yeah the headlights were in it when I got it and I havent changed them out yet. I dont mind them as much now that I have some amber corners. As far as the ride height it is lowered 2.25 or 2.50" and I dont feel like going any lower.

Maybe it looks a little high cause of your tires, the profile is pretty high on those, what size are they to be exact?

Im doing the best that I can on my budget right now. So far here is the list of mods on the car

1992 Civic DX hatch
JDM B18C SIR-G engine/tranny swap
Avid Mounts
Chipped P28
B&M short shifter
Skunk2 shift ****
ITR airbox
Goldline springs
Kosei K1 15" wheels
jdmshit.com cf hood

I have had the car since later September and I think it has come along ways. I have had it painted, it didnt even run when I bought it, and was on the verge of getting riced out. Its coming along nicely I think for being on a budget. Future plans for the car is a Skunk2 or Blox intake manifold, and Im may start piecing together a turbo setup for it. My last car was turbo'd and I loved that and this one definitely needs to be!

I think it is just the angle or something of the pics cause it looks lower in other pics to me?

here are some past threads that I started on my hatch
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=996258
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1001348
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1017603
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1108445

When I first got it I was all ready to buy all the parts that I needed but then like always I have to run into some problems with different stuff and well dont always have the cash right off to do what I want. Im sure some of you know how it goes.

It was man check out the previous threads that I started on this car. When I first got it I rescued it from certain ricerdom. I would never in a million years put those headlights on my car. I would search around in some junk yards out here for some headlights but they are rediculous high on prices. They wanted to charge me 75.00 for a stock EG airbox that was full of sand and mud, 100.00 for a iacv and a fast idle valve that was on an engine that had been sitting outside in weather for a few years atleast. So Im scared to ask what it would cost for 2 headlights for my car.
