needs moar underglow and a nickelodeon sticker, fantastic job on the paint but not diggin the bumpers, the purple, or the wing. if the purple was gloss black on the skirts with oem front/rear bumpers with mugen lip kit it would look a lot better imho

I don't think you need to go all mugen or try and look like every other civic out there, heck I'm a guy who practically gave away his CF hood and CF duckbill for a stock hood and SiR long LED spoiler just because all the EG's in my circle were starting to look to much like mine but your body kit looks like every civic from the fast and bi-curious. I get the need to look different but this...
As for the y7, I don't know who you auto x with or where but you ever tried that thing in a straight line? on a real track with out cones for corners? So you rule parking lots, WOW! the y7 is a decent little motor, heck till my motors done I'm only running a d15b vtec w/bolt-ons but your car screams "hey look at me! I'm a rocket speed demon! wanna race? wanna race?" basically when people say all show and no go, this is exactly what they mean.
^^of course he doesn't wanna go lower, not only would that make him look like every other civic out there, could you imagine what it would be like if he scraped that cow scoop bumper of a harsh speed bump?
if you wanna be that different, why start with a civic? civic's are like tampons. eventually every pu$$y will have one. cars like yours are why domestics all thing civics are slow ricers, thanks!

driving a civic makes you look like every other honda civic out there by definition, i was just suggesting what would look good on your hatch... it would make it look cleaner but just my opinion, take it or leave it. i was joking with the underglow but the nickelodeon sticker would show you have a sense of humour... either that or leave it as-is and put a giant wind-up on the top

I saw this pile of rice chilling on the side of the road with fs sign.
I remember looking at pics and it made me sick...seeing it in person, my buddy and I laughed for a long while after seeing it. Thx for entertainment

What's up with all the hating?
While I'm not a fan of the paint colour and body kit, for what it is, it came out pretty good. It could have been a lot 'worse'...but that's a matter of perception which people are confusing with fact.
I guess I can appreciate it more because I love any colour of paint, as long as it's glossy
Good job to the OP on this project.

You ruin a car by:
- Adding rice headlights/tailights
- Ridiculous paint job schemes
- Over sized rims
You do NOT ruin a car by swapping an engine. In fact, you make it better/faster. Now you do all these flashy "mods" and the car just gets slower due to the size of the rims. So you achieve nothing but "bling" or the f&f look.

and whats the point of going faster if you can't use it, the cars i drive are daily drivers not a full out race car. and like i said before i can put my car back to 100% STOCK you can't, and i'm not putting $1000-3000 into a motor i can't show off there no point.

I think making the car look stock with that paint would be quite difficult.
Hell, I'm not saying street race but having more torque than the gutless k20 you got in ep3 or even the y7 in the hatch which is even bigger fail defeats the purpose of modding a car. If you can't make it up a hill in a higher gear its sad. More usable power is always good. Now this thing screams "I'm fast" and possibly furious, yet my mom with a shopping cart is quicker.
