u have a dx w/ matrix pedals, "grant" shift ****, and ricer indiglo gauges..and youre givin advice on appearance/cosmetic? please tell me your avatar is a joke cuz if not then ...anyway the gun metal will offset the color of your car better than the black in my opinion.

yes i have a DX would you like to spend 20,000 dollars on a civic SI for me...im in college i couldnt afford the SI at the time so back off *** h0le.

The Grant Products shift **** actually fits my hand better then the stock one, and also matches the color scheme that i have going for the car.

The avatar that i USED to have was of a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution sliding around a corner from supercars.net

also i said neither because to me black out wheels look retarted. and when i say black outs i mean gunmetal or black rims with black tires. Just incase your peanut of a brain cant handel that.....why dont you go back to tossing a goats salad.....

Good choice on the gunmetal rims, but you will hate the tires you got with them.

I was wondering the same thing but for a silver 6th gen. Civic coupe. Any opinions?? It's also a toss up between the Slipstreams or C8's.......AHHHHHH maybe both, huh?!!!

heres the deal meatball..any shiftknob would "fit" the hand better but would u bone monica lewinksy or christine mendoza?obviously you would settle for monica lewinsky,try to comprehend that one. redundant question... your car is riced out to the max..thats the point i was trying to make. go toss your damn "indiglo pedals" up your moms salad. i meant your signature, not your avatar,which is any ricers dream come true. did anyone ask you what your opinion on rims is? the last time i checked, NO. he didnt ask what YOU think about "blackout" rims,(what do u think his car is a house?)he asked WHICH one is better. and yes youre a ricer, also when you talk about capabilities of somebody's brain it helps when you spell "handle" right, pea brain.
