Tubbith Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The main opinion your going to get on here is to keep it looking stock, and just clean it up a bit. No one here really likes bodykist and all that, so if that is what your looking for, you probably wont get much from us on this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and you are the only ones here that have an 05 coupe AFAIK. In fact, most of the vehicles on this site are 2000 and older. I don't know what exactly you mean by standing out, but I personally try to keep mine as stock/clean looking as possible. Tint/wheels would be the best 2 cosmetic upgrades you could start with. What color is yours btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3gach33zy Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well i'm in a silver one. I wanted to either paint it and go black or an onyx color. Tint's are probably what i'm goin to go for first because its the cheapest. and as for like body stuff idk i'm not 100% into body kits really but i like them because it makes you look a little diffeent. I like the looks of this one but the rear doesnt appeal to me. Then i was wondering about carbon fiber parts too. I was thinking of a CF hood but i'm not sure how it'll look. I cant really find anyone who has anything done to an 05 coupe. if you can show me some stuff that people have done that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 That body kit is decent. A little too much for me though. This is more or less what I'm shooting for... A CF hood would be nice...I'm considering it, but not for a while Look for VIS or SEIBON, not imitations People don't tent to mod newer cars as much because of void warranties and such, but I'm sure you can find more stuff on youtube and google search. I'd recommend some nice 5 spoke wheels in gunmetal, silver, or even white. Check out tirerack to see some previews. Lower it on some good struts and Eibach Sportline springs. What other kind of looks are you going for? Welcome to HF and post pics if you can. Hopefully you stick around, because it's lonely being the only 05 Civic here.

jerrodh Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Firstly welcome to HF! And year basically people here myself included are more for the clean cut look in cars. Theres a few that stray out a bit with the body kits, etc. I'll even admit I'm not against it just wouldn't ever kit my car. Some cars when done up right can look pretty sweet with a nice kit. Like the civic Ryan posted looks pretty damn good IMO. Best bet is to do some research and see what you come up that YOU like. Its your car. And once you find that and if you have questions then we'd be glad to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 IMO your car would look friggin sick with a CF lip, hood, chrome polished rota slip streams, and lowered just enough... and maybe a few touchup things like yellow fogs and HID lights and the video that ryan posted up reminded me why i never liked the EM2 very much... the back looks kind of like a focus bleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do a CF lip, but probably only do a CF hood if I'm converting a lot of things to CF and painting it all. I hate chrome wheels. I'm doing black. They might look good on a silver car though. I've been debating between yellow and clear fogs for a while now. I used to hate yellow ones, but I'm liking them more and more. I'll probably still do clear though, because I want a cleaner look. HIDs maybe wayyyy in the future. And the focus looks like the civic, not the other way around. Only thing I don't like about this generation Civic is it weighs more.
