I MIGHT drop the rear a half inch or so, just to offset that HD lip.

Hood risers don't even work to vent the motor they do the exact opposite.

I guess you're confused as to what this thread is about. Maybe you should refer to www.myreadingcomprehensionsucks.com.org.edu

Make sure your hood fits correctly first...then get some new rims and see where it needs to be after that.

But they make you look cool. To some people, that's all that matters. Later, QD.

are we talking about the car or your standards for your cars nowadays? one of those could technically go lower, the other, not so much.

Removing the spacers takes 2 minutes and I have PERFECT body lines. I just got new tires all around for the LS mesh, so I'm good.

I think it was importuner that did a dyno before and after the install of hood spacers and it proved to reduce underhood temp by enough to get like 5 whp I think....not sure how much it's been a while since I read it.

Anyway, yes lower, and paint, and wheels, and new clear, untinted heads and tails. my 2 cents

The spacers make it look like dookie to be honest. It looks cheap and like the hood is for the wrong car. New tires? yeah....funk getting rims for a while then....if you even keep it that long LOL

I got it from Summit. $13 per can, but it lasts a while. If you're every planning on coming this way, drop by and just use mine.

Eventually, I want to have it painted back Milano red with at least some TE37 knock-offs, so I agree. Until then, I'm working with what I have ;)

That's for cars that need them, from my understanding. And I think 5hp is a little much. it look shitty on cars that actually need them, let alone cars that don't. Later, QD.

Yes....you should lower it...right onto the Cragslist.com page and sell it. Why oh why did you go from V8 power to a Civic man?

Have you got onto the crack rock?

Agreed. I love my four banger, but the camaro was so much nicer than this. I remember your timeline after wrecking the integra and you steadily worked your way up to a very nice car. Now you've taken a few steps back. Don't spend too much time or money on this, there will always be another civic to buy if you want one later. For now keep flipping until you get something worth working on.

How about you quit wasting money on that POS honda of yours?

See? That sounds retarded. You like your car, so you keep spending money on it. I like mine, so no, I won't stop and just give up on it.

They're smoked/tinted.

ok well back to the hood spacers...the "object" of them is to keep the VC from hitting the hood when the motor rises when u accelerate quick..... as i had to after the swap in my da because the vc was tapping the hood under bracing ...but idk the deal with them on this car...just thought i woud throw that out there...btw its sitting just about right

I like it, normally not a fan of blacked out cars ,but this one grew on me. As for the height, I would eliminate that little visible fender gap, but just low enough to do that.

everything murdered, but non tinted windows? Black housed head lights would look better. It's not really that low from what i can see other than big front home depot lip, you can go lower.

The tint will come soon, but I'm not wasting my time with tint on these windows ;) And I like black housing headlights, don't get me wrong, but that's not the look I'm going for... if that makes sense.

I think that your car has a pretty nice body, the murder out look is nice, I am going to spray my Del Sol Satin black...
do the headlights give you any problems at night or anything?


Now to the actualy ? you asked, I would just lower the back down.
