Opinions on 7th gen Civic

the one on the corner of doncaster road, and manningham road?

donny road

gonna start a 7th gen thread in the gallery so we show what the cars look like.

hey riced can u link us to the gallery? i dont know my way around here that well.

also, how much would it cost to get fog lights fitted into my 7th gen? i'd have to go to a honda dealer specifically yeah. mmm HIDs would be nice as well. (my car is completely stock at the moment but i'm gaining some inspiration from all the 7th gens in the gallery :) )

do you have the facelift model 7th gen? i've got the one without it, and picked up a set of foglights off ebay for $160AUD include postage and handling. i can link you to the specific seller if you wish. I think HIDs that fit for our cars are H4's. I've got two sets for both my normal headlights 10000k brilliant blue, as well as for my foglights 6000k super white for the extra vision at night coz the blue HIDs are really crap for visibility at night/rainy days. i think you will also need the hi/lo type of HIDs for your normal headlights because i got the wrong pair and now i'm stuck with no high beams, so they flash on and off when i try to engage high beams. if you're interested in a pair, i've got this guy in melbourne that can hook you up with some for a reasonable price! any pics of your 7th gen? good luck making it look sexy! :)

thanks for the info man.
mmm i've got the pre-facelift. it's 03 model and if i remember correctly 04 is when the facelift happened?
anyways the prices of the fog lights and HIDs seem pretty reasonable. so ebay is generally safe for buying car parts huh? if getting HIDs, would it look bad if i had HIDs for the headlights but not for the fogs?
hows installation for all this stuff? i know for a fact that i wouldn't be able to install this stuff myself :P don't really want to take the risk either haha.

anyways if you're wondering what my car looks like at the moment, its dark blue (midnight blue?) and has a rear spoiler :P. all stock. i'm going to get it tinted sometime this week. i need to earn some money these holidays so i'll check back with you in a few months i hope, when i'm ready to spend on fogs + HIDs :D. thanks

i might've seen your car around SHU-ES1, especially if you go to monash. theres a car at monash, black ES1, dark tint and replaced exhaust with massive tip. sounds nuts, it's not your one is it haha?

ah, you got the same model as me! here is a link for the foglights if ever you want to buy them.

i pretty much installed my own. it's quite easy, just take out the plastic covers in the bumper and then screw on the foglights - bumper needs to be removed for this. the switch is easy, goes where the side mirror controls are - the compartment comes out very easily. the tricky bit is getting the wire harness in and connected which is where i paid to get that done. i have a DIY forum that i can link to you if you do ever want to DIY. i think if you are going to get the HIDs, you might as well get two sets for both headlights and foggies - it looks much cooler! :)

riced, let us know when you open up the thread to post up the 7th gens in, since i haven't seen many pics in the gallery and would like to get some ideas on how to hot it up!

dawack1, i use to go to monash clayton back in the early 2000's but i've graduated now. i haven't got an exhaust for my car - will be coming at xmas as a present! eeeeeee! my car has a different black to the standard nighthawk black, i've had a full respray with extra blue pearl in it so it looks pretty - more bluish - during the day :) my baby is sitting on 18's too!

i'd like to see some pics of everybody's 7th gens! and maybe we should organise a melb meet, even if its only a few of us, would be cool! :)

thanks for the link SHU-ES1. So theres my goal for the next few months, save up enough for fog lights + HIDs + installation (too scared to do it on my own haha).

i'm thinking about taking my car into tint-a-car to get it tinted, they said it "starts from as little as $200" and price will depend on what i choose. everyones had good experiences with tint-a-car i hope? any recommendations for other places in melbourne?
i'll have to choose the colour of the tint, it's going to be hard to decide...dark on a dark blue car, or blue on a dark blue car? mmm feels like i'm playing need for speed underground haha.

haha. i got my tinting done at premier tint in keysborough for ~$250 about 4 years ago, 2nd darkest tint.. thinking about it now, i should've gone the darkest - almost pitch black. looks awesome! i just thought about the trouble parking, and vision at night if i went for the deepest colour. if you go for the darkest "legal" tint, its a greenish tinge which imo looks yuck!

hey guys,
some nice looking sedans. there aren't any hatchbacks represented yet but...
planning to mod mine once my exams finish (and i get some money) so keen to get some ideas.
what i have planned so far in chronological order: 18" black rims chrome lip, low suspension set up (coilovers if my christmas bonus is good enough haha), catback exhaust, SRI and post facelift projector headlights (my HIDS are currently blinding everyone with my reflectors =[ )
ill definitely post some pics once its worthy enough... but still a long way to go haha

you should be able to turn your headlights down to aim them closer to the ground.. i think there's a little screw that will fit a phillps-head, face it towards a wall about 7-10m away and you can tune it from there.. i had the same problem for almost 3 years until i figured it out. hope it helps!

haha yeah i did that but theyre still a little glaring, but yeah it definitely helped, much less people highbeaming me now as compared to before haha
