I've recently decided to mess with my 2007 civic coupe, EX model. It's an automatic but that's not a concern for me. I've had manuel drive cars and right now, I'm comfortable with an automatic[:
My 2007 civic coupe. It's a nice car to have, drives extremely smooth and reliable.
A while ago, I had a friend install some fog lights for me but the switch didn't reach, I had to leave the switch in the hood and pop it every time i wanted to turn the fog lights on/off. I was driving on the freeway and hit something hard, but small. It caught a hold of the wires for the fogs lights and ripped them out, whatever it was managed to split my bupbers lip and the rip stopped right at the license plate. I had to throw the lights away and get a new bumper entirely.
I tried putting an intake on my car. I went to the local shop and of course, i get bad product. First, i got the wrong intake even though it was sealed in a box that said '07 civic coupe'. Second, it didn't come with everything i need (rubber insert guards, little hoses that didn't even fit.) Me and some friends had trouble before we found out it wast for my car. It was bogging out at 5 rpms, but i can still accelerate but extremely slowly, so i took it off.
In the mist of installing it, we cut out the stock intake box. So now, i have somewhat of a short ram intake? It's hotter air than before but there's more air circulation now.
Today, i got sick and decided to paint my rims white, they're already on the car and I actually like the way they look. The end of the rims are a little bigger but, to me, they resemble rota slipstreams a bit. They're flat white, but I'm going to redo them with a glass white.
Installed my fog lights (second pair). While i was installing them, I had the same problem as before, they switch didn't reach. Instead of making it reach by rewiring it, it just wired them to my HIDs. It's safe and a while lot easier, in my opinion. You just cut the wire from the fogs and HIDs then wire them together, be sure to also wire the grounds as well.
I finally decided to go ahead and get the paint and have the gloss finish on the wheels[: and also put on some window visors, I'm still looking for the sunroof and rear visor. They're a bit hard to come by. I also cut my stock springs. Generally, you're not supposed to. I've heard that once you ride them too much, they start wearing down and at that point, they'll only give you problems from there. I went ahead and cut 1 coil in the front and 2 coils in the back. My car does sit evenly though and it still rides smooth. I want to cut them more but I'm going to just wait until i purchase some coil overs.
Now, I'm stuck here. I don't know why but my hood is sitting lower than it's suppose to. I honestly have NO idea why. the end of the hood that's closer to the windshield is fine, it doesn't sit further up even though the other side closes and is too low. I was wondering if anyone can help me out?
