yea dont get this kit!
i got so fed up with tryin to put it on i just gave up.

so i just ended up painting it all to match the exterior. and yes it does look pretty lame unless the rest of your interior matches as well. but im getting my seats and door pannles recoverd soon to match.

It looks lame in general if its going to be stock and matching the outside of your car. Unless you plan to fully deck it out with everything interior, if not then it will look like most riced out Civics.

ehh i agree painting it looks tacky and very ricer like a civic.
i completely regret doing it.. i did it when i first got my car..
thats why i tried to take it off today
and its a ***** to take off
since i just got the door panels re-done in gray leather and i changed my color theme.. the few painted pieces look horrible =/

IMO, when making a car sporty, I like the Less is more idea. Small OEM style wing if any, lip kit not a full body kit, and definitely no paint or stickers on the inside. But it is your car and everyone has different tastes.

oh yeah, and Paint chips!
