Default EJ8 Civic Bone stock DD

So thanks to all of your advice I will be keeping my car completely stock, only modification might be some upgraded rims. Not Rotas or Drags or anything of that nature, just something to keep me fully satisfied with my DD

This would be more fit in the Honda/Acura appearance section btw. i'll report the thread to request a move.

What kind of wheels do you like? Mesh? non-mesh? deep dish? 4/5/6/multi-spoke?
Is it manual or automatic?
there are a few nice accessories / little modifications that can be very functional and be thrown around. Let me know!

OhSoBuilt, that is a real clean DD. If you are not planning on lowering it I would just find a clean set of SI wheels, maybe some Gsr Blades.

I agree ^ some nice OEM wheels would be a great addition, if you're on a budget, OEM quality is much better and cleaner than replica brands like: Rota/Drag/XXR/Konig etc; I had Konig wheels that bruised (dented) easily and couldn't inflate the tires anymore... so I bought a set of 99-00 Si's, no regrets.

15" GSR Blades:



15" 99-00 SI:



14" HX (96-00 HX coupe) wheels:




For a front lip, any 99-00 front lip will fit, or you can throw on a Honda Fit front lip.
You can go ahead and get some ebay-replica lips, to each his own just make sure you get one that fits the 99-00 front end. Stray away from plastic lips (they cost more to ship & break easily), Polyurethane ship cheaper (because they are usually packaged smaller, folded up) and are more like a rubbery plastic. In the end, ebay lips will need modification to fit snug.
OEM 99-00

For the interior, LED white bulbs for the dome and map could be great for additional lighting.
Here's the bulb size chart: http://www.modifiedlife.com/1999-hon...-sizing-chart/
I bought my bulbs on Amazon in bulk and just changed the interior lighting & license plate lighting on all of my vehicles.

Another nice addition for the interior is a 240mm convex broadway rear view mirror, it gives you much more view.

If your Civic is equipped with a manual transmission, an integra shifter (refer to link in signature for tutorial) would be a very nice new feel, but also will a weighted shift ****. I've only used the 530 Gram Pwjdm shift **** and compared to the stock ****, it's TONS better.
The only PWJDM item I find not to be a piece of ****. If you can find any 1lb+ or ~500gram+ shift ****, i'd go for it.

there are more DIY/modifications links in my signature, check them if you'd like.
