and red emblem should've gotten the civic type r ones... they are much bigger... right now urs is too small...
I think it's a good size. Emblems are waaay too big on new cars these days.
I like the drop it's got now and have to keep a balance of looks and functionality. Any more of a drop will be impractical for everyday street driving and doesn't make sense. I scraped the bottom of the front bumper leaving a drive through the other day!! It aint going any lower.
I really dig what looks to be quality bodywork and paint. Oddly, I don't mind the spoiler and i actually think it looks good from the front and front 3/4 views, the rear view....not so much. Why did you opt for the r34 bumper instead of the buddyclub2, and i thought i saw in the earlier pics you had the rear too but it looks like you switched to the WW. Overall pretty well done for that particular look.
Not my taste but i can appreciate the fact that it was thought out and executed pretty well.
the only thing i have beef with is the mesh.

I like how this is a quality yet pricey build for a body kit, which is the only way to do a body kit right. Bumpers fit right, color is amazing, and even the 2 tone w/ cf on the hood is nice. IMO, definitely needs to get rid of the wheel gap and get some 18's on their since that obviously is just a show car and not a race car. would look beast slammed to the ground, stock height just isn't doing it more me. Over all not bad good sir. One of the few accords to actually pull of a kit. 
but pleaseee get rid of those headlights. i even had the same set a few years ago, they are complete GARBAGE and ruin the look of your quality job. My set, identical to yours(except chrome), broke in 3 months of usage from regular driving on stock suspension; the adjustment spring broke and the right side was pointed straight at the ground. please either put oem black housed or oem retrofitted headlight on there. heck, even the TYC's would do because at least they're usable. plus the light output on those is worse than stock

LOL. Lots of folks on here don't really dig the mesh, but I love it. And I've gotten nothing but compliments from random folks on the street...at gas stations, restaurants, etc. I always had the R34 front bumper...it's the back one that was switched out and I went with a lip attached to the back bumper instead. The one that came with the kit sat way too low and would have been jacked up within a few months of street driving. I appreciate the compliments!

There really isn't much wheel gap and again I can't lower it anymore and still drive it everyday comfortably. My fenders would be screwed up in no time. It has 18's on it right now...that's what you see in the pics. I've had 0 issues with the headlights in a few years of ownership and LOVE the way they look and besides, it's something different than the OEM or retros that folks are enamored with. Thanks for checking out my whip.
dude... love the paint... soooo cleannn...
not feeling the black hood and stripes...
and red emblem should've gotten the civic type r ones... they are much bigger... right now urs is too small...
more drop... and its perfect....

Definitely looks like very quality work man!
The car isn't my taste at all with the mesh, body kit, wheels and drop aren't agressive enough, however I do like the wheels, just not on your car. The paint looks really nice and so does the interior. Looks to me like the car had good intentions but just doesn't flow and is cluttered.
I'm sure if I saw it in person I would have a different oppinion because I bet these pictures don't do your car justice.
Again props on the work and being different.
