92civicEX Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Hey everyone, here's a pic of my ride so far: http://myspace-865.vo.llnwd.net/01395/56/88/1395178865_l.jpg I decided to tackle the sound system first, so that took up a lot of my money. Since the pic, I have put an actual stock civic spoiler on that I painted white (lol to that little lip thing). So far the only mods I have made have been mostly visual (headlights/taillights, vinyl, painting things white, 17" white ADR wheels), but I have also put a cold air intake and muffler on. My next step is either going to be buying full skunk2 coilover suspension/camber kit and dropping it 2", OR getting header/exhaust. I'd like to turbo it, most likely wouldn't be allowed. Anyhow, let me know what you think.

Anyhow, let me know what you think. I'm not trying to be rude but this is my opinion... I think its WAY to ricey 1. Never anything bigger than 16" wheels on any honda 2.Stick with one clean color, save vinyls for fast and furious. 3.Never put any chrome on your ride, example.. Taillights. Keep em OEM, or JDM. If I was you I would have used all the money for performance. In my eyes performance comes first. What do you think when a beater lookin ride pulls up next to you at the light and just pulls on ya? Damn I wish i would have done more to my motor. To each his own do what YOU want to with your car.
cranny Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 ahh its not too bad. looks ok. lower it dude.
CleanGSR Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 If it wasn't for the adidas stripe and clear tails, it wouldn't be too bad. Change those 2 and drop it and it would look really nice.
airjordan223 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 yeah not a vinyl fan either. you should red out those tails or something and drop it. either way its your style, so if you like it, keep it
Hatch92 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 not bad. i would lose the stripe and drop it but atleast drop it.
Pballer2005 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 get the drop and loose the stripes. i like the rims and the color of teh car isn't bad. needs different tail lights though, i don't like chrom tailights. get a lip kit.
VictorFreeze Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Well since you are getting everyone's opinion, i might as well throw in my 2 cents I like the car. I like graphics on cars but unless you are sponsored by adidas then i would take off the stripes and add something a little different. And if you are sponsored by adidas then you need another stripe, lol. And i am a body kit kinda guy so i would throw a kit on it. But that's my opinion because thats my taste in imports. But do whatever you want since it is your car.
92civicEX Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah, haha I got this car right after my 16th birthday (last august). I got pretty excited and rushed into doing things to it. The only problem was I didn't have much cash left from buying it, so the only mods I made were ones that didn't cost much. I might have over-done it a little bit... but I don't regret anything I've done. I think it still looks classy. I actually dig the vinyl. I think it ties the white/red theme together a lot more. I had to keep the design simple enough becuase I did it myself... and thats what I decided on. Thanks for the input tho guys, appreciate it. I miss my wheels (haha ridin' on steelies 'till spring) B.T.W. Does anyone know of any really simple looking body kits? I would like to get one, but the only ones I can find are completey huge/overdone/ridiculous. I'm just looking for a simple front bumber maybe a single mesh panel.
92civicEX Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 yeah not a vinyl fan either. you should red out those tails or something and drop it. either way its your style, so if you like it, keep it "red out the taillights"? what do you mean? like but red tint over them (I've heard of people doing stuff like that).... or just put the stock ones back on haha?

I would like to get one, but the only ones I can find are completey huge/overdone/ridiculous. I'm just looking for a simple front bumber maybe a single mesh panel. get a lip kit, really simple yet clean and "classy". ur car lowered with a lip kit would look very nice. just look around on google
92civicEX Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 get a lip kit, really simple yet clean and "classy". ur car lowered with a lip kit would look very nice. just look around on google I do agree, those are sick. The only one I've ever noticed was just like screwed into the bumper... and was kind of hanging off. Is there a way to instal them a little more professionally?
airjordan223 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 you could mold them on with bondo and repaint so it look slike one piece
92civicEX Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 you could mold them on with bondo and repaint so it look slike one piece I'll keep that in mind. I'm looking for something similiar to your kit jordan... simple with some mesh. Any kit names/styles come to mind?
CleanGSR Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Those are some sweet adidas. I'd go for a different color, but those are pimp.
airjordan223 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I'll keep that in mind. I'm looking for something similiar to your kit jordan... simple with some mesh. Any kit names/styles come to mind? heres a bunch mines a C West front
VictorFreeze Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Damn those are some expensive kits If i'm gonna spend that kinda money on body pieces then i would rahter get carbon fiber
coolcat467 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 They are expensive because they aren't crapty.
VictorFreeze Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 That must be true but i would still rather buy carbon sh.t then a $1000 body kit
airjordan223 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 yeah just look through those to see which one you want. then search on google for that specific kit. my kaminari rear was expensive, but its really high quality and required zero modification to fit, bolted right up just like oem.
