'98s, they just are made to look like them.

i initially didnt like the look of the 96-98 ctr lip, so i was then looking for an alternative like the ek4 sir or the 99-00 ctr lip modded for a 96-98 bumper. The true 96-98 ctr lip has grown on me now that i see the difference between both the lips and bumpers of the different years of ctrs. the 96-98 ctr lip is made so perfect to match that curves of the 96-98 front end. The lower grill of the 99-00 bumber is a lot smaller compared to the 96-98, so thats why the lines dont seem to match up when you see a 99-00 ctr lip on a 96-98 bumper, they werent designed to suit it. Not trying to diss your car's lip, this is just my opinion. But i just thought id comment on why it doesnt look right. Sometimes OEM is better. Designers put a lot of effort into making all the lines and curves come together.
Im currently trying get my hands on a 96-98 ctr lip!

I second that, I had a CF type R style on mine and got rid of it in favor of the 96-98 CTR lip, makes it loook 100000x better IMO but to each his own , i like it still

I guess he's thinking the B16A2 = Si conversion and "CTR Cams, Internals, CTR ECM, Full Exhaust etc." = CTR conversion.

Just like Eran's car is a 1.6EL, RSX, Integra LS, del Sol VTEC conversion.
