Default My daily driver

I was just washing my car and decided to take a few pictures before it got dark.
So here it is.
So far as much abuse as this car has taken I say it's bullet proof. I had to drive home through the flood water of tropical storm gaston, (water over the headlights to the bottom of the hood no problem), 7 inches of snow in Pa, and over 30K miles driven a year not the first failed part or problem.




I havn't done all that much to it. The main things include
Foglights
Front lip
tinted windows
Pioneer stereo
Eclipse speakers
JBL basspro subwoofer
OEM center console
JDM automatic gauge cluster
A little brushed stainless steel trim on the inside
Better wheels (still not decided exactally what ones I want to get)
lights on buzzer (since Honda left that out from the factory)
(DOHC OBD1 ZC is going in within a month)
That's about it!

If you like it and want some more pictures let me know and i'll put more up.

Yea the outside has about all your going to see. I'm definately not a fan of body kits or ungodly huge wings (dinner tables). The more it can still blend in the less the cops will notice me

You arent going to see a car of mine without an OBX sticker and the VT UVA one. The things I love more than Honda's (my woman that goes to VT no so much the college)
The wheels are just a hold over. I'm getting a set of 99 civic Si wheels as soon as I can afford them.
The tail lights were a replacement for the dull and scratched ones that were on there when i bought it. Out of all the choices those were the best. I like them. OEM was to expensive.
Thanks for the comments so far!

I was waiting for someone to catch that.
If I can find a donor car I would love to. I can get the ZC and tranny for $700. So all I need is the car to take the manual stuff out of. (hint hint)

I should get my grandmother to post a picture of her stock Civic lx so everyone can comment on how clean it is. lmao Sorry I'm being such a hater but I just can't wrap my head around this whole "clean" thing people go on about when they see basically a stock car. Does "clean" now stand for oem?

Well your car isn't clean according to that definition......those altezzas and stickers easily fall under the bolded categories.
