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

i want hids but i'm really debating on getting the headlights and foglights retrofitted with a projector so buying a plug & play kit would just be a waste of money right now.
i plan to take the i vtec sticker off the side. fought so hard to get it put on but i think it looks cleaner without. rear civic badge got taken off like the second day i owned it.

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

i actually have the HFP suspension sitting in my house waiting for the spring to install it. i went with that cause it's not much of a drop (living in one of the worst pothole cities probably in the world lol) so i could go with anything lower cause it is my DD in the summer. and it improves the handling by a lot so i'm excited to feel the difference. but yeah a drop HAD to happen!

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

That LX was clean......

thats kinda neat!
yeah i really liked my lx, but everyday i would see a si go by and i would really wish i had one. to the point where mine didn't seem so special. but i have to admit. i was driving around one day and i saw my old car and i'm telling you it definitely stands out from all the rest. too bad the dealer had to take off the rear tail light tint. i think that makes the car stand out even more from all the rest.

yeah i just noticed your civic emblem was off haha. but yeah i made the dealers put my i vtec sticker on too but then took it off and looks way better.
the hfp suspension is actually a good drop. and for a dd i understand because im the same way goin through potholes like crazy. but holding out to get retrofitted is a good idea. that is one thing i still want so bad

updated with HFP Sport Muffler and Shift Knob. Can't see the short shifter but it's amazing. i love the new feel. a lot firmer and i love the short throws! install was easy.

**updates including HFP muffler sound clip.**

HID's until you can afford the retro's.
I got mine on ebay for less than $100 each kit. Worked fine over a year already.
They're not too hard to sell either for when the time comes.

lol dang you actually see your old car being driven around. I am starting to feel the urge to trade in my LX for an SI too lol. How much did you get for trade in for your lx? And did you trade it in with all the mods intact still?

 

[J-Ro]

No f-ing way!!! I have the same rims!! Well, at least now I know how they'll look on TW

it had about 20,000km and i traded it with the HFP kit and rims. got about $14,000 CAN

yeah you were the one i based the look on. your 18's on the blue and lowered look way better though.

Um so how much is that in US lol

 

[PrEgO CaNe]

can't really do it that way cause our lx civics are like $23-$25k new so the prices wont make any sense. your best bet is to check out what the same car is going for in your area. i went to the dealer and basically said get me a si and you can have this car lol.

Hmm icic..did you shop around for prices with your trade in or did you do a one stop wonder lol. And after trading in how much left of the SI did you have to pay? (sry for all the questions, cuz this is an idea I might go through with sometime in the future lol)

i lost like $2000 in the trade, but i'm much happier with what i have now. i should have just got a si in the first place and i guess i learned from my mistake.

 

[Hobbez]

Thats cool I kinda bought mine in the spur of the moment cuz my old car broke down and school was starting soon.. but as of now I really wish I had an SI too lol. ahhh

Baaah... don't say that! No more blue car
I think it looks better on white :lildevil:

i think if mine were 18's they would have looked a hell of a lot better. i'm in for pics of yours installed

^ Yeah I gotta get tires first... hopefully I'll have that dealt with by summer.
And I just saw above that you have the HFP exhaust as well?? This is just too weird.... alright, I'm going to have to put my foot down: no red seats for you
