I liked the bumper over the blitz front end or some of the front ends that just look like a really tall stock bumper with a huge front opening. I thought it wasn't as extreme as most, but not so plain. As for the wheels, they came with the car. I plan on Axis or Volk 17" and a nice set of Tokico to tame that wild fender gap!

Personally I like these Volks

I just like how they look on Civics. I saw them in bronze and they weren't bad, but I prefer the gunmetal.

Function first, my friend. They're like 8 or 10lbs a wheel. VERY lightweight, excellent for racing. They do look slick though, dont they? :naughty:

I'm not much into racing, but having light wheels is always cool!

Only a madman puts a 9lb racing wheel on a car that's driven on city streets... the first pothole that sneaks up on you, or the first curb you clip, and you may as well have lit those hundred dollar bills on fire. If you want to drop unsprung weight, just buy ATS CompLites or JAX Lights... about 11lbs a wheel, but around $100 apiece... if ya bend one, ya just buy another one.

Sure, wheels like Volk are good for racing-- they generally only last about 1 race, sometimes less-- but when your wheels and tires are all provided, what do you care?

I didn't know the lightweight wheels were so flimsy. I like your sig by the way.
