Default De-rice and clean up *56k swap a motor*

Well when I got my car it was slightly ricey. Now I have managed to swap the tails for some 99-00 tails, I got new wheels the 18s were huge so I went with 16s, I lowered it 2.5 in the front and 2 in the back on form and function (F^2) full coilovers, replaced the ricey muffler with a full megan racing catback with jdm sideways exit yo. I removed the stickers and fire exstinguisher, the only decal I have now is representing the Christian car club I am in Team 1:16. Below are some before and after pics. Enjoy!

The color Black just does not do justice to any EJ/EK/EM1...Otherwise it looks nice.

i didnt leave anything, thats how i bought the car, and the blue bulbs are actually hyper white, either way im ditching those when i get new harnesses for the tails, the ricer tails had some weird harness so i have to snag up a set of stock harnesses as well, i would ditch the silencer, but its loud without it and i like to keep it toned down a bit. and the muffler may be crooked, but at least its an actual exhaust instead of that ebay ricer ****

I think it looks good man, but I'd ditch that back windsheild banner and thats about it. I think its cool you're reppin' a team, although I hate christians. It would be cool if you could get a smaller window sticker rather than the banner though. But hey..its your car so if you're happy with it, im happy with it.

Whats your future plans for it? Lips, fogs, motor work, interior, audio..etc.

Coming along great so far though, how long have you owned it?

Hey..thats all good man. I went to catholic school from Kindergarten to 12th grade, and there are alot of things that I disagree with so all in all I am against religion. But the rest of my family is all about it, as are many of my friends. So being proud of your faith, and positive about life is apparently working for you, so more power to you.

So whats your future plans with it?

well if you have some harnesses by all means please let me know cause i would love to ditch the bulbs. There are no future plans as of now, Im getting married in 6 weeks so I have to take care of that first. I would like to do a few small things to it, paint the skirts get a front lip, just minor things, I have the normal bolt ons, its a civic so without a huge wallet it will never be fast, and I dont race anyways so there is no need to be fast in the first place, I mainly wanted it to look nice and ride well, which now it does. To me the difference between the welded on muffler that it had, and the full catback is that the muffler was there so the guy could sound like a pissed off bumble bee and annoy the **** out of everyone. The new exhaust frees up a few things, and with the silencer has a low tone but isnt loud and raspy, so i got a little performace and alot better sound. I can actually here my radio now. I dont expect everyone to like it. So if you dont, congrats, cause you dont have to drive it everyday.
