Almost forgot to Introduce myself

[DamienS]

Hi All,

Well I picked up my new VTI Auto Civic last Friday, previous to that I had a manual 06 Subaru Liberty 2.0R (7 months olds when i got the civic). Reason I changed to the Civic was that my wife finally got fed up with the manual transmission so we got the Civic Auto to keep her happy.

Been taking some time get use to the civic but it is a very nice car to drive.

Ordered some 15 inch alloys for it which will go on next week and have plans for a few more things, swapping factory speakers and thinking of putting a decent Rear Sway Bar in to tighten up the roll.

Anyway just wanted to say hello!!:wave:

[destrukshn]

Welcome DaimenS..... From me & ASIMO.

Hello & welcome. Might wanna change that order from 15" to 19" wheels. 15s will look tiny on the new civic.

Only reason I am going 15's is that I dont need to change tyres as stock is 15's.

Yeah I know it wont look as good as it would with 17's+ but trying to save for a house so expenses need to be kept to a minimum.

[teaseR]

u might as well keep the standard wheels
they look better then any other 15" aftermarket wheels on a civic

[DamienS]

Just got the wheels done today, I disagree that the standard wheels look better. I will post some pics soon and see what everyone thinks.

[80057]

each to their own,

im sure you could get some nice wheels for a civ, but i do agree for stockies the std wheels are pretty good.

I am not sure how any plastic wheel cover on a steel wheel can look better than most alloys, but as you say, each to their own.

Just off to pick it up now, it also had its tinting done today. Saved a couple hundred on tinting by not getting it dealer fitted. The same place who does it for Honda is doing it for me but as I am going direct their is no Honda price mark up.:cool:

Ok some pictures with the new 15inch wheels

I think for a 15 they look pretty good. Yeah 17's would be nice but as I said , on a limited budget. What does everyone else think?

[EK4R]

here to make it easier for ppl

looks good. looks abit high though, maybe get some springs and give it a drop to fit the guards nice and tight?

[DamienS]

cheers thanks for that.

Might look at lowering, but not for a while yet.

Sorry i didnt know u had the wheel covers, i didnt realise you had the vti, i jumped into the conversation 1.2way throu, (teach me not to butt in i guess), cos yeh plastic covers are crap. looks pretty good, should be way better then the wheel covers.

I got dealer tint, as a friend also did the same thing and got tint afterwards, and then found a massive scatch, tint place said it was there and tinting emphasises scratches and dealer blamed the tint guys. i dont want that hassle.

[DamienS]

No worries, I actually like the VTI-L wheels but Honda quoted me $350 a rim, I dont think so at that proce.

Yeah I had a very detailed look at the tinting before paying for it just to make sure all was ok. My previous car was done with the same company and it was great, so I am not worried about it too much.

[80057]

for 350 a rim you could get a decent set of 16's with tyres, so yeh i would go against it to.

[Sensei]

Looks good. I understand about not wanting to get new tyres (if you went a bigger size). Tyres can be pricey. Silver color on the civic looks nice.

btw, whats with the rope and pegs in the front yard?

I have sectioned off a particular piece of lawn as I am trying to get it to grow, when family and friends come over they have a tendancy to turn around on the grass and it is killing it cos its so dry (water restrictions):confused: so now they cant get on the grass now as well cos of the stakes and rope.
