Well, since you already have the kit you might as install it and get it painted. It'll be cheaper than a swap.

asking an internet forum that represents many different viewpoints and attitudes about tuning wont get you anywhere. it doesnt even have to be speed or looks. many people choose to go fast and look CLEAN. not good, but CLEAN. i can't stress this enough. do yourself a very big favor and go to www.jdmcivic.com right now! look at some of the cars there. they are all very nicely done because they all use QUALITY products and go for a clean look. good luck with the engine swap

if we all told you that painting your car pink and running 12 "kanz of nnaawwwsss" was cool would you do it???

modifying a car shoudl be liek a piece of art.. it SHOULD be a representations of ones inner creativity or quest for speed... it should NOT be a collective representation of what peopel THINK is cool... are you trying to make yourself happy, or impress a buncha kids you have never and probably will never meet??? trying to impressed the kids at the local school yard??? if you are.. GREAT.. sell your car and get a life... because in my humble opinion thats WEAK... will i help you pick out quality parts??? YES Will i share with you my technical expieriance??? OFF COURSE... will i tell you step by step how to mod YOUR car?? NO.. thats on you..

oc's at it again

well yes it is your car, do what you think looks good. if you like the wingswest avernger kit, slap it on. if you like the oem lip slap it on. if you want your car "painted pink and running 12 "kanz of nnaawwwsss" do that.

But I say, you got the BC kit so might as well put it on. You already paid out the ass for shipping.

you could always just save up later for the swap
