    dont sweat it i like your car and i also like the si badge idea but youve gotta have something to back it up (even tho i feel my stock is can take out a stock si) but yea anyway keep us posted on the mods and have comfort in knowing that my front end looks WAAAAAAAAAAY worse than yours

      lol thanks man, makes me feel better to hear all that.
      the si badge i don't think i'll do unless i stumble upon a badge and just do a last second purchase because of seeing it.
      the is vs. si thing though gets me the times are suppose to be the same so it should come down to the better driver
      i haven't been in the 2000 si but i have been in the 2002 si and they aren't the fastest but will take the 325is stock vs. stock but I don't think it would be by TOO much

            I think it looks good.. if you like weaves I say go with a nice set of BBS RS, 16x8 or so all around. they are expensive but if you're doing an S52 swap you can probably afford them. :)

              I don't mean to be rude or anything TJ, but your car is pretty damn stock. wheels, lowering (I'd call it curb grinding), seats and a front spoiler? yeah you did the 5 speed but most people buy them like that..

                thanks nando.
                i was looking at the BBS RS but i didn't know size, i figured they would be in 16x7 and 17x7.5 but if they are in 16x8 then i'll def think about getting them, any clue on how much they weigh? it doesn't really matter though i'm going to look them up right now, thanks,
                and if anyone else has an idea for rims or a rear valence or even whole "body kit" then tell me i'd like to start looking at some.

                  What does that have to do with anything? My car isn't "seriously" modded, but it's also more than just "lowering" and a 5 speed swap.

                      but I like rust.........
                      i just like posting step by step through my project and post whenever i do something new
                      it just seems like though, to some people i shouldn't say anything until the car is done.

                      oh well i'll prolly start a new thread soon and title it the project..

                        like what? a chip? seriously, you always rag on other people for having stock looking cars, but like you said yours isn't exactly wild. yeah, it's very nice and clean looking, but pot = kettle.

                          You are missing the point of what I said about his car. I don't care if its stock looking, I prefer cleanly modded cars that are more stock (like yours) to wild cars (like Jordan's), but when you have a color like electric blue it's got to be wild and you can't pull it off with a stock looking car.



                          That's my mod list (second post down).

                            we will see. that's just something you and me both will have to wait and see if it has to go wild or if stock looking will look fine.... pics the color doesn't look good but in real life i think stock looking it will look good.

                                Hey man, as long as you don't put a ton of subs in the trunk and do an automatic conversion, it's going to be better than your old Civic 8-)
