If you ever sell it, be sure a true ricer buys it. Once you see it with a dual decker aluminum wing, 90° angle muffler, reverse raked cut springs, and dragon seat covers...you'll build a civic and keep that s*** forever.
LOL, don't forget the body kit!

i have to buy two truck loads of stone for spring. i cant get in my driveway and depending where they put me the car will either go lower or will acquire a lip. hopefully its lower. lips are over rated.

looks beautiful man. i love your car
thanks. i just wish it stood out more. its so plain and blends in. im hoping a front mount, wheels, and more low will do it. everyone is going to end up with the wheels i get probably, but thats ok :cool:

Loving it, man. I don't think it blends in. That color pops.
I wish I could touch the ground.

yeah the color pops, but id like for it to stand out more while remaining very clean.

touching the ground comes at a cost, my oil pan looks like hell and part of the drain bolt is grinded off, and well there is just a whole lot of damage underneath. one day when im under i should remember to take pics. when i swap im definitely welding 3/8 steel to the oil pan. its goin to hang even lower and im not playing games. oh and skid plate may be made. idk yet

if you park it next to another civic, it just looks like another civic. say i were to go to a meet, no one would even look twice. i want to park in a crowd and have people say "oh f**k". you need to break boundaries, do something no one else has done. and thats what i want to do, and maintain the balance of a clean look. its seeming to be quite difficult. plus i have missions you guys wouldnt understand. like i want to go to h20i this next season and have everyone love the car lol

oh and being this low blows, extremely inconvenient. its someting that unless you love it and dont mind the biggest hassle ever. dont do it, oh and be ready to fix broken s**t

The first one cant speak =) so ill take it. now when compared to cars. it does look better, but i want to be low enough that a lip simply isnt an option =) i want to sit slightly higher than where i was before by about an inch, and have it be all bumper no lip

i feel ya. going for that epic low look. Im thinking without going to a 99-00 front end, it wont look right simply because the sideskirts sit a bit lower than the front bumper without a lip on the 96-98

yeah basically. everyone says its low enough, but i always want more. i like to push things. but eh idk. i already know if i put a lip on like a mugen it doesnt clean the ground. it drags. and im not happy with how high the sides sit. so idk. i have to play with things i guess. i want the sides to sit lower, so i cant run a lip. but i want to run a lip. so maybe ill have to think outside the box. i seen a civic with e46 front splitters =)

i just found schmidt modernlines in 16x9 staggered offsets with two bad tires for a grand. seriously being debated. swap might be on hold. i love these wheels and those specs. though i prefer 15. damnit. i have a serious problem with wheels

yup. people use lips to get lower. i say f**k the lip, ill lower the car more. no cheating here. and it was stickerbombed till about the beginning of the summer. i took it off then.

How much for the roof rack?
eh dont really wanna ship it. was looking for $160 and its missing the load bars. realized im too high. so hoping for 140-120ish
