Default Take Your Pic on The 99 civic Ex

alright so were stock besides the vertical doors and the lip kit.

Heres a few questions..i want to fix my car to show quality..so opinions please im new to tha site

1. My Lip Kit on the front was messed up and the back is loose, when they did the car it was done by 2 sides tape and obviously the person wasnt that great at their job, so would you stick with the same style get another lipkit and redo the whole car or get a body kit?
Me personally i think lipkits look better, but let me know, the pluses and negatives.

2. Paint-
My car is red currently, im looking to paint it Vtec Blue or get it 2 tones From Pin stripe up black and pin stripe down bright blue.
Whats your take on this, keep it red, or paint it blue, or give me better options, like i said i want this to stand out but be reasonable in price as well.

3. Wheels-
IF i keep it red i want black motegi wheels, if i get it vtech blue i want black wheels. Maybe gold wheels?
Any thoughts on what looks the best, and what would u get and on what color paint?

4. hood-
Go Carbon Fiber or Viper style air ram hood.
im more into the viper style,
But depending on the color i get and what i do with the body and wheels.
let me know your opinion

5. spoiler
i have spoiler on the back, not sure if its stock but its decent, would you stick with it or get a west wings style maybe?

Thanks guys, please flood in tha posts on this and help me out ive got a lot of money and wanna spend it accordingly the best way possible exterior wise.

first there isn't a Vtec blue, also i've removed your email address if you're looking for parts please make a want to buy thread in the proper section.

and from the sound of it just get a lip ki, the C/f hood and wheels then call it a day for looks.

Ugh - lambo doors. Aren't those things obnoxious? My recommendation would be to don't worry so much about exterior and MAKE it fast before making it LOOK fast. I'll give you my opinion about what you wanted, but it's going to be in a speed sense of mind.

1. The lip kit looks goofy. I was never a fan of body kits and lip kits, a car being slammed on the ground with OEM bumpers looks sexy enough to me. That and they chip and break way too easily.

2. Colour - Red is good, but a two tone would look nice. Chamalean paint, done right, can look awesome too.

3. Rims - Anything NOT chrome is good imo. Those 8 spoke white rims you have look pretty nice though, why change them?

4. Get a carbon fiber hood with a hood scoop. Just don't those stupid hood pins, they look ridiculous.

5. Wings look WAY too ricey... get a nice size spoiler, the stock ones and the ones a little bit bigger than those great on civics

But honestly, if you have so much money to use get something that will make your quicker. Slight exterior upgrades are fine, and definitely needed but if you roll up to a guy and look like you want to race you're going to get smoked if you don't upgrade your engine. But hey, that's assuming you want to spend that money on YOUR car, why not spend it on mine?

I think the lip kit goes well, I would just get a type R grill and lower it then paint.
