Lookin sweet man. I think you should lower it just a tad bit like .5 inch to clear the wheel gap and it'll sit perfectly. Just a suggestion, very clean nonetheless.

thanks bro. I spent a solid hour running around my car like a mad man today adjusting each one to get as even as possible all around (still not satisfied but when is it ever all perfectly even???).

I did lower it a bit more to 100% guarantee the snug look but there was literally a half inch if not less worth of wheel space when I did that. the thought of hitting the occasional pothole or over a random hump on the highway at higher speeds when you go uppppp and dowwwnnn that it would definitely rub. So I left it with just enough of room for the tire to go up and down without any issues. function over form kinda thought? the future may bring me to going lower. addicted to low T_____T for now i'm satisfied.

ABOUT TO GO SEE THE DARK NIGHT RISES AT 12:15AM!!!! ROLLIN THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WITH JUST FOGS ON OR BOTH FOGS AND HIDS REPPING JDM YO. (absolutely kidding. but not really. <3 clubcivic)

yeah, i was thinking of getting one too! the look kinda grew on me. gives a more aggressive look. are they replaceable after you put them on one time? i'm planning on painting my car in the future. is the adhesiveness able to restick?

no aftermarket exhaust :( i removed the resonator so you hear the deep tone around 4k rpm (more noticeable in the cabin of the car of course). but the video sound quality is horrible! plus i wasn't pushing it in either vid

LOL!! i'm definitely going witha Yonaka catback in the future tho. I was just at a car meet this past weekend and a guy there dropped 20k worth of mods into his 00' si. the thing simply looked show car magazine worthy and sure enough he had a yonaka exhaust. sounded lovely and it just solidified my thoughts on it even more since i've already been reading such praised reviews on it from this forum as well as other sites on the net.

+1 yonakaaaaaa gogogogo
