a few pics of my 02 civic ex sedan, i havent done a whole lot, just a few things. window tint, new paint coming soon, stock spoiler, and maybe exhaust.
btw, does anyone know where i can get colormatched trunk moldings?


the day i got it for my 16th birthday.



new rims.


17'' kobe oku 8

halo headlights.



side shot. i painted my calipers, because i thought it looked boring.


im doin what i can, i get my license in a month

 

i dunno about the headlights, but that car needs a major lowering

 

get rid of the altezzas and definately begging for a drop...

 

looks nice

 

i agree with the lowering and u need a new body kit

 

just do what u want..its your car

 

yeah, ive got limited money coming in, and its not like im gonna get crazy with all the upgrades, im not a big fan of body kits, but i might lower it eventually, but that will be in the future when i start making more money at a different job, currentlyy, i get $6 and hour to roll burritos, so i dont have much to work with. i just do what i can, and i desperately needed new headlights, both of mine were messed up, leaking and stuff, and i liked the halos so i got em, personal preference, and i had a broken taillights, so i put some altezzas in, personally, i think they look pretty good. i havent done a whole lot yet, cuz ive got limited funds, but in the next month my parents are getting it repainted, im still debating on whether or not to go with a different color.

 

Fair's fair mate, if you like the Altezza's then all well and good, but i think you'll find most people on here think they're ugly and pretty horrid.

Don't get a bodykit, just get a lip then lower the old girl and take it from there!

 

Looks cute, man

 

cool

 

its a nice car, but every modification is a bad one

 

youve caught the modifying bug. now jus catch some taste! im kidding. whatever you like roll with it. your styles will change over time. just have fun with it

 

This makes me want to dookie!

couldn't agree more,

but we have to understand that were all 16 at some point of our lives

I remember that I had altezzas and some knock off rims myself (6 years ago when I was 18)

 

i love knock off rims :-)

 

u need 2 buy my real cf dash kit heheh...

 

Dont let people knock you. Everyone in here has seen there own style evolve whether or not there willing to admit it.

 

if you haven't learned what looks good yet, maybe focus on buying performance parts instead of things just to get people to notice you. By performance I don't mean things that make loud noises. Maybe suspension might be a good idea.

 

yeah, im not gonna lie, some of the stuff i did, i think it looks stupid now, dumb phase i went through i guess, just got modification happy. now i really wish i woulda kept those stock tail lights . im workin on gettin back on the right track now, doing some more appealing things to my car, things that actually "enhance" the look. thanks for the constructive criticism, i appreciate it, helped me get straight, when i finally do something to the car thats worth seeing, ill post more pictures.

 

any suggestions? positive or negative criticism is appreciated.

btw. everyone elses cars on here, look amazing, especially the em2's

Nice to hear someone taking advice on board for a change (you know who you are out there...), and actually listening to what people in the know...know, lol

Good man. You've seen the light!

I'd recommend going for a decent coilover setup (Ground Control's + Koni Shocks is a good combination for cheaper money), and a better rim option. Then slowly build up your suspension/brake components to a decent level. Then, when that's all said and done, save money for a K-swap. K24's and K20A3's can be had for cheap money, and will DEFINITELY increase the car's overall appeal.

 

well, honestly, i actually like those rims, i think they look good, eventually, ill upgrade to a set of enkeis or something, but right now, i actually like those, as far as a swap, my parents would flip, i cant do anything that drastic, basically the kinda stuff i can do is cosmetic mostly.

Then, I would go for a sneak attack with a sleeper Turbo setup.

Oh, and the reason I mentioned getting some other rims, is because those are some rather bad rims. They're heavy and knock-off's of a proper rim. You can get a decent wheel for fairly cheap now a days, if you know where to look. Konig makes some seriously nice wheels for good prices. They've got some lightweight models that will make the one's you have seem like elephants.

 

that sounds excellent, but one problem.

im a 16 yr old kid in highschool. i dont have that kind of money. lol.
currently, im trying to talk my parents into letting me black out the tail-lights, and they are taking it next week to get it painted and have my spoiler put on.
