Would the mugen front lip look funny w/o the full kit? i.e. does it hang lower or further out than the sport ground effects on the side or rear?

Thanks!

Why not build your own?

that's just an example of someone doing their own box, not necessarily stealth.

I think a good place to put on might be right in front of the cubby hole in the back. Using the cubby hole as a brace to hold the box steady when you drive around. You could even use the cargo hook under the tail light panel to secure the box. If you set it up just right, you can unhook the bottom, lift the box a little, pull it out of the cubby hole, and leave no trace it was ever installed (depending on how you run the wires).

i normally keep my mouth shut when i don't like something, but i can't this time - please take the fake carbon vinyl off the hood, it looks horrible! and it is just ending up on way too many cars these days, i will admit i have it on my mirrors and have for some time, i even forget it's there till someone says something about it, it (carbon vinyl) looks great on smaller pieces and interior stuff, but it just looks tacky on roofs and hoods. (trunks too) black out your roof (matte vinyl) and get smaller wheels, it looks 4x4 now

i liked this car until recently, and i know it's your car and you can do what you want i just thought I'd give my .02

feel free to flame me in one of my threads (yes i have blue wheels - for me no one but me)

^ haha everyone has their own taste. you do have cotton candy wheels tho to each their own i say, but i kind of agree with you on the hood. this car has all the nice expensive parts (like all the mugen!) so why not spring for a bad-ass JDP carbon vented hood. those are siiiiiiiiiiick!

To answer some questions regarding Civic Si seats in GE8.
1. Custom brackets for seats.
2. Airbags and weight sensors are PnP.
3. Transfer GE8 seat belts to Si seats.
There is no airbag or seat belts sensor error.

Hey nice Fit but when I saw this I have to let ya know use anti-seize on the back side of the aluminum. What happened to mine was electrolysis and after a year the rear spacers were locked to the iron drum, and 1 of the fronts even worse and I had to use a hole cutter to cut the aluminum around the lug nuts. But if anti-seize had been used I believe all would have come apart as designed.

Nice work !

Thank you for warning, Big Mike. I am no longer use the spacers for the rear wheels. I am running Mini Cooper R90 7JJx17 on 205/45R17 now. I used the spacers for about 6 months. I know what you said? It already happened to me. It took me awhile to remove them with no damage.
