I thought it was about on par with the Integra kit. The windows take some finageling to get in right, the trick is (I discovered) that the little triangular windows for the back seat actually push into the opening in the body. It was a pain to get it in, and I was afraid to bust my body but it works well and is more convincing than if the window sat back a couple of millimiters. The bumpers seemed fine to me, but I attached them to the body for painting, and tried to get the headlamps in later. That sucked, too, but I just trimmed the little bits of bumper meant to hold the lamps in, and then epoxied them in place to make up for the lost strength. The rest of the kit fit great, in my opinion, better than most Revell kits I've built, so maybe yours is just warped.
The only things I didn't like about the kit were the screws in the bottom (Civics don't have 4 bigs screws holding them together, I checked.), the really lousy muffler, the oversized "stock" rims and how the sunroof was molded in, and had to be filled to remove it. (ie Fujimi leaves the roof solid, and you cut the sunroof out if you like.)
