haha yeah i know but i didn't want to start a thread until i had a little more then just rims and tires. come spring everythings getting put on and i'm going to go picture happy!

 

[GiveMeFreeStuff]

Very nice car! Definitely in for pics with the HFP Suspension!

 

[JEA86]

JDM emblems is a must on TW

 

[obert]

Nice rides and pics.:thumb:

 

[JeShUa]

Why get rid of the LX?

I like the HFP wheels 200x better than those weird ones you had on.

 

[PrEgO CaNe]

i think i'm going to try a different idea instead of the jdm emblems

Why get rid of the LX?
I like the HFP wheels 200x better than those weird ones you had on.

power
handling
sun roof
rear disc brakes
spoiler
black interior
etc. lol
have to admit i got a lot more compliments and looks driving my lx then i do my si. SO FAR!
yeah when i got them i was questioning them. finally i got fed up of looking for used HFP so i just went and bought new ones. LOVE the look of them.

 

[PrEgO CaNe]

updated!

 

[civicsidoug]

your car is the ying of my yang. love the car though. redded out tails look good on white just as good as on black. maybe get the clear third brake light? i smoked mine out. and get the flat black lip overlay for the front! love the car though

 

[PrEgO CaNe]

i like the red lights in the back, but i really like the look of the overlay. doesn't blue bat sell them?

 

[FA5SI]

Looks good! Keep it clean man!

 

[civicsidoug]

i like the red lights in the back, but i really like the look of the overlay. doesn't blue bat sell them?

yeah i like the redded out tails on the white and black fg2's but i smoked my red third brake light to be a lil different and it blends in reallly good u cant tell it is there until i hit the brakes. thats why i think if u got the 09 brake like it would blend very well.

and yes blue batmobile sells them. i like it a lot on the white. there are soo many things u can do to ur car that i cant. example...the front lip overlay, clear fogs would look good on urs, jdm emblems with custom graffixexpressions overlay(white), and instead of having the headlights black instead u can do white, and white rims.

those are just some options and things ive seen. but i love the car man.

i think each color has there benefits. thats what made it hard to choose which color. i got the grafixpressions overlay in white but the white doesn't match the body color very well so i don't think it would look good. i plan on just getting it filled in and painted. when you say clear fogs, what do you mean? i have the oem fogs. (actually planning on installing them tomorrow.) but they are clear.

oo i see i like the flat black overlay on the white and silver coupes. but what i mean by clear fogs is the oem ones not yellow or smoked which apparently u have haha. the clear oem fogs only look great on the white coupes. maybe get 6000k-8000k low beams and fogs? i think thatd look great.

thats just my opinion. im going for the clean look with my car, no i vtec stickers anymore, no stickers anywhere and debadged the civic emblem

We bought our cars on the same day. :thumb:

That LX was clean......

i hope that link will work. but that is my car if u are curious to take a look. are u thinking about a drop too? im dropped on the eibach pro kit. i love it, the ride is very close to stock actually better over small bumps and i know it wont blow my shocks
