Looking good, good to see other scene members on here.

Are you doing the drop first or Aero kit?

Not to frighten you away from the drop, but someone on the scene ended up taking their coilovers out because of bad camber wear. I can't believe some company has not made a camber kit yet...

I'm still thinking which one to do first. But I won't be getting the full kit it's way too expensive, probably just the lip. Yea I know about the camber issue. Appranrly it's too expensive and too little interest for companies to fabricate one for the 2nd gen. So if I do go low it will be just springs to keep the camber issue to a minimal. Yea not many scene member here, no chance for a met

Wetsand with 2500 first to see if it takes down the excess touch up, then use a rubbing compound to polish out the sanding marks. If 2500 grit doesn't do much you can go to a lower grit, the lowest you should use is 1500. Any lower than that you might sand through the clear.

Emo Instagram picture of my R sitting pretty next to the daily. I only take the R out after checking the weather forecast to make sure there is no rain.

Civic Si replaced by a fully loaded GTI, my reasonably-priced dream car! Should've gone with this all along, I never fell in love with the Si and my commute was a pain in the ass with a manual car.
Proper wash to come this weekend.

^ I had the exact same problem with my 07 Si, I liked it enough i suppose, but i never really "loved" driving it. No clue why. Before the Si i had a 2000 Nissan Maxima and while the Si was literally better in every conceivable way i still wished to the day i sold the civic i had kept the Maxima...

Good luck with it dude. Mine has been nothing but awesome. MAKE SURE TO GET STAGE 1 FLASH. If you think its fun now, add 40+hp and 70lb/ft of torque for 500 bucks. Its fucking mind-blowing the way it changes the car.
