Well, I myself, like other people on here I am sure are into the JDM look. I used to be the guy who would get the "iced out taillights" some 17's, an exhaust, change all the amber stuff to clear, maybe a system and be the hottest shit out. Then I grew up and found out that it looks like crap. I am not here to diss anyone's stuff, I am just throwing in my 2 cents. IMO, there are "show cars" and then there are "street cars" if you have a show car, thats great, there are just certain ways I like things styled. I don't mind cars that have a wide body kit on them (350Z,Supra,240), I just don't really like it or think it has a place on a civic. As for street cars, I think they should have a simple clean OE sort of look to them (not talking about stock now), have a nice little drop on them and stuff.
Those rims might go good on a cruising type vehicle, but I just don't feel them on a civic. I like your grill, I think u just need to get i painted (like you said). I like it all, its just that the eyelids,rims, and side markers are killin' me.

Here is a pic of what I like, it's just me.
