My new 08 Civic EX

COS · 05-28-2008, 10:20 PM

Hey everybody, I am brand new here. I just picked up my 2008 Honda Civic EX last week. This is not my first Civic, but I have been out of the game for quite a while now, so any input will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the dirty pics everyone. I just took these real quick, but I was sure you all knew what a stock black Civic looked like. I will take some better pics once I have a chance and something on there worth snapping a few shots of. Thanks for looking, everyone.

Nice car, have any mods planned out?

congrats and welcome to the site

Thank you, I actually ordered a set of wheels last week. They are on backorder everywhere I have looked, so I went to the place with the best price, and they said I should have them early to mid July. What do you think?

Thank you very much. Btw, your car is pretty incredible.

Those rims will look hot. Black on black looks good, just keep it nice and clean.

Do you have the leather interior? I know up here in Canada you can only get the 2008 EX in leather. The leather interior is cool, but feels weird in a civic.

A sexy black car needs some sexy dark tint to round out the "Knight Rider" look. Welcome to the 8th!

Thank you, I will post some pics once they are here.

Its actually a cloth interior, the leather option was pretty expensive at the dealership so i opted out. I did get a chance to see the leather option, it was awesome. But in the desert it gets to be pretty warm in the car, so leather is a bit uncomfortable... However, on my 2002 civic, there was a place down here that did an aftermarket, full leather, kit. My friend actually had one and it was around $1000-$1200, I had one on order but I would up getting rid of the car. The kit was awesome, though.

Thanks, you have any suggestions? The dealer had this tinted, but its not very dark, as you can tell.

I think that should look good, and also, the company I am ordering them from, told me that if I was interested in some springs they would d/c it for me because I had to wait so long for the wheels. Anyone have any ideas on a good drop? I want something that will also give me a fair amount of performance. I have no idea which route to go.

does the law there in AZ require for you to cut out the tint for the third break light? Or did you just feel like you had to do it?

Like i said, the dealer did that. I have not really seen it done before. I was planning on getting the tint redone regardless, this does not seem dark enough to me. The cops here are pretty bad, though. I had a jeep before this, I got pulled over at least once a month for one reason or another, more often than not it was for something like "No Mud Flaps" or something stupid like that. So i would not be surprised. Any suggestions on how dark to go?
