definitely nice to hear that you're thinking about changing the kit, the rest of the car though i like the rims, the paint, and the ride height (not to mention the debadged trunk). I'm not sure how I feel about the dual exhaust (mainly because it's not serving much purpose), but to each his own. overall though nice car (minus the kit)

Lovin the bottom color, and rims, but the dual exhaust and the body kit are a little

I actually don't hate the car though, it's not as bad as some of the CL's I've seen with body kits.

dual exhaust on I4=loss of hp, also defeating the purpose of swapping a h22 to get more power

yo thanks yall for your opinions, btw the top color is midnight blue, looks really black in the pics but up close has a nice blue pearl.. pin stripe is mercedes silver and the bottom is a candy blue, its really close to the new si civic blue.. i tried takin a close up of the paint but it didnt come out so good.. anyways i somewhat like the dual exhaust, rather have a single but what the heck i went with duals, i was worried about what it would sound like and ended up soundin soo perfect, smoooth deep tone.. so now that im pretty much satisfied with the exterior, its about time for the performace mods to kick in to action.. im debating on goin turbo or all motor.. any ideas??

i like it alot but i think your wheels are too small or your body kit just stikcs out too much or somethin, the color is one of my favorites, i just bought 200cc bike/ scooter yesterday thats that same color.. but overall its a head turner for sure.. and hey with all that lambos wouldnt look too bad if you got the money, sweet whip

the body kit is a little overkill in my opinion but the car looks sick as hell. i think you're on the right track with getting rid of the front bumper, maybe the side skirts too. other than that its great. feeling the paint job and the rims

absolutely love the color scheme. the kit actually doesnt look that bad, not as bad as ive seen on other cars, but still isnt my taste, esp those sideskirts. also painting your h22 head and your headlight housing would do wonders

Actually with your paint job it hides the horrible lines of the BW kit. Good job on the whip very original..I would swap out the mufflers for something less civic looking.

so what do you think is less civic looking? i was thinkin about greddy sp2 exhuast, i like that style and the tone with this exhuast.. i would consider this "less civic looking".
