Thanks for the compliments guys, means a lot.

When I first got the car it was pretty dirty, engine had never really been cleaned.. I got some purple power sprayed it, and power washed it two times, then I have simple greened/409ed most of it once or twice depending on how bad areas were with dirt and grime...after that I went back over it with some interior cleaner that makes your vinyl shine.

You will get your hands cut up trying to get into all the areas, well at least I did because I can't just clean it where you see it, I need it ALL clean whether its visible or not haha..

@dubz - I am actually on 15's believe it or not. Alot of the cd guys say the rims are too small but I am pulling a different stance as you can see. I am lowered on skunk2 coilover sleeve kit and struts. My front is 3 threads up from the bottom, and my back is a little less then half way giving it the rake, and making my rear tires show the offset a little more.

rims are 15x8 +15mm on a 195/50 Falken, no spacers. no rubbing.

Any more questions feel free to ask.

-G

This shows how low I sit. My tires are smaller so I don't tuck as much as others, but she sits pretty low.

I'm also getting an Axel back for my civic Tomorrow morning. Cant wait!
No its not a fart can. I picked the muffler out. Oval style and an exhaust tip too. 3.5 inch tip. Looks good, not too big, not too small. I'll keep you updated with some pics when its done!

Hey 96ej since I am on the 2 week waiting period do I wait to put the squad in my sig or do I rock it right now?

Benny- where do you live?

Sounds like a nice exhaust, you guys might hate on me but I love the 'fart can' look. But I rock the real stuff. HKS or Apexi - hopefully going to get the HKS on my accord with custom 2.5 from cat back, with a slight angle. I think its sexy as hell, but its also expensive as hell lol.

But still debating since I am automatic though...any opinions?

I'm stationed in Idaho right now.
I wanted a Greddy exhaust, but too pricy right now.
i'll settle for a custom axelback antil i put a b20 VTEC in it.
That will come tax time.
