i agree i hate those lights, bought them couple years ago for my coupe, threw them on there to show someone they worked and how they looked to sell, and never pulled off.

i am gonna slam it, just had to buy a new tranny first, it was grinding. i'm planing on painting it a flat black, and as for boost i'm gonna vtec it first. maybe this summer though.

any input on what color i should do with the wheels?

jordanhxc

lose the lights and dont touch the rims

I apologize in advance if I'm wrong, but to me that doesn't look like a 96 LS motor like you said. Looks like an older motor.

andrewholbrook

This is true, that is not a 96 LS

that motor is a b18b1 pulled out of a 96 ls with 60k on it, i sanded down the cover

cloudconnected85

lost the lights, but as for the wheels i traded some vx's for these si's and they were spray canned black, so i stripped and sanded and the front two still have chrome but the back two were sanded before the paint. so i've got to paint or polish to get them to match. and i'm kind of fond of gun metal rims.

and apologies block states it's a 94

good luck with your car

cloudconnected85

ttt for update.

quickcivicmp

if you do decide to paint the si's post some pictures, im interested to see how they turn out. good luck

jeremyrocksursox

picture update?

Geoffrey Viray

I think you should paint the car black and keep the si rims stock silver keep it looking sleeper and clean! I would say change your tail lights and make it the original stock ones. That's just my opinion but GOOD LUCK!!!

cloudconnected85

yeah pics of my new car. decided not to paint rims, i'm in process of sanding and polishing them. and a flat black is the color I'd like to paint the red one.

cloudconnected85

well i've pulled the engine out of the white one and picked up a d15b block cheap so i'm going to build a mini me for it. wish me luck it's been hell so far.

good luck
nice civic

cloudconnected85

well an update.
so i built the mini swap on the white ex, broke the key on the cam gear, spun it over. fixed and started smoking. so did a compression test and my buddy got the spark plug adapter stuck in my block. this sucks. but am looking at some turbo setups for the red dx.

cloudconnected85

well here's an update. got omni power coilover sleeves on itr front struts, took off si's till i get em polished with new tires, and heres the pic of the tails updated too.






oh and added a 3in to 4in exhaust system was gave to me but the 3in pipe goes pretty well with the ls. not pictured.
