I just got a purple 93 civic coupe.

So far what Ive put on:

• spoon frontlip kit
• fog lights
• JDM corner lights
• 8k HIDs

Im new to Hondas, so im just wanting some ideas. Im not up for a swap yet seeing as I just installed a new motor from already blowing the first one.

So I'm just wanting some tips like some trustable websites where I can get legit parts.
I've had enough of the flaming so just hold it back. I'm not posting this so people can tell me what to put on it, I'm just wanting some ideas since I'm kinda new to this.

probably gonna cover the big dent in the front bumper with a jdm license plate or something lol

when I first bought it

 

rota's and drag's are popular rims. check them out
as far as struts/shocks: tokico blue and whites are good.
one-piece coilovers are nice. check out skunk2 one pieces
skunk2 has some pretty decent coilovers as well. just do a little research. you can find plenty of information on good/bad coilovers/struts. it's everywhere.
and yeah i was gonna say something about covering that dent. you can get a license plate holder that angles your license plate down. just a cheap kind of different thing to do to your car to make it unique.
like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-T...item2c5e51d95b

 

Before you get flammed here. I strongly suggest that:

1. Read the rules of this forum because you already violated one. (no tech info)
2. Browse the internet and the HT community
3. Use HT search engine because im pretty sure that all the questions you will ask for has been already answered. (I can already see 2 of them)

I'm sorry to tell you all this and i'm not trying to be a jerk but that's really how it works. We are not here to tell you what to put on your car... You do what you like and that's all. And you might be surprised but here is not the place for that kind of things you are asking for.

Also please don't stick to "JDM stuff". The world have a lot more to offer than "JDM". Just keep it simple.

Have fun!

 

yeah ive been looking for some drag rims, found some pretty interesting ones but not excited enough to go buy them. ive honestly been looking at buying some si wheels to put on it for right now. and thanks for the idea of the license plate, Im actually thinking about buying it right now haha.
heres what im really considering...
circuit 8

I made the thread to get ideas of what I should do to my car seeing as im new to this. and im the one who says what goes on my car not anyone else so it doesnt matter what people say, if i like what they suggest then sure i might go for it. but its not like im asking people to tell me what to put on my car. and if i want to stick to jdm then thats me. but it doesnt necessarily mean i want JUST JDM stuff.

 

"I made the thread to get ideas of what I should do to my car seeing as im new to this."

"but its not like im asking people to tell me what to put on my car."

Sooo, should we tell you what to put on your car? Or not? I'm confused.
FYI you put "JDM Style" stuff on your car. I can guarantee none of that is from Japan.

 

I don't know. I've never seen anyone fix up a Civic before. I don't know if there is anything out there.
If you're strictly sticking with "JDM" all you have to do is go to Ebay and type in JDM style. Then buy everything that pops up.
Jeez. There's the whole Appearance forum to browse through WITHOUT having to post useless threads like this one. At LEAST a decade of trends to absorb and imitate.

TBH this thread is like walking into a library and asking "Where are the books?"

 

yeah it actually is. but yeah im just wanting ideas of what i should do. yes, tell me your opinions of what you would do.

there, took it off. Like i said in the next post i wasnt strictly sticking to JDM... but guess you didnt read that.

 

Ditch that fake front lip.

 

Are your foglights stamped with Stanley?

What brand is that lip? eBay special?

Are those corners Vision? or eBay special as well?

 

Make it hellaflush yo, it will get you laid.

 

why do you have to be an *** hole? go flame someone else? thanks for not commenting on the thread for the reason it was posted. all youve done is flame so far

I honestly dont like it either, but im not gonna go buy another one so i guess im just gonna stick with this one for a while.

 

Don't expect NOT to get flamed. YOu came in here wanting to "hook up" your car and then tell people you aren't getting rid of your cheap Ebay stuff. Why bother posting at all?

 

if its already bought im not just gonna trash it dumb ***.. i dont just throw money away like that. yeah maybe in the future ill buy different ones. but right now im fine. The corner lights ARE Vison corner lights, and i can prove it if youd like. I didnt really care about the fog lights and lip kit because I didnt have the money to pay twice the amount for officiall ones

 

I was just asking cause you said your stuff was from Japan. Calm down bro.

 

If it's fake and YOU bought it you ALREADY threw away money trying to floss "JDM style" on the cheap. No one is going to take you seriously now. Give it up. If you don't have the money then keep it stock. Cars are expensive hobbies when done right.

 

No offense, but I'd ignore 99.9% of this. You'll slot yourself in as a "JDM knock-off fanboy" pretty quickly.

 

sorry, im not intentionally being a douche its just I have people like grumblemarc who never let off and try to make you feel like ****... if you dont believe me read his posts, like i guess he doesnt get that i dont give a **** my lip kit and fog lights are fake... like lmao big deal.

I didnt waste it because i didnt give a **** that two items on my whole damn car are knock offs. like big ****ing deal. I have the money its just im not gonna spend twice the amount for a stamp on a lense saying its legit lmao thats stupid. give up bro I dont CARE

haha i honestly dont care if its a knock off. so yeah i probably will.

 

I already told you to get everything off of Ebay marked "JDM Style" to keep the theme going or leave it stock until you can afford it. You already said that you don't have the money to afford the legit articles.

 

I'm all about SOME fake stuff, but there's other things that just don't work with the car.

 

Which is it? You have it or you don't.

AGAIN!!! Where are the books? There are more than a decade of builds and picture threads. Stop being lazy and go and browse the forums. Rawrjay? Is that you?

 

I do, its just when i had bought them in the first place i wasnt aware that it was so common to get knock offs. my corner lights arnt knock offs but the fog lights and lip kits are which i honestly dont even care about.

 

Here's my advice, IF you're on a budget.

Rota's/Konigs are decent looking wheels. Drag's are like, knock off's of knock off's. GT3's, Grids, and Flashbacks are WAAYYYY too played out. Everyone has those.

Ditch the eBay lip, and get a Wings West lip. Yeah it's not $50, but it looks a hell of a lot better. Either that or an EX lip.

Suspension. Don't get Skunk 2. Function Form is one of the best budget one piece coil overs I've seen. Usually around $600. Don't cheap out on suspension.

 

"build the car for yourself not by the opinions of others"

 

I think my stuff looks fine with my car though. but i havnt done much to it yet so I guess I should pay more attention to whats a knock off and not so that people like grumblemarc dont come trolling arouund.

Ill look up that front lip, but i kinda like the mugen style front lip. yeah i found those rims on the rota website im still looking.

this one is nice.
