Before you say anything... the rear wings are staying... so are the rims (although, I'm going to paint the spokes the body color, and polish the lip)... Also, an OEM style front lip should be at my door by Friday.

Hoooray for OEM! Way to clean it up. I like it. 'Cept the rear lower spoiler. The top one is coo though.

A wonderful quote you should live by when it comes to your car is.... "The only thing that makes a car unique is it's driver/pilot"

Here's the real JDM for ya!

But I had thought about keeping the kit, when I first got the car... but I got tired of all the rattles, and dirt collecting that all the extra body collected... now, no more rattles, nicer over all shape... nothing wrong.

And the mud flaps do come in handy, because I live down a dirt road.... Paint chips from tires throwing rocks suck!

Nice hatch, Killa_CiViC...

Killa_Civic, have you posted on customcivics.com? I remember seeing your hatch there. It's been a couple years though.. I could be wrong.

OEM has been around for a few years now.. JDM is the new trend.

Nope, never posted there before.... and I only picked this civic up about 3 months ago.... she's come along way in 3 months though

IMO, everything went better together before. But, take off the lower rear wing if ur going with the "almost" stock look. simply does not fit.

"Almost" stock is just the way I want it... I like the lower wing... once I get my new lower lip on, my car will look exactly how I want to keep it, and then my concentration will be completely on engine modifications. Well, almost completely... Next thing on my "to do" list is rear disk brake swap.

Before was better lookin imo.

Buy a beater car (just somethin cheap) to do all ur dirty work, then civic (with kit put back on) as your cruiser. But if you are keeping it oem style, might want to look into loosing the midwing.

In my opinion, there's no point in having a car that I can't drive and enjoy all the time... I don't want a seperate car to 'cruise' in, and one to 'drive' in 8) ............ besides that, I absolutely have NO desire to drive ANY other car, now that I have my hatch.... I absolutely LOVE my hatch, and intend to keep it until I can't drive anymore! (and it's still going to have the lower wing)

The midwing is killing my eyes...

looked better with the BC rear
