My whip! plz advise.

[Jas0nEK]

To be clear, this isn't a Member's Rides oriented post. At first, I was waiting for a friend of mine, a pro photographer, to upload some pics he took yesterday. They're nothing special, no modeling, but they're on a high-quality camera and are probably decent in terms of composition.

But on a whim I decided to run outside and snap a quick one of my whip, which I have tentatively named Clarice (do people still name cars?). Soon, I'll collect some good ones from all angles and maybe (MAYBE) a money shot.

I wanted to post these pictures because I want you guys to advise, being experts on this particular year make and model of vehicle. What's missing?

Without getting too graphic, it's your basic black 2K Civic EX. My major mod list goes something like: AEM CAI, Eibach Sportlines, and 15" Konig Heliums (10.5 lbs per?!) on Kumho tread.

Preemptive thanks for any solid criticisms or advice you guys might volunteer.

Looks good, I would probably paint the lip and sides though.

 

[wfw12]

paint match, grill, fogs, mirrors, sidemarkers, rear lip... etc, depends on what you want

 

[Szady]

EK9 sidemarkers, and a rear lip, and ur set exterior wise. Just color match the lip(s) tho.

 

[d00dle]

Just my 2cents

1. paint front lip + side skirt to match the whole body
2. get si/type R grill
3. drop it 'til u don't see a wheel gap
4. upgrade your muffler or chrome tip lol (gotta make it bling)
5. polished lip for your rims maybe?
6. sidemakers

why does everyone like sidemarkers so much?

 

[KScivic]

Clean car. I agree with the others, paint the grille, lip, and sides. I've always been a fan of the Si spoiler, maybe add that. I'm in Kansas too...

why does everyone like sidemarkers so much?

i dont

 

[Mexican EK =)]

pretty sweet ride..and yes people still name there cars...my ek hatch is named the white ghost cus its white and cus its a hatch it reminds me of the ghost's from super mario on the super nintendo LOL

 

[enycesam]

Well, like everyone else said, paint match that front lip and sides. Get a Si grill. Lower it some more and you're good.

looks eerily familiar...............





pull the center caps off the wheels

 

[Ferio Vi-RS]

i would do some sidemarkers, window visors, and slam it all the way. and also a rear lip. then the rest is all motor upgrades, headers, exhaust, cam, cam gear, tune. or swap a k series.

 

[TopGear_]

Looks good
Drop it some more

 

[Drackonn]

looks like a great start - my suggestions:

Griil
Side mirrors
Paint match stuff
some sick suspension mods
what are your engine plans?

 

[Genuine Rolla]

basically all that they have already said

 

[DarkCreep]

Si grill
Match skirts and lips
SIDE MARKERS!! (who cares if everyone has em, f**k THEM, they look good on black EK's)
Si spoiler
Polish lip on rims to match caps
HID's
Si fogs
Tint
rear disk

why does everyone like sidemarkers so much?

bc its madd jdm yo

basically all that they have already said

except where sum1 mentioned kswap.lol

DONT polish the lip. just remove the centercaps and get some regular honda ones. who bases the overall look of their wheels on the centercaps !?

diy headlights werent mentioned i dnt think

 

[d00dle]

Black rim w/ polished lip would look really good, especially on a BLACK car IMO

 

[Billy.]

im a little biased, but i think bronze wheels is the best color for a black car

you can do what i did, paint a red lip on the wheels to add some spice, and make them look a little more like the ce28n that theyre supposed to replicate. and definitely pull the center cap out!

 

[EK|B]

Looks really clean, good start.
