Yeah, they are eyelids that I got for $20 on ebay.. lol. All you need to do is take them to a paint shop and get them painted. They look really good on civics.

the drag gen III is good, but if they will pay... go custom. the drag gen III and fmax are the 2 fullest kits i've seen. as far as BOV's unless your gonna be doing some serious racing a greddy type-r will be perfect for your application

its good besides the no FMIC part, so just get a greddy FMIC with it, and i think you should be good for a decent amount of boost.
im a greddy whore, so thats the least biased answer i can give :cool:

IHI make the best turbo's they don't make a kit though if i were you i'd piece together the best bit's.
How much money are you gunna get all together?
if you don't know find out tell them to give you a number. if they have no idea then give them the prices of the different kits. make sure the price includes an intercooler and piping even if the kit does not.
then when you have a number see what you can piece together for that amount of money.
the kits are good starting places but you always end up replacing things down the line with better parts that you wish you had gotten in the first place.

it's the documentation of a greddy install and the subsequent upgrades from there. it's a pretty good read.

Okay.. well here's what's happening. I'm getting sponsored because Criswell just built a HUGE Honda dealership in the Germantown area of Maryland. They are going to have everything from the new car lot, used cars, motorcycles, boats and the 4 wheeler thingys. :D They have six building for each of the lots and they have one building that they didn't know what they were going to use it for. SO, someone over there had this really GREAT idea and said why don't we make it into a speed shop?? Well, that's where I came into things because they saw my car one night as I was getting into my car and they start talking to me about what they were thinking about doing - turning a building into a speed shop and getting their name out into the word about doing turbos and sh**. Well, to make a really long story short.... I put together a car shop and took care of all the little odds and n's. In Montgomery County, everyone knows everyone really when it comes to cars so it really wasn't that hard to get the word out that there will be a show and getting people to come. So, after doing all this "hard" work for them, they are giving me a turbo.... becuase like I said... lol, I work so damn hard on the show for them so they feel I need a 2/3G turbo.. I'm sooooo milkin' it.

Oh, and I didn't even think of it. If anyone lives in or around the Maryland area and would like to come to the show... it's on Sunday, Oct. 20th from 11 until 4. It's only $5.00 to enter and the g prize is $500 towards any performance part you want. It's going to be at the Criswell Honda dealership in Germantown, Maryland. It's a HUGE Honda dealership..
If you want to go, E-mail me at QOHSgirl@aol.com and I'll be more then happy to give you directions. ;-) **The show is open to all makes and models of cars and will be an indoor show.**
