4th gen ftmfw. Needs a console pocket so the USB cord doesn't have to just sit there on the floor. I f***ing love mine and they aren't very hard to find. Looks good, wish I had the JDM front end. :thumbs up

Sorry for the wait, international shipping takes a while sometimes haha. EDM LHD optional lower console came today. =) Should have a few more things by the end of the week, and the rest by the 5th.

I think they're supposed to be mounted a little higher.

OEM JDM fenders, i didnt cut them. And not all model civics are the same spot, EK is different than EF. I did however mess up on the wiring, the diagram i went off of was labeled wrong and i didnt realize til i turned my headlights on and the side markers came on (USDM spec). But ill just leave them like that.

There probably wont be many updates from here to about september. I work at a high school so i dont work in the summer. Gonna try to atleast get the JDM side moldings if i have a little bit of extra money (and a Js racing replica front lip if possible), that way i can get her in the paint booth soon. I compiled my parts list for the full motor build and im gonna start ordering everything when i go back to work. Shooting for about 220-240 whp all motor with 9k+ rpm capability. It is my everyday car so im gonna run as quiet of an exhaust as i can with an electric cut out to try to stay pretty lowkey.

Well, like i said, dont really know when the next update will be, but take care until then :flush:
