Nice car but raising the bonnet is defo a no.you think the hot air escapes through the back.but the heat also travels to cold components in the car ie air filtet.best to keep it firmly as heat rises its gt no wer to go n no wer to travel.did that on my last civic n i paid the price

ive jus done the grill and looks sweet :D and now off 2 get the paint for the calipers 8-) cant wait 2 see wot it looks like with those done aswell...and also it doesnt bother me about hot air passing the filter bcoz my filter is mounted in the bumper so it wont be sucking it in from the bay 8-) but obv it will heat the inlet pipe but shouldnt think that would make much differance? :?: will get some more pics up end of the week wen ive got the calipers done aswell

heres a few more pics since ive done the grill and calipers :D jus gotta try and clean my de-tango'd headlights up so they shine an then il get them on aswell 8-) jus finding it a pain in the a$$ 2 get them 2 be really clear :x any ideas on a solution guys?

The calipers didnt come up 2 badly seens as they where coverd in crap before i sanded them down!

Hope u guys are liking the look?! i think its coming on well but i still havent tracked the vti-s lips and skirts down off my mate which will help the look i think?

my VTI is some colour as yours, i have 17s on mine but are hoping to go back to 15's,

i pref black wheels on this colour as it goes well with the bump strips and stuff.

ill be doing my wheels in satin black i think.

i have the VTI-S front and rear lip colour coded and im able to get some VTI-S Side Skirts but not sure if i can be bothered with the mess on
