Color combo with the BBK looks awesome. I'm digging the airbrush work too. I agree with Toby's comments.

Looks great till i saw the hood. Love the art work on it, typically not much into art work on cars, but its .... ******* cool. But the rest of the hood in bare carbon just kills it, maybe if you had a black car, but the red car with the mismatched hood just screams CIVIC to me.

Thank you. I love the CS-Rs, but have been thinking about posting them up for trade and see what else I might get.

The exhaust seems to be a sore spot for a lot of people. I personally have always liked the look of the dual canisters, and it sounds so awesome! If it wasn't for the sound, I'd probably consider changing it.

i suggest
-06+ bumper
-06+ headlights
-different style exhaust
I'm starting to look at the next round of upgrades, so that'll probably take care of the bumper. Not sure what I'll go with yet, most likely a full bumper, but it won't be OEM. I really don't care about headlights, so it's doubtful I'll ever do that unless someone just wants to trade me for some reason.

I think its the design of the canisters that kills it for me.. HKS or Greddy TI or something along those lines I think would work on the car better.

is that vinyl or airbrush for the art work?? Its really good!

Normally I'm not too crazy about hood with graphic but in your case it looks really good. Unique.

Aww man I'm jealous! What plans do you have for it?

It's airbrushed. A local guy here in Boise did it. Took him about 2 weeks in his free time. He'd send me pics of the progress every couple days and I'd tell him what to keep and what to change.

Nah. I have a company car (09 Rav-4) that I drive usually, and in the summer I cruise around on my Ruckus most of the time. But I do drive it quite a bit, when the weather's nice.

The wheels themselves are 19x9 +15 F, 19x10 +15 R

I'm also running 15mm spacers all around, for a total offset of +0 all around.

Your parts are obviously high quality but I think you have too many colors there. Why not polished or red calipers behind the blue wheels? Red, blue, and yellow is just too many imo. Still nice parts and a nice car. The airbrush is pretty sweet!
