lol dont plastidip it , it doesnt last that long and is terrible to remove
id $500 single stage it before plastidip or just have the hood/individual panels painted and reinstalled
Has anyone heard of or used BMTune?

It looks like this guy is actively developing it, which is a plus compared to the other folks making tuning software. I still believe Hondata is just rationing features they knew they "had" for the past 10-15 years, and Crome is dead (but still works), so this might be an OK option?
nice to see all the old stuff still works!Still haven't touched the door... Lol.
I did buy a car seat, got it installed, and took my wife and daughter out for a spin. After some reluctance, we drove on a main road and went to a local gas station to get some drinks and snacks like it was 1999 again. The lack of unbroken door panels really irks my wife, so I just ordered two aluminum door panels from lrbspeed.com and they should be here sometime in the next 5 weeks.
I think then I'll vinyl wrap the Aluminum to keep it from being too "race car" looking, and then I'll have a solid winner here on the homestead. I just have to fix the door speaker and window...
Got in some playing around with Crome, which aside from being buggy with an Ostrich 1.0, it's not bad. I got a halfway-decent driving tune for the engine done based on a d16z6 tune. It now actually drives better with that than it does the OBD2 p2p ecu. Now it's just time to get a wideband thrown in, get someone else to drive it around, and smooth it all out. Data logging on crome sucks compared to hondata, but it's so much cheaper, I'll take it. I'm not going to be able to do the final turbo tune myself anyway, so NBD.
I started looking at paint, and I think single-stage tractor paint is going to win this one. Then, I'll paint the LS mesh wheels in a matching/complementary color.
That's not too bad for an "Si". lolCurrently, the total sunk cost in this car is $2069.
A turbo'd Civic Si used to be the shit, and very likely to get stolen. At least now you'd be the first person to not lose a shitload of money if anything ever happened to it.I just don't want to roll around in a 20-year old turbo civic with too many race-car-looking parts and attract unwanted attention.

LS mesh look great on an EK Civic. I have a powder-coated set on my 2000 sedan.
