Dont worry, I get asked this question alot. Here, for the record..

The stickers on the side, I got a discount on my sparco seats and my cam from comp cams if I ran a decal of a certain size. I had nowhere to put them (I hate window banners, very very tacky and overdone imo) so I just had a few made to match and put them on there.

As per the tach, if you didnt know, our stock tach is anywhere from 300-500rpm off generally, mine is 400rpm off. I got the tach because getting the tach + shift light was about a 15 dollar difference between just getting the shift light. So, me being a 5 foot 5 inch person (short) and having a very clear view of the tach while at the strip is far more important than any ricer cliche that anyone thinks about it. Now that i've put the tach on, I wouldnt race without it. And im about to add 3 more gauges too it as a matter of fact, boost, fuel/air ratio, and a voltmeter in the a-pillar.

And btw Grim... the kit is stock.... Rally Sport...

:icon neutral: Well, not too much I can do about it, I dont "love" the kit either, but, being an RS and taking off the bodykit would be a little tacky. It would no longer be a Rally Sport.

Built in shift lights even, you could set them to compinsate for the laggy tach. I got two on my car now adn have one set up as a launch light and the other as my shift light.

Now as for that body kit. I love it cause it gives the early 4th gen a more agressive stance, also it's not liek a bunch of the kits where it replaces the bumper with somthing that makes it look liek a skyline or a civic wannabe. It enhances the origional lines.

Sigh, sadly im not OBD2, im know as the devil year, 1996, OBD 1 1/2 lol. Not everything matches up, I even had to switch to a 1997 PCM because my '96 PCM couldnt be reprogrammed.

Sorry, nothing edited. Hit the wrong button. -logik

Sorry bout the edit, I meant to hit reply. All 1996's were OBD2. Only 1995's GM's were OBD 1.5. If it were OBD 1.5 you wouldn't be able to get the codes read from places such as Advance or Autozone to diagnose problems. 1997+ PCM's in the GM's were more advanced than the 1996, but it was still OBD2, they just had the capability to be tuned.

Yea, I know techinically its not a 1.5, but the only main difference between 95 and 96 would be the connector..
