That's pretty much what I'll be doing. Using the stock height inlets, although the bumper will extend 2-3" further forwards to smooth the transition from bumper to hood. Its just too bad I can't make the duct have smoother transitions. A few years ago, I would have just cut the front crash bar, but not now.
I really wanted to try the 165's, but they just aren't rated for enough weight for my car. I forgot about the B381's. I didn't know those were oem on the first gen civic hybrid, I remember my dad saying his stock tires on his first gen civic hybrid sucked, they wandered over any little irregularity in the road. I wonder if those were the same tires. As you saw in the .org thread, my moms Kia got good gains going to the Ecopia's, and the car handles better.
