Hey, thanks, the car is definetely getting some new paint no doubt about that, that white s**t is actually supposed to be chrome lol, its chipping and splitting.....first thing i thought when i went and seen the car was how long is it gonna take to get all that chrome tape off! the car came with a set of 14 inch american racing rims that looked to be about as old as the car.... was thinking about trying to incorporate the 15" DR-9's from my other civic onto it but i dont think they will flow as good as they do on my 95, my budget is time i have about 4 months to recover from a leg injury before i can drive the car so ive got time.... i dont want a super fast car, i just want it to have some go, im from a smaller town where i think the only 2 civics around are owned by me :p so basically i want the car to look good, sound good and have a decent amount of power, any good links yous know of for the things youve stated? thanks again
