The paint is from honda indeed but not a civic. It's from a Honda transalp:

before you reassemble, paint everything behind the front upper and lower grills, flat black. it will make the bumper color pop and will hide the radiator supports and mess back there for a much cleaner look. also i hope you are doing black grills... the bright silver grills look yucky on bodykits.

here's what i painted black on mine:

I really like the Hood, Liberal Grille, & Bumper combo. Flows nicely together, like they were made for each other. Before this I didnt like that bumper too much. But this looks really good. Nice color choice as well. Painting that radiatior support & mesh black like Reelax said along with an Aggressive wheel will really look good together. I say 19"s w/ a nice lip will fit the bill.

^ nothing in particular. I like my wheels, but I wish the lip was larger on it. My chrome 19"s that I sold to E_Emerson88 have a 2.5" lip on them. They're in his sig, but I dont think Chrome wheels would match your theme.

Here is what i have in mind....

These LED's on my bumper:

in german forums a lot of people have already discussed the usdm style and nobody was really interested in adding any parts on theirs...except some guys who like the different look of your taillights...but in general usdm is pretty infamous here like in the rest of europe (norway and sweden for example ;-) )...there was an US 8G on ebay.de about 10 times...seller couldnt get rid of it...even not for 3000 € = 4300 USD

it looks great, and not to discredit the hard work put in, there's not much beside the color that is "different" from things done before by members previously. it is an overall well executed makeover, but not really ground breaking.

Looks awesome man!

A few suggestions mostly on the kit itself. I think the kit looks a bit "busy".
-the front bumper has too many holes. the side vents IMO should be omitted and so with the indentations on the sideskirts.

-On the lower part of rear bumper (the one that looks like a diffuser) would look good if painted black...maybe fins can be added

to finish it off... a darker set of wheels

I was mainly referring to his front bumper and grille combo, Ive never seen that setup myself. So I was applauding him for trying something different in that aspect.

Thanks man!

Ok, about your criticism,
fist of al i would like to say to everyone that it's ok to criticize my G. This is my first build and i have no experience on other cars before this, hell this IS my first car.
I put a lot of hard work on the fitment just to make it look good and im happy with the results.
Reelax comment about my G saying that there is nothing extraordinary done is the truth.
Only thing i did different from other builders was the color and the grill/front combo, well i also threw away my antenna and filled the hole.
What i'm trying to say is i would'nt have gotten this far if it was'nt for criticism.
I hade many change of planes due to friends criticizing my ideas and when i look back on those plans, im glad i did'nt do them....

Back to you my friend:
You know about the "diffuser" i've already consider that thought but im not sure it will work.
But when adding fins to the "diffuser" would definitly give a nice overall look on the rear bumper and painting it black would'nt look stupid anymore.
This will be added on my winter todo-list if the car stays with me. =)
I have big plans for a Evo 8 or a 9.
Thank you for this brilliant idea. :)

SILLYASIANZ did the INTIAL V (CYBER) / LIBERAL grill back in the day on his old white G before he switched to VRG front, he just didn't post many pics of that configuration.

Well @ any rate, he tried something different, thats all Im saying. Didnt say he pioneered it, just said "I" never saw anyone do that before.

I think they are oem. These has been in my garage for centuries. The quality is very good and so is the fitment.

i agree that he did great work and the car looks excellent. i just was pointing out that it did not have anything "different", besides the beautiful choice of color, than what has been done previuosly; that doesn't mean that it is any less nice. remember that the 8G has been around since 1996 (1999 in the US), so innovation is not going to be as abundant as it once was when the car was at the beginning of it's production run.

honestly who cares if someone finds a new bit for their car as long as they like it that's all that matters, and if it comes out so nice that others like it too then you have really done well

btw i like and this is the only 8g that i've liked that front bumper

Criticism is one thing but this is ridiculous! Why do you need to point fingers and show pictures of whats been done and whats not? Nobody asked for that! If there is something on my G bothering you feel free to share that in this thred. I dont minde, it's your opinion and i respect it.

I created this thred to spread my love and joy for the 8G. And maybe, hopefully inspire someone one day just like i got inspired before i started this journey.

One of my inspirations is cali's white G and im glad that people show of their rides.
I just wanted to be among them....

if no one cared when a new part was made for our cars, then we would have no parts. i'm not saying that there is anything bad on this car... just that it is not a breakthrough; there is nothing wrong w/ that. i like the results very much! and have said it a few times allready! go review my posts. btw, u saying that this is the only 8G w/ that bumper that you like is disrespectful to those that have done it previously, since the only major difference is the color.

not criticizing your ride at all... i guess the meaning of what i am saying is lost in the translation as that is NOT my motive at all. somebody said that this is "different". i am correcting that with history. the pictures of past rides are to show that it has been done, not that your car is bad... but since this car is not new anymore, pretty much the majority of what will be done now, will be a repeat to some degree; this does NOT at all decrease the nice results that you have accomplished. i NEVER said that it is bad (in fact, i have not said that the car is not nice in any way, quite the opposite... reread any and all of the posts i have written in this thread). the color is beautiful, the execution is great as well.

I'm happy we had this discussion without anyone getting angry on each other. I'm having a hard time to express my feelings due to the language. I dont speak english very often here in Sweden but im doing my best. =)
I'm also happy you liked the color because i hesitate a couple of times before i did an order on it. =)
The truth is that i only had seen the color on the internet before ordering it.
And just to make it more exciting i told my painter that i did'nt want to see the paint until it finished on the car...

no worries. it was a simple misunderstanding. i have nothing against you or your car and was surprised that it was taken that way. i simply wanted to correct a misconception and offer suggestions to further enhance the look (like painting the altezzas and painting behind the bumper black). again, very good job on your car's transformation, the color really makes it stand out!

sorry my choice of words made it sound bad, but i think the difference was more than just color....i'll be the first person to say i'm not a fan of the bumper but this total package just works for me....not hating on others, i just like how this turned out......i still think that sounds bad sorry
