Here's my 1998 Honda Civic HX around the time when i first got her. Originally Roma Red but was repainted afew years ago Formula Red (S2K color). Previous owner also got into a little acciedent and had to replace the passenger door and did not paint it. which explains the off color you will see in later photos.





I wanted to start off by changing the look so people wouldnt point and say " oh hey thats _____'s coupe" No way would i be having any of that. Traded off the Rota C10's for some Rota Slips..

pics along my FG2 (which i soon sold)






At the time the car was driven by my GF (explains the lift) until i sold my Si. Once i sold it i purchased a more family friendly vehicle, 05 CRV SE



then i also pulled off the rest of the window tint and got rid of the ugly 99-00 tails for some fresh 96-98 tails. Also added OEM floormats and OEM mudflaps




Random photo of the coupe next to my brothers EM1 (storage mode)



With the EJ7 being driven by only me now, soon came the drop..


unfortunatly the fronts wont go any lower so i had to raise the rear

 

rainy days later, i decieded not to waste another day because of rain and worked on my car. no $$ for SiR goodies so the time came for some DIY JDM! Borrowed a buddys heat gun and hoped i wouldnt mess anything up









they turned out great!

 

Picked up a Recaro SRD for me. Captains chair lol. Got rid of the slips for Si's.

How she currently sits

 

Love the car. Just wondering, do you just plan on boosting or are you going vtec too?

 

I would love to have a boosted Z6 or Y8 but if i can get my hands on a LS or a GSR i wont think twice!

 

Nice.

 

car is looking good

 

Damnit. Now I want to do that mod to my headlights...

 

car looks real nice!

 

Finally made a thread I see, looking good.

 

get rid of a new si for an old hx? :/ i dont understand

 

Think of it as a trade. Traded my Si for a family friendly awesome DD and a project car. Stay tuned for updates! Thanks for all the kind words!

 

I did the same diy mod to my headlights, it makes them look so much better! Good luck with your build.

 

sounds like a great idea to me.
