somethings really off about my civic (help me identify it)

[timmya2]

http://tinypic.com/5vv3me


its different from all the other civics..

theres no sporty feel to it.. hmm

wat is it.. i looked real carefully.. the bar is the same.. the body.. the shape..

heres one with its distinctive sportier shape..

http://tinypic.com/5xv347


even if the wheels on mine where gold it will still have a different shape. Not that kind of sporty feel. do u get me? i hope so..

is it just the tints?

maybe if i tint it.. hmmmm

im not getting that EG HATCH SPORTINESS FEEL.. its driving me crazy

maybe the rims needs to go..

wat is making it so yucky?

[|N|]

colour code the door protector and drop the car... then u ll be a happy man...

[bennjamin]

please....get a colour code ( siderskirts) , JDM front lip and soem nice darkish 15inch jdm rims....and LOWER it - it will look HOT :)

[Paul1985]

yourr side mirrors, door handles and black strips would make it look very clean if u painted them white, maybe some clear side indicators... your car would definately look sportier if it was lowered... and i personally arent too keen on those wheels.. but thats just my opinion...

But really dude, i think it looks sporty, looks perfectly fine too me..... nothing wrong with your civic

u sure?

check this one out.. it still has black mirros AND its not tinted.

yet it still looks sporty??!

i think its the rims huh..

and drop the car even more? its already rubbing the guards when people sit at the back.. hmm maybe i should get smaller rims?

wat ya guys think..

and wat does a JDM frontbar look like? and sideskirts? and where can i buy sum..

[tRipitaka]

needs to be lowered..

[SiReal]

loving the ride, but in my opinion, i think the wheels are too big and the car isnt low enough. silver wheels nowadays, i think are sorta out of fashion.

[type one]

Don't colour code the side door strips!

Locate on EG6 front lip and one rear wing.
CF hood
Good suspension
Sell those big ass heavy rims and swap for stockies or 15s

This will make your car "feel" and look MUCH sportier.

[sesshoumaru]

put on some sun glasses.

make you feel sporty when driving.

[Terry]

1)get a pair of orange color indictor
2)replace the clear side marker with the OEM one
3)gun matel gery DC2R rims
4)Spoon exhaust with sticker at the back
5)half tint
6)JDM door visor
PS:Car always looks good if they are fully options:D

Example?

[_CiVIC_]

what size are those rims man... they look like monster truck size lol.. get some nice 16" wheels, gold with a chrome lip, then slam it man!!! and when i say slam it i mean 2.5inches at the front and 3inches at the back. CF hood, hid kit for your headlights, and a CAI w00t w00t watch your civic roar..

[SiReal]

dont forget about those horsepower stickers

[timmya2]

lmao

[CONAN]

colour code it
get black rims
and black bonnet
and dump it
very nice

[timmya2]

^ thats wat i was thinking along the lines of

[michael_antoi]

has the guy removed the black strips along the doors here?

and is it white underneath or did he have that painted?



u sure?

check this one out.. it still has black mirros AND its not tinted.

yet it still looks sporty??!

http://tinypic.com/5xv674

i think its the rims huh..

and drop the car even more? its already rubbing the guards when people sit at the back.. hmm maybe i should get smaller rims?

wat ya guys think..

and wat does a JDM frontbar look like? and sideskirts? and where can i buy sum..

[timmya2]

^ im guessing he ripped em off. then got em painted.. else it would have bits of yucky silicon all over it and un-even paint..

[taizon]

drop it like its hot

[michael_antoi]

yeh i rex drop it, get some darkish rims, bit smaller than what u have

u'll be happy with the looks then...if you're thinking of replacing ur front bar i'm happy to take the stock one off ur hands, need one myself..

has anyone tried color coding the mirrors, door handles, door strips themselves?

was it difficult? how did it turn out?

[dc2dc2dc2]

bro..ur car is way way too high off the floor....dump it more and get darker rimz....get a new front lip? and some rice stickers !

[Paul1985]

getting those items painted will more than likely be quiet expensive, and although u could do it yourself, its not recomended unless u know what your doing..

i think i read somewhere just the black strips are around $200... dont quote me on that though not 100% :)

[VTC-8OY]

the rims are fine... jus dump its ****, dats all, n a nice lip n colour code the sides

[heist]

definatly lower it, it will look sporty then

[MrPlow]

DROP IT! and take the mud flaps off... smaller wheels but if your happy with them leave them!

