96 MILANO RED EK COUPE BUILD THREAD
So i've been wanting to make a build thread for a long time. I've put together a few cars that i wish i documented so i'm goin to take the time to do it now. Please shoot me your opinions on the cars looks and advice u may have.
Im building my 1996 Civic EX coupe. I got the car bone stock back in Nov, 2010. She wasn't much to look at... it did come with a Yakima bike rack tho.
Miss matching hub caps and all lol. Within a day i lowered the car with Skunk2 sleeve overs on tokico blue shocks and threw on some white w/polished lip Rota Track R's . Also put on spoon rep mirrors, my sticker'd up wink mirror, 350 mm deep dish steering wheel, EM1 cluster, black gsr front seats and black civic floor mats.
I also did a lil work to the bay. It was dirty and stock. I cleaned up the bay a lil, painted the VC and threw on a CF whales ***** and front strut.
I decided to sell the bike rack cuz everyone here has one lol. I got ahold of a OEM sunroof visor for cheap and found a OEM CTR front grill. Also I changed rims a couple times becuz i was tired of the Track R's ( i've had 2 sets) tried some 16's and also gsr blades but wasn't really feelin either...
Didn't really do much to the car for a month or so then i decided to paint the spoon rep mirrors to match car and also installed 00 tail lights.
Kept car this way for another couple weeks then i got ahold of 32mm 5 lug conversion and 15" staggared offset SSR Reverse mesh. I had previously owned these and sold them to my homie and then he sold them back. Also got my hands on Omni full coilovers and OEM mudguards. I installed these a couple days ago and this is how my car sits today.
I need to get front and rear camber kits to fully take advantage of the offset. I should have those installed in about a week. I also have a JDM ITR swap waiting to be put in the car which will hopefully be done this weekend. I'll be doin a headlight harness tuck and a minor engine harness tuck when ITR is swapped. I plan on adding a OEM SIR front lip, OEM window visors, CTR headlights and then get car painted.
Thats about it for now... i'll updated this thread as more updates happen to the car. Let me kno wat u think.

So yesterday I ended up painting the Omni lcas silver and I also installed rear camber kits on my car and pulled in the rear wheels a lil. Looks flush now!
I ordered Omni front camber kit and OEM sir front lip now jus playin the waiting game on those parts. I'll take some pics of the rear stance and lcas installed later today.
