Default bought wifey a beater !

UPDATED RIMS PICS!
gas prices are killer around here for our trailblazer..so i decided to get her a beater for back/forth to work and b/s around in....
92 civic ex w/ 92' ls & b16 trans
kyb/skunk2 coilovers, 17" adr's...
pretty decent for $2150 ext needs lil t.l.c but overall i thought was a decent deal, pulls hard for what it is
headlights gota go though..
if you want some 1 piece halo projectors ill trade ya for your oem healights/corners




update......i painted wheels i put them on my sol to see what 17's would look like on it..but heres a before:::
after::

If you wanted a gas-saver you might want to consider selling that B16 tranny

That thing is clean for a girl to drive around in. The white wheels look cool on the "purple".

I'm surprised that those wheels don't look too big...it's got a nice stance. Some stock headlights and a lip would go a long way.

ADRs make those in the polished face and white corners, polished lip ect. , I think they're nice... but the tires... gosh they're thin.

Not a bad beater at all, pretty damn clean too.
the lights are a bit =X
