IMO I think bronze would look better than White, but I also think tht a nice set of hyper black or graphite colored rims would look way better.

CF Trunk
1. yes
2. no

Yes, you already have the hood so why not tie the trunk in with the front of the car. Makes it look more complete and finished.


taillight conversions
1. yes (if so can you give me a suggestion...)
2.no
See picture below for tails, get them painted to match ur car and if you go with the CF trunk leave the inner part of the tails out and mount some white LEDS on ur liscence plate for reverse lights.

Not big fan of the HUGE dash mounted tachs out there these days, it would be sweet if u could integrate one into u rstock gauge cluster though. Think about tach mounted where the stock speedo is and then dakota digital speedo gauge.

Are you set on AEM or would you consider a wilwood big brake kit?

AEM brakes suck... look into KVR calipers and an ITR master cylinder

tail light conversions are all quite nasty, your headlights are nice

there is one tach that you need, and the factory put it there

cf trunks are sexy, I seen a couple, they are quite the ****!

man, Steve if you get that Willwood brake kit, ill be the most Jelous TCC member here I love willwood stuff, best brakeing system money can buy IMO.. The Calipers look so sick too... I think the new civic kits are over 2 grand tho..

2 peice Rotors, 6 or 8 piston Calipers stainless lines Its total over kill for the streets, but your into shows so it would be worth it... That kit would own at a show, cuz not many people have it yet, the kit was just released last year... Get it, and then you have to let me Install it

As fo the Tach, you should get one, but have it custom mounted.. in the 6thgen they look sick flush mounted where the left hand vent would be beside the steering wheel... kinda like this




I think tachs look good if they are made to look like they were kinda ment to be there... Mines up on the dash, just cuz I have no time to or skills to do that.. but I do need it..


Then Black rims amd CF hood looks pretty good on red.. Personally Im not a huge fan of the trunk (but looks good if done right), it would look good with black rims.. You should play around with photoshop...

Im not big into the tail light conversions.. Ilike OEM.. Pluse if u do go with the CF trunk then your options for it are limited...

White rims
Go for the c/f trunk (i want the hatch)
Leave the taillights as they are. Maybe some JDM ones
TACH'S ARE FACKING GHEY ! You already have one, why do you need a bigger TV style one?
AEM Brakes: I like big brake kits, I think they look sexy but I guess you gotta ask people which ones are better etc. cuz I dont know abuot that.

well thats stupid, how can it show your creativity when your molding it to what others like?

for brakes I'd suggest the stock ones with hawk HP+ or hawk blue brake pads really strong stuff...

then again OEM parts don't win car shows...

-Black/graphite rims (konig Holes?)
-CF trunk yes
-No conversions cause most look wrong (jdm or cf euros)
-Stock Tach
-wilwood brakes
