So officially been on this thing for 10minutes

Honestly, I only joined b/c I was sick of my bf always being on his hhr forum so I thought i'd join my own... and here I am.

I have an 07 honda civic coupe... she has about 12k miles on her.
I wanna do something to make her different because I hate being the same as everyone else, but i don't want to spend a lot of money (I'm cheappp!!)
anyways, I'm open to suggestions.


-I'd be happy if anyone responded to this.. ha ha

Thanks ya'll!!

Remember if you take off the back H that you'll need plugs to fill in the holes, and what about a different Grill instead?

You could also put in lowering springs to give her a sleeker look. Tinted windows possibly?

Just ideas, and welcome to HCF

Um lowering springs can come in all different prices just don't go Ebay brand. Here's a Sticky on some reviews of some springs and shocks / coilovers. Since you live in the states Ebay will be the cheapest place for you to look for them, but they're are a few sites I just don't know them off the top of my head.

I'm not sure if you plan on tinting your driver, and passenger windows, but if you do you might want to check what level of tint you can get away with if any. You should also remember darker the tint harder it is to see at night and having a dark interior will make it seem alot darker also.

I wouldn't worry about your tint being too dark. I can see fine and mine is super dark. When removing the "H" be careful you might break one of the things that makes it stay in the plugs. You can always just buy a new one on ebay for really cheap and then when you paint it take it off and put the new one on. A grill would be a good choice as well. you can find one for cheap on ebay as well. Just make sure you dont get one that won't fit your car.

Have you thought about rims possibly? I know they might be a little pricey but it will give your car a nice look. I would def get her lowered tho.
