Nothing to actually show just yet. I bought front crash bolts and rear camber kit. Still hung up on which struts I want to use. It's between tokico blues and koni yellows. Pretty sure I want to go yellows because the spring rate is better and the car will be less bouncy. My lugs for the wheels will be ordered in 2 weeks and tires, well, need new ones. Buts it should be a few more weeks until I'm able to have a good update for you guys.

Also, I'm debating blacking out the "H" on the front grill or getting a full mesh black grill with no emblem.

Other debate is wether or not to get black housing head lights. I'm leaning towards getting them and selling the fogs I have for smoked ones.

Thoughts?

I think that would look great Sam, Its really the best approach to take on the car being that you have the black wheels, so really as long as you have those wheels and the tint on there... I wouldnt be adding any colors other than black.

Oh are you looking at the car in my avatar? Not my car . I would like mine to look like that one day. My car is stock at the moment. I was debating plasti dipping my shogun wheels, but I think silver on silver would look sweet.

My windows are tinted so I think the black housing lights and fogs would really set off the front end a lot. But that will come after the car is lowered.

A black mesh grill would look cleaner then the "H" being blacked out but if you do decide to black out the "H," you can never go wrong with Plasti-Dip.

I would go with Koni yellows since they are a popular choice, also can't go wrong with Koni. Black housing headlight are always a nice choice on any car really, weird thing on how black housed headlights can make the headlights/front end so much more appealing.

Another thing, get red lugs because race car.

oh, my bad sam... well if you do want your car to head the route of your avatar pic. I still recommend doing those things, the blacked out grill mesh would look alot better than just smoking the emblem. Silver on silver does look great and well if you do decide to go black on the wheelsit really does need to be the perfect shade of color, and im not sure plastic dip could pull that look off any different then the local neighborhood teen who spray bombs them black!

I think a set of these would look nice on a silver car

[tipnitty]

Those wheels look pretty nice, but would probably be out of my price range. If I decide I don't like the enkeis, I'll probably just go with a set of rota wheels. But we shall see. Personally I think most people will hate the wheels, but I'm putting money on it that I will like them. After I lower it, modifications will be few and far between. I'm hoping to go quality parts so I won't have to worry about the parts failing.

I graduate soon enough and don't want to pour too much money into the car. After I graduate, it's on to big boy toys and the civic remains a dd

Nothing new, just busting my ass in classes and not working. So no income . And Koni Yellows are expensive so I cant quite afford them. Makes me sad because the GC's are sitting on my desk and teasing me.

Well as I stated in AAG, I have made a TON of purchases for the car. Finally time to work on it a little bit and get rid of the boredom I have for the car. More updates within the weeks.

I've always been too broke and had a girlfriend to work on a car. Now I have money, and no girlfriend, as ironic as that is.

Disregard women, acquire currency.

[tipnitty]

That's pretty much what has happened. Not willingly though.
