I can recognize when I am not welcome on a site. Sorry if I am wearing out my welcome because I bought a different brand car. I got the car because its fun and it was thousands below trade in value with a clean title and carfax. I didn't get the car so I could argue with you about whose is faster...your SVT's or my Civic Si. I did state that I know my car is quicker than my old ST. I believe it is. That didn't mean I need to race someone else's ST or SVT to prove it. It was just a statement/opinion. I enjoy the Civic Si. I used to enjoy the conversation and advise i would get when I came here with questions/comments/etc. So I came here with this car to update all of you on where I'm at and to ask a couple of questions...not to argue about who's car is faster.

Thanks for the comments and feedback. How do I mount the plate in the grill? Drill holes? I painted the wheels a dark grey last night, they turned out a lot darker than I wanted, but they still look pretty good I think. I did the calipers red instead of black because the rims turned out so dark. The calipers look really good. I also put in new headlights..."bright white". That was a challenge, I had to take the wheel well plastic out to get to the front right one and even then it was tight...but it worked out. I'll post pictures of the work up, if that is okay... If I am not welcome here, just let me know and I will get feedback from the civic forums.

Yup, what he just said. You don't think we would get the same if we were mnhondas members and said "I just bought a focus"?

This. We're just busting your balls man. Don't take it personally, it's all in good fun. If the grill is big enough, try and zip tie it in somehow. Drill small holes pointing up into the bumper, out of sight and hang the plate from there. You should be able to get it in there. Ask around the Honda a Civic forums for a solid answer.

Exactly, you should expect some grief if you're bringing a Honda in here. o2designs has a VW now and we give him a hard time non-stop about it.

And besides, you did say "Waaaaaayyyyyyy better than my ST ever was or would have been" which is rather a bit like throwing down the gauntlett.


.

Yeah, at least you don't have to worry about your cams with a Honda...

How about this?

You could probably fab something up like that using angle or flat metal.

Wow. Thanks for all the responses. Sorry...I get offended easily. Wooops!

Got some updates pics...

What kind and color VW did Kyle get?

Did you use the spray on or brush on caliper paint? I picked up some spray, and I'm debating going back and picking up the brush on kit.

I actually kinda like these Civic's. Not my first choice, but could see the interest in one...

I'll take you and Steve on...bring it. LMAO j/k I'm not a street racer, I like my driver license. :-/

I'm sure we could find a fairly sheltered area to hold such an event...I'd hate to show you both up at the same time though.

I used the brush on kit. I think it is way easier that way. Kinda expensive though. I have extra black and red, if you're gonna do one of those colors. LMK.

Yeah, don't get all huffy, man. I'm just an all american guy. I'm not a big foring fan, but they are nice cars and all. personal preference.

What makes you think you can pull on a turbo...lol...good luck

What kind of vw do you have, Kyle?? Is it a 1.8 turbo then? Is it the diesel? Must be the gti...pics?
