[Heir Apparent]

What does everyone think? What should I do next?

 

[s_crowley 17]

lowerrrrrrrrrrr that clean sedan and paint your grill

 

[96swpdEK]

coiloverrrrsssssss

 

[Heir Apparent]

D: I live in Minnesota. Winter = depressing. I don't want to be a snow plow.
I need to find some damn inza red paint too.

 

[oddeb707]

lower it or gtfo

 

[DarkCreep]

If you are scared of snow, get Tein S-Techs. They lower your ride about 1.5" which very little but it will make a big difference in your sedan.
Paint the grill
Add sidemarkers.
Fog lights
m3 style trunk spoiler
tint
stereo+sounds

Awesome post DarkCreep. Holy f**k, thank you now I have an outline of things that I would like to do.

Hey DarkCreep Haha. Anyway, to be exact, S-Tech will lower your car by 1.7 Front and 1.9 Rear, wait till it settle down, it will be about 2" all around

Should I buy this?

I got the tint and stereo/sound (just need subs+amp).
I'm looking into the springs right now.
Paint - gotta find inza red. Do I spray paint it? Or paintbrush it?
Sidemarkers...That will be a fun project. Can't be tooooo hard. I saw a good tutorial on it.
Fog lights...Mmm, checking that out.

Yup that spoiler is sweet. I'd paint the black inserts on the door, side skirts, and grill all at the same time, looks very clean though and agreed, MN winters blow

 

[Jbuck2KCivic]

Lower it. What color is that?

 

[EK|B]

lowerrrrrrrrrrr that clean sedan and paint your grill

+1

 

[Quebec_Civic]

its funny how 3/4 of the threads that are titled.. what should i do next ... are cars that are all Not lowered! lol

SLAM IT DAMMIT!!!!!!!



BtW i live in quebec... so yeah as far as winters .. i raise it a lil bit and take of my front lip

 

[MILD99CIVIC]

Great progress. Did you ever fix the front driver fender/door? Get an alarm next if you haven't already.

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Not sure if sidemarkers would go well with that color. Maybe smoked ones.

Definitely lower it, lip, ctr mirrors, paint the grill, etc

 

[TopGear_]

lower it for sure. get a lip and paint match everything

Wasssup!!!!


Ive seen cars on S-techs, and the drop isnt that much. Its a nice drop for someone who wants a clean look but doesnt want to take all bumps and dips at an angle.

 

[Heir Apparent]

Thanks so much guys, sorta made a "grocery" list of what I need.

Quick question! How do I install the spoiler so it stays on?


And as far as the painting goes...isn't that really expensive? I would also have to find an inza red paint. I've never painted anything on a car.

(Another lame question...CTR = ? I see CTR Lip, CTR Mirror, Etc and I have no clue what that stands for.)

I appreciate all the advice. You guys kick ass!

Get a professional shop to install the spoiler lip. That way it will be guaranteed with them and since your already in the body shop, tell them to paint the spoiler and front grille.

As far as 'CTR' goes, it stands for 'Civic Type R' which is the Japanese performance version of the civic hatchback. (6th generation civics that is) Many people prefer the clean, OEM look and they still want to keep most parts from factory, so they buy CTR parts.

+1 on lowering it but IMO i would go with smaller rims like some 15s or 16s max 17 are too big, but that's just me im just thinking outloud