[.::F[L]Y::.]

new springs 250-300-----> to dramaticaly lower your ride height
OEM honda lip---->100-150

[timmya2]

HEY WOW!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.. you guys are really nice

and yeh im definately gonna get it color coded and lowered it definately looks like a real civic now..

thank you so much guys

what is that "color coded front lip" ? i cant see it

edit: "sideskirts" ... its got sideskirts? i dont see that either

[Stabo]

no probs mate.

umm with regards to the front lip.. if you look at the original it looks like the bottom of the front lip is black. I just colour coded that to white.

As for the side skirts, i basically just brought down the original body to make it look "beefy" which is basically what side skirts do anyways :D

Cheers!
~Stabo

[timmya2]

hey u think u can photshop the wheels black/gunmetal grey? im thinking of spraying it myself with caliper paint :)

whenever u have time mate.

thanx heaps

[fusion_VTi]

dump it on its nuts

[timmya2]

problem solved guys



-cf bonnet
-paint rims black
-lowered
-color coding
-ricey muffler

voila

http://tinypic.com/5zek2h

now it looks ricey :)

[.::F[L]Y::.]

thats hot man hehehe

[_CiVIC_]

that looks really good man!! Props to 18INCH.. good work bro

[mj3610]

take it to a reputable place when u lower it so they can guard roll as well, add about $160 for both back wheels for guard rolling

[civicboy]

do it like FLYS way :thumbsup: - simple/clean :)

or i think it will look good if you:
*colour code your mirrors & side skirts
*leave your door handles, rear wing & front lower lip (Black) + add an OEM lip
*get rid of your door mouldings like this EG

http://tinypic.com/5xv674
*lower it more
*black, bronze, gun metal rims or even gold-ish spokes with polish lip

:cool: :thumbsup: i think it will look clean + better

[zco]

its too clean! and the white on your car doesnt look original honda. it looks like it just got respray. WAY TOO CLEAN :wave:

[civboy]

get sum eyelids as well and they can make it look meaner, i got sum 4 my car and i relli like em.
keep the wheels and drop it on its ass. tint the windows and colour code all the skirts. makes it looks betta.

[garett]

i rekkon keep the body mouldings black mate... way better, just lower and front lip, lose the 17's and get some 15s, windows dont matter

[tRipitaka]

i say u should leave the plastic side parts black, as it looks better when that part is black and the door handle/mirrors are black too...

[DNYALL]

colour code mirrors, side strips. Lower it. Black wheels with a polished rim. Dump it. JDM skirts.

[timmya2]

wat do JDM skirts look like?

[UW15HN]

lower it 4"
chuck on an exhaust
thats all it needs...

and maybe get rid of that yellow rx7.. that might be holding it down

haha

give it to me *hint hint*

oh and also put a pod filter on it

[timmya2]

its a carby..

can i put pod filters on carbies?

[UW15HN]

oh nah you cant

i think you have to get a panel filter or something.. better ask someone who knows stuff about carby's.. sorry im fuel injected haha

[MADGIC]

Youve gotta get low mate drop it!

[.::F[L]Y::.]

lowering the car may look 'fully sik' but it is costly. for exmaple my eg is slammed on its ass and my tyres only last me abt 3000kms if not less. shocks will prolly die soon and my front lip is not gona last long either. sometimes dirivng on the road the underbody scrpaes the road.... and its kinda bumpy

if u can live with all of these things then low is the way to go.....

[Zdster]

Wow, only 3000km on tyres. You must be best friends with your local bob jane :D.


How come you get so few k's? Is it because of camber?

[.::F[L]Y::.]

yep camber is pretty bad lol. and these were perrillis (spelling) as well.

now that i have steelies back on for the fronts the car is even lower lol

[Zdster]

Would a camber kit fix the problem? Going through tyres at that rate would be crazy :).

[lloydbanks]

hey while we're on the subject, is camber the degree of angle on your wheels? How does that affect handling?

[Zdster]

Yep. Camber is how much of an angle the wheel sits on. Not sure how it changes the handling though.

[civ_sik]

as far as ive experianced just makes the front more "on edge" , and can corner some corners faster as they (the wheels) flatten out as the load falls on that side of the car... my experiance... btw dont pull the door moulds off as there are many holes beneath holding them on (found that out when my eletrick window got caught on something wtf!!!) ... have to get them painted (colour coded).
