I just jumped into this thread but I really like where you are going with your mods. I would definitely paint the smiley face part of the grille blue, get the carbon hood, and CLEAR the headlights. Itll look sexy. Did you ever have plans to paint your lip or are you leaving it black? It kinda looks good if you do your hood and grille like everyone suggested. I have been wondering how a matte black lip would look on a PWP. Can't decide whether to buy the one off ebay for $100 and just leave it unpainted. Anyways keep up the work

I was thinking of painting it blue, but the plasti-dip looks really nice imo (Ill post more pics in the coming days) and ya im deff clearing the lights now to complete the front end. As far as the carbon fiber hood goes....of course i want it hahaha do i have the extra money to spend on it right now? NOPE hahaha so soon, cause its definitely in the cards. And nope, i like the Black and blue look so its going to stay like that....and i feel like it would look really good on a PWP, best of luck man and thanks for the kind words

Agreed on the language haha well i was looking at skunk2 or tanabe but they are 150-160 a muffler so i did some research on the civic forums and with other cars and they said that they really really liked the Megan racing N1 muffler, it was relatively quiet looked good and was stainless steel and good quality, and most importantly it didnt have that raspy noise....So i bought two of those, bitches

My dad and I have been looking into some turbos and talking to shops.....I am hopefully in the summer going to be doing either a rotrex supercharger, or a RDX turbo....I would prefer the turbo, but depending on pricing we will see....pictures of the mufflers and TBS when they come in

you cant just spray over the red i think. you gotta strip off the red, then apply the blue. and you need some engine paint or something, cause regular paint will melt(i think, ask someone who actually knows what they are talking about, not me) hahaha VBP <3

SHEESH! those Tiny bulbs light up like that? Thats insane, looks like an HID kit in them things. But you gotta pay to play. Thats a great investment to see behind you, But i think it may be too bright for the reverse camera. ?
