Headliner was F**Ked up so my buddy and I went to Hobby lobby and re did the headliner and i got a deal on a wink mirror for $10 xD

The car was a little do high, so my boy from cali told me he give me a good deal on some Skunk 2 Springs. They will do for now, Im looking to get some Skunk 2 Coilovers by May, the Car Sits to high still with lowering Springs.

I got tired of looking at the old head lights and and grill that had no H emblem so i picked up these black housing headlights for cheap and a replica type R, they are aftermarket but the fitment was decent


Found a Mugen lip for the sedan off CL dirt Cheap as well. As for the Tacky Jdm License Plate idk i like it, A Cop pulled me over and he liked it

So little Mods made the car look decent, I wasnt feeling the factory hubcaps so i called up my boy and gave me a sick deal on some enkei 92 with tires and NRG Lugz

Are you planning on keeping it auto with the swap? Is that possible?

mitchh29

Yeah tell your fiance to drive better or get their own car and swap it to a manual while your at it. What kind of woman can't drive manual anyway? My wife is one of the best drivers I know, that's why she's such a catch haha.

Mr. Bojangles

That rear view mirror is huge!!! Can you see into the past with that thing?

-1 on wink mirror

Get ready to have a shitty ride on s2 coilovers. Anybody I have known to have s2 coilovers, have had some or all blow within the first year of riding at your current heigth or lower. If you have the dinero to waste on s2's....why not just invest in something of better quality and rep?

EDIT: Are you talking 1-pc's or sleeves?....

Car looks good nonetheless....not a big fan of cheapo exterior mods doe.

sohc_PhaZe

Hmm which coilovers do u suggest, ive rode on skunk 2 lowering springs and tokiko shocks and they lasted a while

sohc_PhaZe

so i was in the market for a carbon fiber hood, but they are kind of pricey. so a buddy of mine jsut started is buiness with carbon fiber wrapping so he is going to give me some samples and i might just wrap it tomorrow its like 80% cheaper than buying cf hood plus ill wrap the door panels, and chrome side moldings on the doors with material should run me around 150 which isnt that bad

Oh and i found a civic around my college that has all 4 mud guards in perfect conditon the car is stock so imma offer him 20 for all 4 he wont know they go for 60 xD

sohc_PhaZe

So i decided not going with the carbon fiber wrap, Was able to get a NRG carbon fiber hood for cheaper than i expected. and I tracked down that Guy with the mud guards. Offered him 30 for them

Also got a pair of Silver Jdm side markers and waiting for the white foggies to get shipped

Currently saving up for Coilovers, and skunk 2 catback exhaust.






Never really seen dark green with carbon fiber before.

I have a same car, but a DX 5spd. Currently working on getting her straight right now, but do have some goodies that I couldnt pass up for the price waiting for her when she is done. Then its off to paint/body, and the integra mesh wheels are getting redone at the same time! Looks great man, keep it up.

^Yeah people tend to ruin a cars natural beauty with things like that. Its usually just a faze and will be grown out of. Has the decals on the doors as well...I can understand using them once you had swapped but why now? I dont get it...

sohc_PhaZe

Honestly i think it is a phaze Idk I just like the word "vtec" just inspiring me to get a swap

JuggerNaut-CTR

Meh...to me it's posing, to you inspiring. To each his own. As long as you are happy with it, you are the one that has to be seen in it.
Is a clean platform to start with
