By amber they mean the "amber" (orange) turn signal. In other words, they mean you should get these

for tails id go with just a simple red/white one. you can get lowering springs for around $150-200. ebay is ok just check feedback and go with a reputable company.

lol I like the tails, and the color a lot.....Man, looking atyour carI can't wait till I can really wash my car and wax/polish it.

Looks great, good condition you got it in!![sm=smiley20.gif]

The rims you got now aren't bad.... Rim pricesall depend on the size and what kind of metal(chrome being one of most $$$). For your car I would suggest going with 15". 16"+ would mean altering your car which would cost extra $$$. So for good rims that size generally 700-900 dollars w/tires(if you stay with the 14" you won't need new tires). I plan on just painting my rims once it gets warmer here. There like these except with a black H center cap, I'll prolly get dif center caps too.

Depends on how much loot you got and if you want to put it mostly towards performance or looks. If your going to lower it and put lips on, there is the clearance issue. But if your where it's flat and you don't get frost heaves and crap[:@]it'll look really nice and help a little for it's performance.


P.S. Go the way you want to go man, have fun with your car

I might be crazy, but it looks like you got 2 different types of tint on that bad boy, I would think about matching one of them.

i am pickey like that though, might not bother you. or it might just be the camera angle hell I don't know.

Hondas at stock ride height look stupid, lower it!

Lowering your car (on a decent suspension, no 35 dollar ebay coilovers!!) is going to give you a bigger improvement than anything else, with the exception of F/I

better handling, better looks as far as lowering goes

Lip kits are strictly for looks, not for lowing your car

debadging makes your car look symetrical and clean, not alot of decals. I asked the same question, i'm totally proud to drive a Civic and didn't understand why you'd want to lose the badges. I thought about it and did a chop using the computer and it totally changed my mind, i debadged a few weeks ago

as for the tails, i was talking white/reds justl ike mine (look at my photo gallery) without the orange on them

and sorry about the last couples posts, it was a Saturday night and i was having a good ol' time

Well, when you're trying to sell a car you usually want to keep stock bumpers and such because it's more difficult to sell a car with a massive wing and crazy after market bumpers. On the same note, wouldn't debadging lower resale value? Or is it too minor for anyone to really care?

Thanks alot for all the suggestions and compliments guys
The main consideration about the tails (that I'm sure everyone realized) is that on my car, the tail lights are much larger than, say, FlipHKD720's.
So it sounds like the general consensus is that I should lose the tails, lower it with a nice set of springs, and get new rims.
I've had one suggestion for 15"ers, does everyone else agree? Is 1" big enough of a difference?

New questions:
-Chrome liscense plate frame, yay or nay?
-sorry im a noob, but whats an F/I?

1" drop? That might not be worth it once you see it, I think... For me I am going to do it about 1.5 - 2" ish or so when I get better rims...
