Since you're having parts color matched, what about getting the lower rocker cover color matched as well?
Which spoiler do you have, the lower or taller one?
Looking for 96-00 OEM dark grey floor mats.

I'm getting the grill, side skirts (rocker covers), front lip, and rear lip all painted. Might get the bumpers done too b/c they could use it. I'm just not ready to paint the whole car just yet b/c It's my commuter. It didn't come with a spoiler so I was looking for the optional tall spoiler or the one typically found on the SI. I just got the windows tinted on both my cars. Got 4 new tires for the SI wheels and my teins should be here today. I had a leak at the shift rod seal and swapped that out. I still need to do the oil pan gasket. The next part(s) i'm looking for is a rear sway bar. Seems like we need to use a stiffer plate on the rear subframe in order to put anything beefy under there. Fortunately I do have the front sway bar bit not the SI type. I was also surprised to find that the EX models didn't come with 4 wheel disc brake like the 92-95 and 88-91 civic did. I def. want rear disc. I was hoping it's a matter of swapping DC2, EG (civic or del sol) trailing arms and using SI e brake cable. Wasn't too bad on my CRX back in the day. Seems like finding SI rear trailing arms is sort of hard to find.
Not all 88-95 Civics' came with rear disc either.I was also surprised to find that the EX models didn't come with 4 wheel disc brake like the 92-95 and 88-91 civic did. I def. want rear disc.

90-91 Crx Si was the only one to come with rear disc.
92-95 Civic, rear disc was an option.
Only the EM1 (99-00) Si had rear disc.
The conversion it easy...one of many how to's.

Right I know not all the civics came with them but all of the EX models typically have disc especially on the sedan. And yes only the SI crx came with them but they were not as hard to find as an EM1 and the 90-93 was a direct bolt up so long as you have the correct si e brake cable.
If it's no different than those swaps I'll just go pull the parts from the junk yard. The first how to in read made it seem complicated. I'll take a look at the link you provided. Like I said, I've been building these cars for a long time but used to ef/dc2/eg models. I'm finding little differences. I just assumed the EK was similar to the eg/DC and some things are and some are not.
Thanks for the help.
