Default Chicago ~ First Honda ~ EK Hatchback

Hello Honda-Tech dudes.
New member from Chicago.
I've always owned and driven Nissan 240sx's.
I've had quite a handful of old Japanese RWD cars including a few Toyota's.

I am still quite into the Nissan scene but was recently looking for a new daily driver when a friend convinced me to buy a Civic.
They're known for reliability so I figured why not.

Came across a '98 Deep Amethyst Pearl DX hatchback.
Car is originally from California and being a Nissan guy in the Midwest, I couldn't believe a Honda was so clean. It has some normal suspension on it, Buddy Club street spec coilovers and BWR LCA. Also has fresh bushings for the most part.

I've been saving a lot of money to build yet another 240sx, however this Civic has been a blast in the first few days I've owned it. Who knows what is to come.

Changed the wheel/tire combo instantly.
Not a big fan of unnecessarily small tires creating huge wheel gap.
Also that poke had to go.
In all, not a fan of the wheel design or the bronze on DAP.

Got some Integra LS mesh and bigger tires.
Running an 8mm slip-on on all four.

Wheels are pretty damn oxidized but I have three days off next week so I may go grab some sand paper, paint, and clear.

Currently have clean stock grey interior.

Any suggestions for interior upgrades?
Not looking for ITR Recaros or anything.
Just a nice simple upgrade. I like black interior.

I'm trying to find out if 4 door GSR Integra interior will work.
Everything I've come across so far says I might have trouble with the rears.
