Just bought an 08 civic EX

sushimaster · 06-10-2008, 09:12 PM

Hi all from Houston, Texas. My fiance just bought an 08 Civic EX.
It was between that and the 08 Altima Coupe 4 cyl. Civic won because it had better fuel economy. And we have always owned Hondas.

Mods: First thing I had to do was upgrade the headlights for her. I bought and installed Xenon Depot 4300K HID's. Since I had the bumper removed, I also took this opportunity to remove the intake resonator. And I upgrade the factory horn with that from my 2002 Acura CL type S. The horn just plugged right in without any trouble.
Also, I ordered for her a factory nose bra and all season weather mats.

Hope you enjoy the pics. It was freshly washed and waxed with Meguiar's NXT wax.

nice what part of houston you stay at

I'd recommend selling the actual bra and investing in a Clear-Bra. It does the same thing, and it isn't visible. You have a beautiful car, and I understand why you want to keep it that way, but the Clear Bra is the way to go!

Thanks everyone for your input/welcome.
My fiance likes the bra.
So we're keeping it on.

Personally, I think it looks fine.

She's going to be commuting alot to school on the freeway, so the bra is also functional to prevent rock chips from those big 18 wheelers that she's going to be driving behind. That was the most important factor behind it. Cheers.
