Default My Build Thread

Ey hows everyone doing? New to the thread stuff so please bare with me.Alright. I got my 03 civic sedan as high school graduation gift from my mom in other words Im the second owner of the car, so Everything was stock then. I haven't really thought of stickin' with this car so I just throw in some stuff just to get away from that stock look


*still got those scratch due to my moms driving when she still has it..

TIMELINE of my car:
Type R style front grille


Got me a little boost with my NEW HKS Hi-Power Axle back exhaust


Couple months after my tires got all worn out so instead of getting new tires, I got some 17" Flik Wasp rims and a crappy coilover sleeves just to get my car dropped

[

Then some Red H emblem to go with my grille and a yellow fog lights..wohooo!!


Not quite satisfied with the performance so I ordered my megan headers

*Had to take it out after couple months because it wont pass smog..BOO!!

Had to put back the OEM grille coz someone backed up into my car and crashed my grille and my shocks got f*cked up due to mismatched sleeves and struts( back to stock height)


+This time I was kinda debating if I would continue fixing this car. At first I chose to stop and save up money to get a new car (RSX/ Integra) but then when I saw all the 7th gen rides on this site which pushed me to finish what I've started. So here are the latest updates of my car and still on the process. Hopefully you guys like it. Throw me any suggestions or comments and all of it would be put into considerations..

Dropped with D2 RS Racing coilovers


Some window visors on




That's basically how my car sits as of the moment.

FUTURE PLANS
-K-series swap
-CF Hood
-All around lip- on the way but needs to color match it
-Recaro racing seats
-New rims
-Baked headlights
...etc...

Car looks like a clean start. A lip kit would definitely look nice.

Haven't really done anything with the inside so its basically all stock right now.My fog lights works good..This might sound common sense but fog lights should work when you turn on your lights.did you just had your lights done?

Looking good, As stated earlier a 04-05 front end would look nice on your car as well as tint.
I'm slowly working on my car too. GL with your project!
