Icon6 98 Civic Ex Sedan Build Thread

Ok Im gonna start this off by telling you a little about my car. I just got rid of my integra sedan and got this as my new DD.
1998 Honda Civic EX sedan
D16Y8 + 5 speed manual
84k miles

Mods already done to it when I got it:
egay coilovers (super bouncy)
full header-back exhaust no name
no name short ram
blue lcas

Future mods:
96-98 SiR bumpers & lip
SiR interior
some b swap (idk itr or b16/gsr)
or maybe boost the D
new wheels (Si's or enkei rpf1???)
new suspension (either new or upgrade my coupes to better and use the suspension off my coupe on this)
Btw You guys might see my other build thread floating around for my 96 civic dx weekend/track car and the sedan is my DD. The sedan is kinda taking time and money from the coupes build but here soon I have BIG plans for the coupe. If you havent seen the build thread you should check it out. Heres the link https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...c+build+thread


Anyways heres the sedan as soon as i got it home

and heres my SiR front and rear bumpers and lip. I actually dropped the bumpers off for paint yesterday so hopefully Monday at the latest I'll have them on. Oh and the guy had an ebay grill on the car that i dropped off to paint. I might end up getting a stock one because I like those better on 96-98 SiR fronts. Right now im trying to decide whether I want to boost this Y8 or itr swap. Either way my main goal is to maintain drivability for a daily. Im going to keep a/c p/s etc.

Alright a little update: Just got my bumpers and grill back from paint today after work. I got everything mounted I just need to adjust the bumpers a little bit. I was plastidipping the trim on the doors and fenders but it didnt turn out that great. I was running out of light too so I only got one pic of the front end with it on. I didnt get a chance to get a pic of the back yet (my phones got a crap flash on it). Ill get some pics tomorrow in the daylight but here ya go.
