How do you think it's going to look?

You did, and I appreciate that some can discern between Honda and ricer. Go ahead and run your smack, how well will your shit run 100k from now?? not as well as my Honda does. What kind of fuel economy you get? I get 30mpg every tank on regular. Believe me, I work in the service dept. at a Honda dealership and see more fucked up ricers than you can imagine. If I hadn't blown all my mad money on a new sub, my jackson racing supercharger would be much closer, and we would have a totally different conversation about horsepower. Even stock, I'd take my chances with a GP, I've driven some, and they are quick, but not anymore impressive than my car (including the newer gtp's) most likely because they weigh a lot more, so they need horsepower to get out of thier own way. A modded GP? I'd likely get smoked, but hey, I don't race- it's a daily driver/commuter car.

my 05 mustang hangs with your 05 civic.........and not by a car, but side to side on the street and id be willing to bet i could hang/beat at the track with proper conditions.

Is there a point you are trying to make somewhere in there? I would hope it would smoke me at a dragstrip, on the road with corners...I doubt it.

Hood should be complete this break. Haven't had much time to finish up on it because of finals and whatnot coming this week!

But it'll definately be done after this break. I'm also supposed to be getting a paint job, so we'll see.

Here's a video of my car as well. Went cruising for a couple minutes one night then a video of a lap at the auto-cross yesterday

Just an update, i'll have pics up after this break (beginning of the year)

There are four MAJOR things being done to it tomorrow, well, not tomorrow, but tomorrow it goes into the paint/body shop. One of the things is paint, and the rest, you'll have to wait for pics!

the guy went out of town for a couple days, so the initial work starts tomorrow, i'm gonna drop off some cash so he can get started.

Should have some pics by the end of the week of the first part of the body work (the biggest part)

Thanks for showing interest!

I wouldn't waste my time, I mean no offense or anything man. Please don't do that to the hood. PLEASE!!!!! I'm not saying your car sucks or anything, I like them a lot, just don't go that route with it. Lower it a little or something, get some nice wheels, paint, tint. Just do anything other than putting a pair of big nostrils on top of the hood.

It's been dropped 2 1/2", the front wheels have like 1/4" clearance from the B4U fender flares //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And ya'll think the hood's all huge and shit. It's not even that big. The scoops are like 2" tall if that, and it's bein painted a certain kind of black, so it'll tone it down quite a bit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

As for how intellectual every claims to be on this site, why can we not ALL take the time to read the entire f*ucking thread before posting, then looking like miss-informed pricks...

Honestly, it's 11 pages so far, and takes shit-all time to thoroughly read.

Personally I think the hood is unique, so why not do it if you like the car and will continue to own it.

Now, if I made any spelling errors, congratulations on finding them, go get some vaseline, a dictionary, and make to the bathroom (or alternative place of privacy) and get that self-indulgence out...
