First Honda EVER!!!!
Well, guys I've been poking around these forums since WAAAAAY before I owned any Honda. I am a DSMer at heart, but unlike most car enthuasist. My fasinaction with cars don't stop at any particular brand, (or class for that matter). I've towed with Hondas before, just never actually owned one. I've played with the Big Blocks (05 GTO and 03 SVT Cobra). I've even put my hondas into a few trucks.
Well last week I came across a deal I just couldn't pass up. I found a 1999 Honda Civic Si with 99599 miles that was one state over (about 2 hours drive). It has some minor cosmetice issues, but nothing I would really care about. The bid was at $4300, I put in my max bid of $5000 and won with $4651. Really an AWESOME deal. The car is pretty much stock, save one modification. An AEM short ram. I already checked out the car, secured the loan, and insured the car. I just have to go pick it up this week.
Here are the pics.
let me know what you think.

I noticed that the front lip was missing, but I didn't realize the front bumper was painted (incorrectly). I could always go over it with some flat black paint. This car is going to be my to and from work car. I'll update the styling with a Type-R style lip, OEM high spoiler, and some black rims (with polished lip). I'll maybe go with black headlight housings, I will get titanium coated signal bulbs regardless of the headlight housings I choose. As for performance. I am going to replace the intake with something a little more modern and maybe less obvious. For exhaust a custom made axle-back or cat-back with the Magnaflow 14861 Muffler (http://www.magnaflow.com/02pro...=1078) for a stealth look (for the VA cops, life is gay here). Thats it.
