well i dont liek the electrictronics much...a system is one thing but ps2's not my thing...but its looking okay i suggest a rear disk brake swap maybe with them drums..with rims with big opening i think it looks better...i would suggest a B series swap or even K...i heard H22's weigh down civics alot and they cost alot more and are not so direct swaps...it will take alot of mods...

I just prefer the analog look of the autometer guages, im kind of a fan of simplicity, all the screens are hidden, in the visors and folding from the ceiling, if you didnt look for them, youd never know they were there.... i hardly ever use them, but it is pretty cool to take a girl out and sit at a boatlaunch at sunset and watch a movie... ive heard the ease of swap of the 16's and 18's but yet i havent looked into them... haha oh and on the rice comment, whatever dude, stock exterior with rims... is defiantly not my definition of rice... loud ass exhausts and buttloads of stickers are my def of rice...

I see I think 5 stickers and a Ractive exhaust.

You're half way there.

Don't paint your drums either, just get some rear discs.

Why do you need the gauges? You turboing?

The stickers really throw off the lines of the car. And it needs to be lower.

im curius as to the NEED for the gauges aswell. You mentioned you like the look of the gauges but not the reason you need them at all. Id definently say that thing needs to be lowerd, and those stickers are not helping anything. More power to you on the electronic gadgets, but if im gonna watch a movie it would be in the comfort of my own home or a theater, not the drivers seat of my car. Your suggestion of a sunset movie may appeal to some but im willing to bet the vast majority would rather A: Be OUTSIDE watching that sun set, or B: be in a HOUSE watching a movie. Cars wernt designed to be theaters, any attempt to make them into one, is just silly
EDIT: having a basicly stock z6 is nothing to brag about, so the SOHC VTEC sticker doesnt help your "not a ricer" stand point

lower that bitch! and paint the drums and calipers back to black or silver, they would look much better. oh and i didnt know ractive made an exhaust? you mean you have a muffler right? oh and please remove all those stickers, it looks like theres too much going on with the car and its pretty much stock. im not knocking on the car man, just giving you some ideas on what would make it look cleaner so dont get offended.
