And I also got pissed and kicked one of my hubs and broke it when I saw that I had a flat....So now I'm riding around with these ghetto-azz fake crome hubs that look like shiz (I put them on when I got the car, but now I hate them), just because I don't want to ride with just my steelies.[:'(]

RE: Worst thing you have done to your civic
this'll be a long list
1) spending $485 on a fiberglass body kit
2) spending $150 on fibergass z3 fenders
3) driving around for 3 months with an upainted white kit and unpainted green fenders
4) spray-painting the body kit and fenders black
5) spending $160 on projector headlights (I'm not saying I don't love them, but that money could've been spent better elsewhere)
6) getting curb marks on my 17's two days after I got them... damn ******* that ran me off the road [:@]
7) Getting dual exhausts to match my kit
8) Being too lazy to take the duals off right away when I pulled the kit
9) Trimming my stock rear bumper to fit dual exhausts
10) Driving around with a stock-bodied civic with duals
11) The bright blue interior
12) Spending $90 on a 3D aluminum guage bezel
13) Spending $90 on fake aluminum interior trim
14) Buying aluminum pedal covers
15) The two sets of underligths I went through
16) Driving around with a fartpipe on stock tubing (and I still am
)
17) Doing a s***ty tint job on the rear windows
18) Not doing rust repair as soon as I noticed my rust spots... which are now terribly rusted to the point that I had to zip-tie the sides of the rear bumper to the car
19) Ripping off my side moulding because I wanted to shave the mouldings... never really got around to actually shaving them
20) Spending $40 on a ricer light display (narrow-band air/fuel), $30 on a voltmeter, and $30 on a double-guage pillar pod
21) Wrecking it three times (me having too much fun and/or driving too fast all three times)
22) Cracking my ABS mugen-style front lip three times (same spot), supergluing it (and partially melting the plastic back together) each time, and finally shattering it.
23) Spending $90 on a rear lip that I didn't really need
24) Selling my almost-new DNX muffler (one from the duals) for like $30 when I paid $85 for it
25) selling a perfectly good set of streetglow underlights for $50
26) Doing donuts for 15 minutes until the cops showed up... ended up getting hit with a $107 careless driving fine
27) all the half-assed projects I started with the car and never finished
28) Not keeping half my stock parts (muffler, exhaust manifold, shift ****, etc)... now when I go to trade my car in, it won't be 100% stock, so I'm not going to get as much for it
29) Modifying an automatic
That's all I can think of right now
Hopefully I'll do a little better on the Integra if I get it [8D]
(by the way, if you do the math, that's just under $1200 I wasted on the car in things I can think of... I'm sure there's another $500 or so in things that I can't think of off-hand)
*edit: RICE PICS!!!

RE: Worst thing you have done to your civic
oh my eyes....I need to wash them out with alcohol now....it happens man, almost everyone goes through something they wish they never would have done...as long as you learn from your mistakes. hehe
worst thing I've done is a) not take off the tinted altezzas as soon as I bought it and 2) break the front lip the first week it was on the car (thankfully it came with the car and it wasn't a good one)...I might try some epoxy/melting it together and see how that works for a while. Only because I wanna make sure I can get used to having the front that low before I pay for a nice front lip.[8D]

RE: Worst thing you have done to your civic
buying that little ebay rpm gauge, damn thing broke after the first week[>:] (Although, It works now, only because i took it apart to fix it[&:]) I should of instead bought another autometer gauge to make all the gauges match lol
RE: Worst thing you have done to your civic
That was pretty fun. I was driving in some rain and skidded into the guy in front of me at an intersection. Didn't get ticketed, though. Got rebuilt, still on the road today.
