Especially the rear bumper. I think I like everything except the rear bumper
It just looks funky. I'm not sure if they customized it to look that way in the pic. Maybe it's the exhaust throwing it off. Not sure.

yeah, I say the same thing. I'm hoping maybe it's just been customized, such as the grill.

That's the nicest rear-end I've seen for this car, yet.

Funny, i meant aftermarket front end...... and the rear is kinda bugging me, its too offcentered, it doesnt feel balanced, now if we had dual exhaust, then i would look good.

yeah, I think I agree with you about the rear.




2k2civicSi: I'm not sure who sells, nor if it's out yet

I'm definitely not liking the rear. As for the rest of it. I think it looks good, I'd like to see it in person, photos can be misleading sometimes.

I found this guy on ebay selling the kit for 01+ civics. I asked him if he had some for the 02 si hatchback... his response was that there is no such thing as an 02 si hatchback! What an idiot! I emailed him with pics of mine that I own and a few other sources. Damn some people live in a damn cave!

im surprised by how many people dont know there is an 02 si. i spoke with a rep at hks and he thought it wasnt out as an 02, but as an 03. also i just got off the phone with ebc brakes and hes never heard of an 02 hatchback, now hes looking to see if the pads are the same as the rsx

I agree with the dislike. I like clean, simple, and classy. If you love your Si, you will want to drive it everyday. Putting something like that (1" from the ground, fiberglass) will make you hate driving the car everyday. Buy the CTR lip when/if it is available, or wait for Wings West to make something. Their lip kits are generally nice (urethane too!) Also, keep in mind; the CTR kit will be overdone, but there is a reason that things are popular. It is simply a great rear lip.

yeah, I agree with you completely. I decided I don't care for it. I'm hoping tsunami will come out with something. I loved their kits. They were suttle,but not to suttle. I liked the tsunami lip I had for my EX.
By the way, how are the springs holding up? All my friends say to go with those compared to the H&R. I still can't decide. I had H&R before and had nothing but good experience from those

:D I decided I would. They most likely have a higher spring rate than the sprint ones. Man, I was looking at this site: http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/archives/tech/0502_tech02_b.shtml and it seems easy to install them (I've done it before on my 97 EX), but damn, if we want shocks, we either have to pay a heavy price or but some cheaper ones that you will end up having to cut and end up paying more money than usual for install.
I think buying a shock that I don't have to cut up would be way better

The rear looks like it is "smeared" to the left a little. It is okay, not a fan of all that wire mesh
