Okay, now I see them...Just had to copy and paste it...I think the ride looks pretty good. I'm not feeling the wing though What would look good under the hood is an H22 VTEC motor

YEA, JUST COPY AND PASTE THE LINK!
sorry guys. I apologize.
The spoiler is decent. I thought I would like it more once it was installed.
Right now Im having new tires installde on her as we speak. Ill go pick it up in a few minutes... Im getting bridgestones... protenza's... 205/40/17's
I would have gone with falkins but I kinda like bridgestone for some odd reason and they were on sale. Through some research I did I noticed that there wasnt that much of a differance between the falkins and the ones I went with...
what do you guys think? ok decision?
thanks

Re: im new... So here is my car... (dustywebber)
how much did you pay..I got 215/40/17 paradas for 99 each..I think its a better tire than both..that size is a little bit wider and taller though. If your comparing Falken Azenis, they are pretty much the stickiest street tire you can buy..don't think they come in 205/40/17 though.

Re: im new... So here is my car... (dsludefosho)
I got the 205/40/17's
They were originally priced at $100 a piece at LS.
They were on sale for only $80 today.
I paid $330 for the tires and to have them installed.
I know I know, Im sure ALOT of you think that is pretty gay of me to get them at
LES SCHWAB but hey, I get all the stuff that comes with it. warranty, free tire rotations, brake checks etc... seemed worth it to me.
As for the tire. oh man, I had some TOYO's on the car before that and man do these tires feel alot better! they seemed like a good tirefor the price. had the right balance of cost performance for what I need.
what ya think?

Re: im new... So here is my car... (96LudeSiVTEC)
I have to say, I like the car! And the rims are very nice, good deal!
though the wing is a bit to much for me...it works well with the car overall. Very nice selection!
DUDE GET CLEAR / EURO TAIL LIGHTS! yellow = destroying the color of your car.

Re: im new... So here is my car... (714)
Not bad looking. I'd rock it.
The REAL question is:
Is it a 5-speed?
I'm sorry but automatics are truely inferior.
If it's a VTEC or an Si, good job. If it's an S, still not bad. Better be a stick.

Very nice car, i personally dont think that wing looks bad from any of those pictures exept the back picture. Backs dont look good with wings, in my opinion, but in other angles they look decent/good, anybody else feel this way?

That color is sexy as hell, I'm really liking that. I'm not a fan of really aggressive wings, but that one is growing on me just a little, seeing the kit and all. The rims are the only thing I would change if it were my ride, but to each their own. Good work dude!!

Re: im new... So here is my car... (PICS) I need some much help im a noob. (dustywebber)
First of all YES IT IS MANUAL.
I know that much... hahaha
The paint color is Civic SI "electric blue" not standard si blue.
yea my prelude is NON VTEC from what I understand. its a type S.
how much horse do I have stock?
I just dropped the car off at the shop to have the following done:
All fluids changed.
belts changed. power steering belt was fucked.
plus a full engine / transmission check.
Also my exhaust was making noise, so I checked it out and it seems as if it isnt hooked on tight enough or strong enough... and I want the exhaust pipe under the car raised, its the lowest thing on the car... so get that taken care of will be nice.
Also some wiring needs to be cleaned up on that car and replace at times.
I just want to get this car up and going to the point of best possible circumstances for it has on it right now before I start adding headers, cams etc...
Anything else I should have the guys at the shop look at or pay attention too?
I can call in and have them add to the list...
thanks!

Re: im new... So here is my car... (dustywebber)
another guestion I have is...
On some parts of the car, the ground effects dont line up exactly.
im a perfectionist.
There is a import car shop I have access too...
how do ya think it would cost me to have them take the ground effects off and
re attach them perfectly... simple job right?
i would do it but i dont have means of getting under car...
price estimate?
