I'd get rid of that sub box, that thing looks like it weighs 100lbs! Other minor ricer things, like the shift ****, that I'd get rid of. Otherwise, very clean and unmolested! I'd lower it, get some wheels, a front lip and call it a day!

one thing i noticed... if you plan on keeping the sub box, i would find a way to secure it down... cause if you get into a high speed accident and thing is gonna kill you...
edit, btw... that car is my twin, minus the sunroof and 4 lug hubs/rims and blue interior...
these are old pictures.

well rested,buffet o food
That IS a nice clean car. Assuming the surface is prepped well, i guess after you finish putting the trim back on the car, the black wheels will work. If you are gonna leave the k and n stickers i would probably measure the distance from the top of the door to the sticker and measure that same distance from the bottom of the door. Purchase some uncle bens stickers and place them at that point to create symmetry.

Nice low mileage FC. I'll admit, a K&N sticker is on my car as well on the opening of the air snorkel. It came with the filter, so I figured why the hell not.
-I'd swap that **** out for either a stock one or one out of another car (I think mine's out of an old celica and it sits a good inch below the stock ****)
-Bolt that box down! When I first put mine in, it wasn't mounted and a deer decided to cross the street in front of me... Those subs smacking the back of the seat (and possibly your head) aren't anything plesant.
You did do a nice job painting where the rub strips went. Have you considered S5 ones?

Arctic Silver FTW!
K&N stickers, those gauge faces, that shift **** and that sub box. Please get rid of them, man. Those things may work on some skank *** 80's civic but don't deface our community.
