Default My Pride and Joy PICS!

I have been on here for about a month now and really havent posted much and have waited until my car runs perfect and looks as perfect as it can with out spending any thing yet.

My plans are to get black integra leather seats, some cheapo pep boyz 15's, kenwood 3 ways up front and 4 ways in the back, front and rear jdm lip, 99 bumper, yellow foglights, exhaust tip. How does that sound?

Thats what an engine bay looks like after about 2 hours of work, I still need to paint the valve cover.

Clean 4 door! I love sedans when they're done right and all your plans sound great, except the wheels... Don't get cheapy Pep-Boys wheels, look into some Drag wheels; they look great and aren't expensive at all.

When you say exhaust tip do you mean taking off the muffler and adding a resonator? Or just getting a chrome tip or something? Being loud gets very old very fast...

Edit: Don't get pep boys. I like my rota slipstream 15's, and they weren't very expensive.

You should really reconsider your wheel choice! You have a clean car, and those wheels would ruin it! Look into some Drag or Rota wheels, they are almost all good choices. To give you an idea of what clean wheels look like, check out the DR16s, DR20s, DR21s, DR23s, DR24s, DR27s, DR29s, Slipstreams, Grids, GT3s, Flashbacks, Jmags, Track Rs, J Spls, D2s, and RBs. And don't get wheels over 16 inches, anything bigger looks out of proportion on Civics and it will ruin your ride quality.

Well Im really looking for 14's to keep the tires I have on it. They are really good and like brand new so I dont want to let them go to waste. I havent found many wheels that are 14's, if you know of some drags that are 14's please let me know.

not to sound like an a$$ but 17s dont really ever look good on civics and i dont like yours. 16s imo are the biggest you should good, 15s being the best size.
