February 21st - New Pic
Finally got some new pics of how my car looks now from the outside with the license plate relocated. I've come to like it a little bit more. Tow hook still isn't on. I gotta hammer the factory tow hook back straight and it's been way too cold to do so.
Opinions?

Poll (Simply post yay or nay and say it's for this poll):
Should I put on a license plate relocator?
I have the bumper plugs and plates to lock them in place. Only problem is, the f*** tards who did body work on my car when I got into an accident drilled new holes in the bumper next to the factory holes so I'll have holes anyways.

February 3rd Update!
Push start officially works . Spent 2 hours getting it wired up and installed properly. A lot of the time was spent trying to work in such a small space on my back .
Video of the button working and the key working:

It even glows red in the dark . Which means I have to find a better spot so it's in a more noticeable spot at night .

Pedals are now in too! Here's how my interior looks now (and yes, I know I need new floor mats. But I don't care about them. Way too expensive anyways just for mats):

February 1st Update!
I just installed the Benen 3-Point bar and all I can say is WOW. I always thought a front strut bar wouldn't do anything... Today, I was proved wrong. I mean this is a 3-point as opposed to a 2-point and I was kind of nervous how much it would help. On the drive, I did 35mph on a road and I started swerving the car really hard back and forth and I noticed a lot less chassis twisting from the front. The steering responded better and the car would actually turn instead of sort of have that lag, chassis twist, then turn.
I recommend this bar, or any 3-point for that matter, to any and everyone that is trying to improve handling. I'm glad I ended up keeping this and not selling it .

Original thread
I just felt like adding my collection of pictures and parts for records sake into a build thread . PS - there are TONS of other pictures I'm leaving out. These are just the ones that let you get the gist of the thread.
Most of the "regulars" on here know me and how long my car stayed stock .
Got my car in May of 04. Don't have any pictures but back in the good ole ricer days, I had a mugen grill and Walmart foggies for the longest time .
Got a type r style grill and Honda OEM fog lights eventually. Good ole summer day (early last summer) + hours of work detailing it:

Nothing happened until...for the first time since I got my car 4 years ago.......when BAM. Mugen stype lip, Tokico Illuminas, Eibach Sportlines, Skunk2 RLCA's, Megan Racing 4-2-1 SS 2 piece header, Honda OEM red stitched type r shift boot, and OEM Si sway bar (now sold and missed):

Bought a golden eagle tow hook (which is now bent and being replaced with a Benen polished one):
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c53/jrow87/DSC_0229-1.jpg
Then I ordered Honda OEM window visors

Followed by a Benen 3-Point "Tripod" bar. I ordered it in...October? It's still not in LOL. I just bought the hardware yesterday and it will be going in either tomorrow or Monday :
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c53/jrow87/DSC_0074.jpg
My car stayed parts free from then on until earlier this week when I picked up this from sk8shorty:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c53/jrow87/IMG_0164.jpg
Should be getting that wired up sometime this week as well.
Also paid for a 99-00 OEM si rust free axle back from MugenKid18 !!!!!
http://www.clubcivic.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=22352&d=1229701191
Also ordered a polished Benen rear tow hook . UPS has it now and it should be here this week. Bent my golden eagle one. Yes BENT. Long story short: I tried doing a reverse 180 in a parking lot full of packed snow that was about a foot high. I stopped dead in my tracks after going about a car length into the snow. My buddy pulled me out with his truck but he pulled me out sideways so he wouldn't drag me into the snow and f*** up my front lip and bumper. In doing so, the tow hook bent sideways .
Then paypal'd someone for a new part tonight . I've been wanting it for as long as I wanted a push-start button which....is almost....as long as I've had my car really. Only 1 person knows and I know (or hope ) that he doesn't say a word . It's OEM, black, and oh oh oh so sexy .
I know there's not much to see here... But like I said, my car was stock for FOREVER. A lot of people kept giving me crap, telling me to mod my car already . So here's a thread for ya'll who haven't kept up.
So stay tuned for more parts this week!
I GOT DEM WHEELS YESSS lol. Just a tad excited...
