New to the site and new to the Honda world as my username states.. Still a Jeep guy but making the transformation to the darkside. I have a 96 Civic EX coupe with a D16Y8 and an automatic . Thus far have done APC altezzas, Injen short ram intake and a set of 17" Konig Tantrums. Looking for another Y8 to build as I am a mechanic by trade. Ordering Ground Controls and Koni yellows ans extended top hats next week so I can put it on its nuts. My name is Eric BTW.

Gave her a good cleaning, tossed the Konigs on with the altezzas. Looks much better so far.

Need to get her closer to the ground, but it all takes time and research to get the right parts..

The wheels look a little too big, but the taillights are definitely killing it.

^^I'm with that guy, 99-00 tails would look much more clean. But it's your car man, if you like it, rock it!

Welcome aboard!

Eh i like the wheels if they have the right ride height haha and i agree go with the stock tailights...the aftermarket tails dont look as good on civics anymore. Specially mine! Haha gonna get mine changed eventualy to the oem 99-00 hatchback style so ur not alone. If you still have the original tails slap em back in yah i saw those in that first pic hahaha anyway welcome to the site mann glad uve come to the "dark side' lmao

i would definatly get new tails, definatly slam it on its nuts, do the intake, header and exhaust, toss a lip on, paint the sideskirts to match, and get smaller rims, i would say 15's would look great.. then you will have a ROTM worthy exterior in my opinion..
