i might as well add my 2 cents, i buy and sell cars every week. i also build all my own rides. now where to start... ok how about "input" well your price is off the chart high, i mean like crazy stupid high. im not trying to offend you in any way, but its true. i could build your car right now for less than 15k. i also have access to more items at my disposial than most people have like a shop, extensive tools, milling machine, paint booth. etc, etc.

the truth is, we are still talking about a 97 hatch, which is 8 years old!

we are dealing with the hatch most people dont like (everyone wanted the 99-00 hatch, better frontend, liner actuated ac controls. darker grey interior)

you are selling custome mods, not a car! mods that alot of people dont want.

shaved everything is a bad idea (the factory installed rain channels for a reason!)

19" wheels are a bad install on civics, not to mention kinda 5 years ago

racing hart c2's are a very old wheel design, they still look great but they did come out about the same time your car did around 97

custom paint is a bitch to match, to hard to do future mods or repairs

stereo equipment is personal preference not to mention you can now buy mb quart on ebay for next to nothing. (i personally still love them)

your seats are $850 plus shipping from 3 distributors in the us

nitrous kits mean you abuse your cars (i do too) but it greatly hinders resale.
no one believes you never hooked it up even if its really true.

your only real saving grace is your motor, which can be bought or built for fairly cheep, but still holds value. too bad you were spraying it

your electronics are used, which means little value

your body kit is also very dated

i could probably go on but you get the point im sure.
again im not trying to flame you or your car, just the price.

btw if anyone wants to buy a similar car minus the 19's and sporting a bad ass turbo kit for around 8k let me know

ps mine is a 2000 hatck with a gsr interior conversion including dash with all working ac controls.
oh yeah, i run low 12's on street tires

i do have some really good advise for you to help you get close to 15k for your car though pm me
