    LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

    Always awesome to see someone go out on a limb and try something a little outside the box. And now that there are more and more 6th gens sporting Airwalker/BYS style fronts due to Weaksauce's replica, this front is a nice breath of fresh air.

    But please for the love of fuck's sake... don't put the chicken wire mesh shit in there. I'll have to slap your ass back to 1997 and buy you a Mase cd. jk


    Fill it up with a nice big front mount.

    ...or yeah spraying the core support/rad/ac stuff black would work too.

    Anyway, props to you sir

    what is outside the box about a cwest bumper? i'm not saying i dont like it... but that is still WELL inside the box if you ask me.. but that also could be my 5 years in a '99 Si talking.. where it seemed like just about every other EM1 had a cwest bumper

    <---spent 4 years in a '99 ej8. I get it too man. I wasn't saying it was like something nobody's ever done... I'm very aware of the prominence of the C-West bumper. It's just that as of late, no one seems to want to try to rock anything but the oem front cause otherwise it wouldn't be "jdm" enough or would just be ricey or whatnot. Just seems to be a little tiptoe away from that. Still technically "in the box"... just off in its own little corner, you know?

    exactly..........as far as "JDM" goes, you cant get anymore JDM than this. they was out of stock and this is fresh off the boat or plane. i know everyone uses the term "JDM" to descibe every thing stock about a civic but to me it's "OEM".
