So I haven't been on here for a long time and hadn't really done anything to the civic. I've been looking at other cars for a long time and was waiting for the right car to come along. Finally i found it!
A '94 Del Sol VTEC. Its in fantastic condition and i'm the third owner. The previous owner had it since 94 and it had less than 10k miles on it. This guy took great care of the car and is pretty much unmollested. The only things done were the VTEC stickers were taken off, headunit, and speakers.
Sorry i don't have any pics yet but i haven't had a chance to take some good ones. I'll post the two i have in a little bit.

The very first thing i did was put in a stock Honda headunit. I know that they suck, but i really like the OEM look and plus i have an iPod adapter for the Honda headunit.
Next step is B&M short shifter and engy susp bushings, OEM aluminum shift knob(thanks Evan), and some pedals. I'll be getting some tint on this bad boy too, the sun is just WAY too hot here to go without the tint.

I'm looking for some EDM visors and perhaps a lip that will fit it. Then a drop and wheels. I think i'll stick with either some OEM wheels that i really liked, LS meshies, or some black ones with a red lip.
I'm also contemplating the idea of getting another set of tail lights and blacking them out to do a full black look, but keeping my options open to putting the stock tails back on. I'll keep updates coming.

Here she is in the garage. She didn't have plates/insurance so she was just sitting. Its awesome that all 3 cars fit.



This is the first pics i took of her on my way up to Utah for a family reunion. This is at the Grand Canyon North Rim.



And some REALLY crappy pics engine bay:

Anyone know of any place to get EDM Visors? These visors suck!

Well not much happening with it yet. I got some stuff in the mail though. Got my shift knob yesterday and got the bushings and pedals today. My cousin has the car right now fixing the dent that was in the rear. hopefully i can have the car back by tomorrow or Friday so i can install my stuff.

That i think will be my favorite mod for a while.

Well i got my car back, and haven't really done much. I installed the shift knob since it only took like 30sec.

My next task is to install my homelink mirror and JDM Visors. It'll just be easier to do them both at the same time.

Thanks.
I'm looking for a lip that will fit it nicely and heard that the EX lip should fit but i want to see what it looks like first.
Lowering it is high on the priority list too.

That looks really good. Fitment looks good too. Nice and snug like it was meant to be on there. Thanks for the picture.

Thanks. It's starting to come along. I'm excited to get things rolling.

I'm really hoping for turbo in the future but we'll see where this goes.

Well the mirror is in and I wired it just to check it. Unfortuantely I ran out of time, so the wires are exposed and very unsightly. I'll be home on Wednesday and will be installing my JDM visors then and tuckin away the wires too.

I had never realized how cool the auto dimming mirrors are.

Any other suggestions on upgrades or mods would be appreciated.

Some JDM goodness:


And unsightly wires, but I'm loving the mirror:

Thanks! I hadn't either but its great.

Ok, so visors are in. Such a difference it makes to have REAL visors. And the wires are all tucked away from my mirror. It looks legit and its VERY functional. The main reason i got it was for the homelink. I didn't really have a place to out my garage door opener in such a small car, so this was the best alternative.
Highly recomended mod for ANY car that doesn't have autodim or if you want to get rid of those garage door openers.
Onto the pics

Before, ugh:


After, nice and neat with full funtion visors:
