I bought her bone stock a month ago so far I've added fnf type 1s, skunk2 camber kits, klutch sl1 15x8.5, Yokahoma 195/45/15 a password jdm dry carbon fiber intake, carbon fiber hood, Yonaka exhaust and a few other odds and ends. Glad to be here, kind of missed owning a civic, been driving Nissan for a while and it just doesn't do it for me like a Honda does, I live in Murfreesboro tn, but am originally from East Dallas, TX. The bumper is off for a fog light install

I haven't put the wheels on until I get my stance and camber right, they have a hell of a lip on them and I don't want to curb these wheels, there not cheap

Also anyone have experience with nrg racing type r replica seats? I got a pair and they seem alright but they have a lot of bad reviews, I don't expect them to be recaro quality but will they stand up or should I just sell them and get recaros after tax time?

Yea that's the same thread I read AFTER I ordered them, I was heard back in the day when I first wanted them they were legit and good but now I read there garbage, I didn't expect a whole lot for 177 bucks shipped a seat but if they didn't have that nrg logo visually there are very nice seats

I think I'll just rock them until tax time, just buy quality brackets, I like the buddy club rails and there race spec certified. Anyone can vouch for those rails? I know they work for the NRG seats and pretty sure they will work on some recaro or bride seats but I'd prefer recaro it'd match my daughters car seat lol

I wouldn't mind the more expensive nrg seats. I have cheap seats in my toy though. I'm sure you could go ahead and get you some pink seats though haha

If you need a super legit car seat that's gonna last there amazing, side impact protection at a affordable price man if any other civic owners have kids and want a good car seat I would recommend the hell out of these, my little girl loves her seat she says it's her racing seat in daddies race car, it's obviously no race car but she lives civics she tells her friends daddy lowered his car so she can get in easier lol

Buddy club rails are very good and have been used by tons of people for years. Can't go wrong with those. :thumbs up

And thanks everyone for the nice comments, it's been my favorite build so far and we're just getting warmed up also why are a majority of my pictures crooked? I sure didn't take them like that....
