    I think you should post a picture of your car first.

    I agree.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    Copy cat!! I agree that you should post a picture first. Secondly, if putting the kit on will make your car fast, do it. Have fun and good luck.

    Not everyone is after speed, sometimes it's nice to just cruise around and look real hot. Like me, sometimes I even take my car with me

    There are a few mods you're gonna need to do. You'll have to cut out a section underneath the headlights so they can retract. You'll also need to make a couple brackets to permanently fix it to the bumper. I never put it on there for good so i just had it held on there with zipties, but that was hella ghetto and i only did that to see how it would look with it on.

    Yeah, thats why people make fun of Hondas. If your gonna do that, put it on, then make it fit right, then paint it, and until it fits right and is the same color, then pull your car out of the garage, but until its done and finished, keep it away from the public...

    Seriously, its ghetto to have a kit like that just hangin on until you find time to finish it.

    You have the front kit piece, now finsih it with a 00 civic si front end conversion...

    when that picture was taking, that was just a test fitting and wasnt even on there. When it goes on again, it will be fitted and painted and will look pretty good. A Civic front end conversion would look retarded.............

    That shit will be hot if he is planning on trimming the part near the fender that sticks out, or putting some flares on there to blend it. I like it a lot except for that one jagged edge.

    I still havent decided on if i'm gonna put that kit back on or not. The part that sticks out is no big deal and will flow perfectly if its installed correctly. The only problem i see is right under the corner signal. The corner light sticks out a little further then the bumper does. I guess a little bit of fiberglass will work, but i'm not sure how well fiberglass bonds to Poly.

    I'm thinking about either that one, or the 4G WW Bigmouth kit.

    That front bumper will look nice, but I like Hostilejava's more than anyother.
