OptionJDM is the place to go. Rich always helps me out with whatever I need. Bought lips, suspension and brake parts and also many other cosmetic things. Never had any problems. Option has been an affiliate on here for as long as I can remember. Cash = no tax and discount if you tell him you're from tcc.
By the way, try to spell properly, would be easier to read

^^ lol.
OP, it seems like you got loads and loads of reading left to do. Few problems I noticed are:
-mentioned supercharger, well Honda engines don't really like those. Plus the difficulty of adjusting boost is just not practical. There were few good discussions on here few years back. Do a search.
-why such difference in power goals between vtec and non vtec motors. Both are capable of the same power. Plus with the money spent to actually make a 350whp or even a 500whp sohc, the engine is going to be the cheapest thing in the build.
-since you are doing brakes, might aswell get rear disk conversion.
-would strongly advice against the rollcage if it will be a daily. When in an accident, your skull is like mash potatoes going against solid metal. -better get many kill switches and a very good alarm.
Imo, and I mean that's just me and don't take it personally. You will spend a lot of cash and ill still fly by you in sh!tbox lol. If it was me, I'd rather focus on performance than visual. I mean all those "jdm" things add up, and yeah they are nice if you plan on going to shows etc, but if its a daily all season car, those quite expensive parts will get damaged. And if you are going to park it, what's the point in owning a car that you only drive when its nice out? Got to enjoy it every day.

Bro... a 350-500 hp civic is definately not a dd... set more realistic goals maybe a 250 or something.. anything above 350 would be overkill for daily usage..
