I'm on cheap ass arospeed coil sleeves with bilstein shocks in the rear and gabriels in the front. im planning on switching to either form and functions or skunk2's in the future.

i have a set of ssr superfins that im saving up to redrill,

 

[zachkelly]

future plans are legit! rims will give it a totally different look for sure

Why is your grille black?

 

[tCtCtC]

The paint was peeling and fading, so I just sanded it all off. I want to get it repainted again soon.

Thanks guys! It really makes me feel better hearing good criticism from other Civic owners. I was playing around with the idea of a badgeless grille, and came up with this:

I'm shopping around for a grille right now, but I'm a little confused. Which of these two has better fitment?

It seems like the first one does from the posts I've seen, but I can't find a thread that confirms for sure. Any input is appreciated!

Wow dude, that's super clean. I'm really liking the black and silver theme you have going on (especially with the grille and lip). Those wheels look great too. Awesome work!

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

On a side note, I just got my material for the DIY grille, so I'll have pics of that soon. I'm also planning on doing my own DIY write-up on it, so watch out for that too.
