Well before I make my coments I want to remind you that its your car, your pride and joy, and you can do whatever you want to it as long as you are proud of it.

I really don't like the pedals, whats wrong with the stock ones?

And by "custom black carpets" do you mean that you walked into pep boys and bought black carpets?

The car has potential.

Well. A: I don't like the small stock pedals, so I used the carbon fiber pedals I bought for my CRX, although I would rather have all black pedals.
B: The carpets I ordered from ebay, they are all black made to fit civics and not those cheapy cheapo carpets that you step on and and it flakes off.

-Although I respect your opinion, I would be asking for contructive criticism please.

That leaves you pretty open to opinions.

I think its a very nice looking car, but I'm worried for its fate. (I mean future)

Yes, thats true, but I need helpful opinions.

Why would you be worried about its fate?

What do you mean helpful opinions? You want people to tell you what you should do with it?

No, I know what I want, but I am open to ideas or changes (given they are good ones). I don't understand why you would be worried about its future?

with SiZ. If you're gonna ask for our opinion, be prepared for the best and the worst of our replies. In my opinion your car has a lot of potential. Definitely don't let any of the...ahem....constructive critisism discourage you. Everyone has to start somewhere with their projects...

My only advice would be to do what you want, not what you think other people would consider "cool". Your car is an extention of yourself ... It's your hard earned money, and your hard work that will make the car what you want it to be. Honestly, who cares what we think?

Well A: Any critism can be constructive critism.

B: I've never seen/heard of carpets that flake. I bought my uncle "cheapo" carpets for his truck, for x-mas, a few years ago, and they show no signs of "flaking", just normal wear and tear.

I too am worried for the future of the car, ecspecially the heat/ac vents and door panel trim...

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Oh I get it, you guys think I am gonna rice the hell out of it.

Well here are my plans:

-D16Z6 Swap
-DC Ceramic Headers (non-chromed)
-Flow Cat & Flow Resonator with 2.25 pipe
-Coil-over lowering springs/havent decided about suspensions yet
-Exterior all chrome moulding coming off & going black/or being replaced with dx mouldings.
-Door Trim coming off.
-Paint (NH-630) Dark Silver w/pearl
-Rims, haven't decided yet, maybe honda rims/maybe aftermarket or maybe just stock wheels.

Thats it, not too much, just trying to keep it clean, simple and nice. The interior is staying the way it is.

I never said that.

Its just that those pedals are a tell-tale sign. Are those APC?

Its your car man, don't let us tell you what to do, just dont get upset when we give our opinions, if they arent exactly positive.

What door trim are you talking about taking off?

Sorry, I meant mouldings, actually to be honest, I want to replace them with the 88-89 mouldings (as well as bumpers), but it will be a very long time until that happens.

As for the pedals, A1Racing cheapshit (I bought them when I had my CRX), my taste and money intake has changed a lot since then though, but again, I want to replace them with some nice all black pedals. I really like the wider feel of those pedals as compared to stock pedals.

Sounds good.

I like how the stock pedals feel. Bigger pedals feel too bulky or something to me, seem to get in the way. And I've seen aftermarket clutch pedals slip off before, causing a missed shift.
