Suggestions?

[HatchmanEJ6]

sup all. jus wanted some ideas thrown @ me to see what I should do with my new car. long story short had a not @ fault accident. some lady rear ended me. I had a 95 si hatch. here she is may she rest in peace.

to summarize she had garbage insurance who only gave me $910 for it saying it was totalled. didnt have time or money to fix, I go to school and work full time. It had a jap spec engine ,intake and the other usual mods. so after parting ways with my 1st car ever I found this one which has great potential.

my new car

mileage was a big plus!

98 dx hatch. Bought it from a dealer who just repoed from the slacker who had it before. ( thanks for the headers buddy!)
What im thinkin is front /rear lip, grille, and maybe a spoiler for now as far as exterior. I would want to do more but I have my girlfriend in my ear " get a grown man car!" you all know how that goes. she hates it. ( i luv that she does. lol) anyways just wanted some ideas thrown @ me. should I be original or just make this another civic on the road? Of course I wanna make it sick, but I might not have the time or $$ for it. so theres my dilema

lips are always a good way to go. i would say do some suspension work. foglights would help set off the front as well

 

[HatchmanEJ6]

yeah I was thinkin about doin some suspension work as well. doin about 80-90 mph on I-95 if I go over a lil hump in tha road im almost outta my seat! She needs some lil things too. matching headlights for one!!! they work so I dont really care right now. and tha audio sucks right now too. thats a must for me

 

[hardcore97]

thats probably because your driving so fast. i would be out of my seat if i did that but my suspension is super stiff

Get lips, grill, suspension, 15 in rims, and fogs. then make it fast

Get suspension, wheels and tires.. then make it fast... No need to blow ur $$$ on mods that arent going to improve the performance of the car. IMO

I would suggest keeping it stock.

Revert to stock, sell it, get a "grown man's" car. Listen to your lady, she is wise.

I know i def want fogs/front, rear lip/ grill. I love the black hood look too. would probably not go the carbon fiber route tho.

she already lost that argument!! my money/ my choice!!! lmao

I was gonna get a 99 ex. it was a lil ricey tho had a ridiculous kit, gauges, etc. I'll admit it was a bit much.

. but u cant beat filling up the tank with $16!! gas is $1.88 down here now.

 

[eskateboarding7]

^ ^ ^ ^ good choice! Just don't rice it out like your last car. If that pic right there is your inspiration, you're on a good path.
