hey guys ive been on this forum for a few weeks now, its great by the way my questions have been dumb because im just getting into civics but they have been answered and have helped me out a lot

i bought a 1999 civic ex coupe in red everything is stock im not really worried about doing mechanical mods yet just trying to make it look sick

i am open to all opinions and will post up pics if needed the only thing is that the rims must be 14 in. i just got new tires 14 in. and i think it would be dumb to get rid of them for bigger ones two days after i bought them i think rims is probably the first thing to do but you guys would know...

anyway any info and opinions would be much appreciated im kind of on a tight budget but i really want to make this car look sweet

 

- start with a lip kit, maybe a grill, fog lights - I did fog lights , splash guards and a dash kit first

 

post some pics

 

you dont want to do performance? then i would go, drop, wheels, lip kit

in that order

id go with what you wanna do first

just think practical..... dont surpas your budget with your wants....
tho BEFORE MODING ANYTHING id sugest tuning up the car first!
full fluid drain and refill with all new fluids. radiator, oil, tranny fluid, even brake fluid and clutch fluid if manual....
and depending on milage on car..... the timing belt and water pump....
ya dont want to spend a bunch of money on rims and other mods and then have something simple fail! and be broke to fix it!


just get it mechanicaly sound and ready for winter season changes...

 

I'm not really into body kits.. I'd say drop, tinted windows, custom lights. Then I'd get 15 or 16 inch wheels. Lots of nice wheels in these sizes but in 14 inch.. if you want other wheels you'll have to get stock wheels off another car, like from an acura.

 

SUSPENSION FIRST.

and one thing. please dont get rims before you drop it. civics look bad not dropped with rims.

 

If no performance, then x3
