Default New pics of the ride!! Check 'em out (56K be warned)

Hey guys so I decided that I was going to change the oil today, and afterwards washed it and decided to take some new pictures, since my old pictures were from over a year ago. haha and i've done a lot to the car since then.

I kinda left everybody hangin after I redid my suspension a couple of months ago. So heres the after pics that I've owed everyone. Its not amazing quality, but they are pretty good considering these were taken with my phone.

I got more in my album if you want to see all of them.

and hopefully I will be switching out the wheels within the next month or two. I haven't decided what size yet, but I have narrowed it down to 15" or 16". I have to get rid of these 17s, they rub way too much. and I think that I will be getting Rota Subzeros in steel gray with a polished lip, which are these:

i like your hatch, gotta be one of my favorite hatch. i like the rims, if you want to change them i would go with the 16's. looks good, very clean and shiney. have you consider adding on one of those duckbill spoiler? i think they look good on hatches. btw, what phone you use to take the pictures, best looking camera phones pics i've ever seen. lol

Actually I was looking at getting a Seibon carbon spoon style spoiler with the LED taillight. I love the way they look. thats probably what I will do after I switch out my rims.

and as for the phone its a LG Shine. Its got a 2 megapixel camera so its really not bad. but my old camera that broke was a 5 megapixel, so the phone is still not as good as old pictures that I have taken.

Well this is the only place I have ever lived so I can't really compare it to anywhere else, but I like it here. The summers get pretty hot and humid, but IMO the only time it gets too hot is August. but what I like the most is that winters are not very cold. it will get below freezing every once in a while, but not very often. and its definetely a lot cheaper to live here than it is in a lot of other states.

might want to get a window sun visor during the summer cuz civic a/c systems are not great if the car has been baking in the 100+ degree sun with no visor.

I like how 17's fit on those year civics, not too big or small. How much do you have it dropped? I was thinking about getting some kyb shocks with H&R springs. 1.75" F and 1.5" rear drops. I have 17's also, but if yours are the same would mine rub also?

I have Eibach Sportline springs which are supposed to be 1.8 front and rear, with some KYB AGX shocks. Rides awesome and is really tight, and handles really good. and it really depends on the wheel if they will rub. I don't have any problems rubbing with vertical travel. only time I have issues is when I am turning really hard, which is pretty rare for me, or turning the wheels all the way like if i'm pulling in to a parking spot.

but my wheels are kind of wierd. they are supposed to be 17x7 and the back is stamped with a 17x7, but when you actually measure the wheel is is 8 in wide because the polished lip sticks out about an inch. so i'm sure that most people with 17's dont have any problems.

I'm not exactly sure. depends on how much tread life is on the tires when I get around to getting the new ones. The wheels alone are worth about $130 each new. so i'll prolly ask somewhere between 300 - 400 with whats left on the tires. plus shipping if necessary.
