Honestly if you move the plate over to the side it throws off the whole symmetry of a car.... Kinda makes it lop sided and odd looking.... :what:

Definitely gotta get that bumper painted.... :thumbs up

Car looks alright. Hood and bumper might need some work though.

yeah, bumper just needs some new paint, but the hood is bent a little near the driver side, and has several little dings in it all over. not sure if i'll get a CF hood and paint it or just find a stock replacement, idk yet.


thanks for the comments everybody. glad you pulled me away from the off-center license plate. ;)

another hint, dont buy a cf hood and paint it...
there's just... absolutely no reason to do this on a civic....

i mean..... maybe if you have $500 that you were going to light on fire... no... no not even then...

lol. just depends on the price. if a stock hood is too expensive, i may just opt for a CF hood. probably leave it as plain CF at first, but if it doesn't flow right with the car, then i can always paint it.

or sell it, buy an oem hood, get it painted, and pocket $200+ in cash.

and by doing this you'd save the life of a cf hood..... please... think of the hood :lol:

just go to the junkyard and find a another hood.
Don't paint the CF hood. It's a big waste.

is it necessary to have the plate on? anyway at least your cars gonna look a lot better after you repaint it and get the lip.

yeah, i have to have the front plate on by law. friend of mine from work got a ticket for $145 in a local town for having his plate up in his window. i'm not going to take that risk.

but yeah, it looks much better back in the stock location.

WTF? why would you do that???

read the posts guys, its back in the stock location. a friend of mine was making them and selling the, so i thought i'd help him out by buying one and trying it. obviously i didn't like the look, and its back to the stock location.
