Icon7 2001 honda civic ex let me know what you think

Does it look good or too ricer? Any opinions on how to make it better?

The pic without the red honda emblem is how it used to look like.

Looks a tad ricer-ish... Looks like it needs to be a little lower and take those eyelid things off.... IMO your car isnt ready for them..

Loose the lids, needs to be dropped, and your lip looks like its not on right.

It looks so much better without the lids on, now. "Eyelids" are something that i think should only be on really tuned cars, for some reason. That's just my opinion, though... But sometimes it also depends on the color of your car. if your car was red or black, and lowered, I think it would be a whole different story.

If I had things my way, I would use a basic Tein or Eibach suspension on my bone stock car... But I am sort of torn between the two. I need to get some opinions on which ones last longer, and which ones ride smoother. Don't "slam" your car to the ground... Just lower it a bit. If it's going to be a show car, then you might wanna drop that mother. haha

eyelids are cool... dunno why everybody hates them. nice start, though. i'd look for a set of new wheels, and a mild suspension setup; you will enjoy the car much more!

Alright thanks guys yea i just got the eyelids on a spaz i wanted to see what they looked like only cost me like 18$ and yea there staying off lol. Ima put the finished product a lil later. And dropping has to wait its expensive to have it done right. And i think the red badge gives the car some color cause i have the brakes painted red and the rims have a red cirlce on them and the back has a red badge also i'll take some better pics so yall can see.

I agree, the eyelids don't look right. Im glad you posted a pic of it with lids because I was considering them. Definitely not doing that. I also say lower it, when you can (I am waiting on $, too) and you'll be lookin good.
