The lips arent going anywhere ESPECIALLY not to be replaced by HFP which is played out. I am going for the Mugen look so why would I abandon that? The stickers? I've been toying with the idea of taking a few of them off since the car has turned away from being all track to being more show. I've gone down a road less travelled with this car because I don't want to look like every other car I see on the street or on this forum, so yeah some of you will hate it just like i hate the HFP kit or lame body kits. So for those of you that give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism positive OR negative, thanks. This is a work in progress just like most of your cars. Remember I'm building MY car not your car.

no offense bro, but all im saying is that you seem to have a very clean and proper ride, but just ask anyone here, that front lip is really taking away from that clean look, i love your car but im just giving you advice on the ebay front lip, it doesnt flow with all the beautiful hard work youve done, jmo take it or leave it, i love what youve done with the car so far tho.

here is a pic of my car, im not gonna list the mods, but the overall theme is stock and very clean as ive been told countless times, clean means well put together with no one area being overdone, you know what im saying.

your car is clean but you will never win a trophy at a show and Ive seen your car twice today. that is MY point. I looked indentical to your car for a while but it wasn't getting any respect. I'm not dissing you or your taste. but you will never win by being "safe" and not stepping outside the box. Turbo_SI's car is another example. I absolutely hate his car, BUT I respect him for doing what nobody else is.

as for ebay, I didnt get my lip from ebay. but I got my Type R valve cover from ebay so whats that mean? that statement is retarded.

And I'm not trying to "TOP" anything except the podium at the show. When you can come take that from me then talk otherwise Id shut the **** up. People with mouths like your's are what deter people from doing things. grow up.

bro, dont get upset, i congratulated you on a job well done, im merely saying that the lip isnt worthy of how the nice the rest of the car was put together, i enter in shows, but i go up against cars that have way more stuff than i due, like for example im keeping my interior simple, shift knob and boot, s2000 push start, red h steering wheel, console badge, and thats it i think, but a car that is slightly modified still wins prizes you know even pretty stock cars that are cleaned really well lol, but i enjoy seeing cars with mods especially yours, but its just an opinionative sort of constructive critc, thats all, all that stuff you said towards me is water under the bridge, but when poeple gave a little advice i wouldnt take it for granted. and btw i the first place i saw your front lip was on ebay, so if you got it somewhere else i didnt know, i thought ebay was the only place to get it, i was actually looking at the lip but then i see it on other si's and i just dont like how it flows with the design of the car.

sorry if you took it that way but its not what i meant.

Your car is the only one I've seen that can pull off that wing.

Thank you for the constructive criticism.

sorry if we got our waves crossed Ridge Racer. I see what you and some others mean by the front lip not flowing but just wait til the sides go on. I know you dont see it but give it a chance.

Amen! I know there are more people like this out there. The HFP kit is just something to talk about that you have 'done to your car.' I hate it when people do things just to do something. I love your car, its very well done.

Well not really, without the HFP or any lip kit, the civic looks like a neon...

I love the idea of being different from others. I'm the same way. BTW, where did you get your rear lip?
