*Nice wheels, very nice
*Lose the window vents (they look better on dark collored cars)
*Lose the tow hook. To me, its rice!
*Lose those black strips on the rear bumper
*And if you can, swith to a 99-00 front end with black housing headlights.
*other than that, its pretty clean. It's like ur car is not too pretty neither too ugly so its not a head-turner

The back bumper is a SiR bumper. So the 'black strips' are OEM. He's just missing the front bumper and lip. And he said it's coming soon. So removing of the black strips is sin.*Nice wheels, very nice

I've seen some nice 96'-98' set ups and OP's car is pretty clean. No need to do a 99'-00' conversion. Although I agree it's better of the two, don't be like everyone else. Stick with the year of your civic.
Nice car! You need some 96'-98' tail lights bro.
I guess its your opinion. the strips on the rear bumper is there because its the SiR bumper. and I like the 98 front end better than the 99s and i had black housing headlights but i got sick of them*Nice wheels, very nice

thanks man. I have 98 tails but I think i might leave them off.The back bumper is a SiR bumper. So the 'black strips' are OEM. He's just missing the front bumper and lip. And he said it's coming soon. So removing of the black strips isn't necessary.

well I have a black 00 coupe, its the only civic ive ever owned (and hopefully the only one too cause what I really want is an S2K, thats my achiaveable dream car... well the M3.....) so mine came with that front/rear end the only thing i changed were the headlights, to the black housing ones. And the tow hook, well I'm just not a fan of any tow hooks on any car. tow hooks are for race cars (well, the more accessible ones like the honda people use) and 99% of our civics arent a race car so.. But like I said, overall its clean and I do like those wheels alot.
Oh, just noticed the mud guards, they're hot... you dont have the rear ones thou, right? It's kinda hard to tell on the pic. I dont have any and want them but they're expensive and since i just uilt my motor, im left moneyless for now

Yeah I really don't care if the tow hook is rice or not necessary. I just like the looks. and I don;t have the rear mud guard on the car right now because i haven't drilled the hole for it on the new rear bumperwell I have a black 00 coupe, its the only civic ive ever owned (and hopefully the only one too cause what I really want is an S2K, thats my achiaveable dream car... well the M3.....) so mine came with that front/rear end the only thing i changed were the headlights, to the black housing ones.

You do realize the point of tow hooks for civics right? Lowered car that breaks down, the tow truck could do some major damage to front bumper and lip, or just attach to that nice red tow hook and save your body.well I have a black 00 coupe, its the only civic ive ever owned (and hopefully the only one too cause what I really want is an S2K, thats my achiaveable dream car... well the M3.....) so mine came with that front/rear end the only thing i changed were the headlights, to the black housing ones.

To the OP after seeing so many clean 96-98 front ends, I think I like em more than the 99-00 that's on my car. Clean car man, I was about to ask about the front bumper until I read that you're getting the SIR one.
loose? im guessing you meant lose, and tow hooks arent rice!*Nice wheels, very nice

EJex, his car is his car and if the tow hook works for him then great. I personally dont like it that's why I'd never have one... and besides if your car left you on the side of the road, you shouldnt have spent money on a tow hook and instead fixed the problem in the 1st place... And I've never seen a tow truck towing any car by that tow hook (besides on races) cause that major damage you say could occur can be greater if the tow truck breaks the the car being towed plows in the back of the truck... You know it man, tow hooks are just for looks and nothing else! I highly doubt you or anyone else with a $100+ Benen would want chains on that... Its just my opinion.
EK4c, you got me smart ass lol. I fixed that.. perhaps not rice but definitely for looks and useless

not everyone builds a show car man, i have tow hooks and i dont buy a part unless its going to be used. my civic sees its fair share of abuse and every part i have bought for it serves a purpose. buying parts that will never be used is a waste of money and in my opinion rice. like when someone spends almost a grand on suspension upgrades yet the car never sees a track or any kind of driving the parts were meant for.EJex, his car is his car and if the tow hook works for him then great.

thanks man. nothing done to the engine at all. i took out my SRI (hot air intake). OP is original poster i thinkI like the lip on the car, it looks super sweet! I feel the Sir bumpers look a little funny but are still nice on your ride. Anything in the engine bay? I was also curious, what is OP?

I still don't think you know the purpose of the tow hook. Tow trucks don't 'tow' cars by the tow hook per say. When they pull your car into the truck bed, they use the winch to pull your car up.
To pull your car up, they put the winch on your STOCK tow hook. Normally, if your car is lowered, the chain and the angle of it will TEAR up your lip and your bumper. If you had a tow hook, they can hook the winch to that, and pull your car up SAFELY. Given, your lip and bumper might scrape the bed due to how low your car is. It definitely has a good purpose.
Besides, you can never tell when your car will break down. What if your head gasket blows, or your car just breaks down and won't start. You don't have time or the tools to diagnose it on the spot. You get it towed to your house, so you can work on it. Happened to me.... my distributor was shot, no spark.
