I love it man!
Looks awesome!
how was the overspray on the car?
I had my Rx7 painted by them, it looked pretty good, but, they didn't wet sand it, so it had a lot of orange peel.
Is yours pretty shiny?
since the clear was integrated, I couldn't wet sand it :(

They did a good job with the luster of it its nice and shiny everywhere but I did have some problems with oversyray, all the windows were fine but they got some on my 5zigen muffler, right headlight, and rearview mirrors. But its was minor and I fixed it in like 10 minutes with some paint thinner. They got the muffler pretty white though, they didnt pay any atention to masking that so I made them clean that before I payed them. its polished metal so the paint would come right off but it was so bad I had to say something at least so that they dont do it to the next person.

yeah i'm feeling you man I personally like the body kit and think it looks good, as well as a JDM lip, I actually have my stock bumpers painted with lips in the garage and i swap when i got auto crossing for more ground clearance. But most of the people on this board have been cool about stating their opinion. If they like it cool and if they dont they are still cool cuz they dont flame me for it they just state their opinion, which is what this board is all about. So if you like it tell me if not TELL ME and give suggestions. constructive feedback is always good. yeah body kits and JDM alike are I'm going to say popular but not played out. There just building blocks to sick ass rides that are UNIQUE to all the other boring cars on the road. You cant please everyone so build your car to YOUR tastes. I have nothing against ANY car on this forum cuz we're all in the same boat, all part of the Honda car culture, i find somthing to appreciate and all your guys's cars.

I would like to see your ride with your stock front bumper and the lip! =)
I like the kit a lot, back in the day i was going to do the same kit for my EJ1, cuz I loved the sides and especially the rear bumper, but the only prob I had was getting over how big the front bumper looked and how it seems to curve upward.

ps, autocross kicks ass!
no probs with the puny civic radiator and overheating issues with the b18?
