I figured that after 3+ years of owning Clifford, it's finally time for one of these even though I don't have many pics of the actual installation process of my mods...hope you enjoy anyway. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

I bought my car brand new in February of 2007 and the only "mod" on the car was window tint at the time. I knew not an ounce about cars except how to change the oil and I had absolutely NO plans for modding it when I made my big purchase. With the help of 8thcivic and my Team High Rev family, I've been convinced out of a couple ricey mods I'm ashamed to say I previously got myself into (THANK YOU!) and have learned an insane amount of info about my car, how to do installs, what looks good and what doesn't, ect. Since then, I have made the following changes in this order:

(Oldest to newest)
1. 12" Infinity subwoofer (2007)
2. Alpine amplifier (2007)
3. hardwired Valentine One radar detector (2008)
4. Tenzo Type M wheels - black with red lip (2008)
5. Kumho Ecsta ASX tires (2008)
6. painted break calipers red (2008)
7. 1.4" drop on Eibach Sportline springs (June 2009)
8. white LED's for map lights, dome light, & trunk light (June 2009)
9. Comptech short shifter (June 2009)
10. AEM cold air intake with veins (June 2009)
11. full HFP lip kit (June 2009)
12. 6000K HID headlights (June 2009)
13. yellow fog lights (June 2009)
14. yellow Xenon daytime running lights (July 2009)
15. red/chrome JDM steering wheel badge (July 2009)
16. OEM-style carbon fiber hood (December 2009)
17. Skunk2 shift **** (December 2009)
18. NHBP Si grille (April 2010)
19. red/chrome JDM badge on Si grille (April 2010)
20. carbon fiber e-brake (June 2010)
21. hood bra (July 2010)
22. VIS Mugen style rear lip (January 2011)
23. 17x9 +38 matte bronze Desmond Regamaster wheels & 235/40 Hankook tires (March 2011)
24. red P2R throttle body spacer (April 2011)
25. cleared fog light lenses with Lexan (April 2011)
26. Mugen window visors (March 2012)


I'm done with modding now....gotta save money for a new ride. :biggrin:

Nice to see an FA project. Looking good!

 

I'm not a fan of 8th gens, but that car really looks good.

 

I was thinking almost the same thing, never really liked them but i'm loving yours. I'm glad i know they can look better then they do off the lot. Keep it up!

 

amazing looking car and you picked the right color car too keep up the good work and update more often as i love it

 

Nice ride...i normally dont like the lip kits on the 8th gens but it looks semi good on urs haha okay its looks awesome im just jealous cause i dont have one haha but i love the tail lights on these models tho...just straight up good designing on Hondas part haha anyway nice mods to the civ and ur future mods list sounds like theyll make the car look even sicker, keep up the hard work!

 

Thanks for all the compliments! I actually just sold the CF hood so now I just have the black grille with the red JDM badge...I might get a black bra just for the hood to break up some of the red, but I'm undecided right now.

 

Didn't realize you were still around... what made you ditch the CF hood?

 

Nice 8th gen

 

nice ride what made you drop the hood?
