Hey what's up? I"M new to the site and I just wanted to let everyone see my car and tell me what you think of it. It is a 1996 HONDA Civic Dx, pretty much stock considering I JUST turned 16 on March 4th so I haven't had much time to do buy any parts for it.
that is what it looked like when I got it.

I will post more in a bit.

you have two air filters on... one on the tube, one in the air box?

wow ur rims look alot like mine

yeah i know I hate mine their American Racing, and curbed like crazy by the previous owner. When those pictures take I had just gotten the car. and no I didin't have 2 filters the one in the box was gone.
and then I had bought some autozone fogs.

and I also took the pin striping off of the car.
After that I got bored one day and did a small wire tuck on the car.
Before:

After getting my strut bar, I had to make my own intake but I'm buying one now.

and the way that I have my interior setup now:

and the car with my new headlights that looked good at the time I bought them, but now I'm not really liking them that much.

Need's a drop bad.....

I already have the coils for it but I'm waiting to do it at a friends house, because its been balls cold here lately.

 

[kangaroo]

it's not that bad.

just drop it like it's hot and it will look a lot better.

well, you got time to fix her up- ur only `16, it will come together.....lower it, and for temp- paint the rims black!!

It looks like a good start. But stay around here and you'll have plenty of ideas for the future.

welp, you have a clean slate to work off of bro...! Definitly go through the DIY section of this site to find some kool and cheap things you can do to your ride. One being the DIY black housing headlights....I think that would make the front of your car stand out. Definitly put it on drops bro!!! it'll look so much better. Also, check out some OEM foggies...you just might like them.

to club civic bro..!

not to bad to start with, just take ur time and dont just put something on ur car etc... just cuz its cheap or available. If it looks good with the car and will fit with what you plan on doing then good, but if it doesnt or ur not sure then just wait. Thats what I'm doing. The impulse to buy stuff when you have the money doesnt mean that you should buy it or that itll look good on ur car. I've seen alotta people that seem to have that idea and alot of the time it doesnt work very well or looks like crap.

 

[Jordan_n]

ur rims look smaller than mine tho, mine are 15", gotem for 200 bucks with tires, they got a few nicks and are gonna get sand blasted here soon

but awsome start, good job on the tucking,

 

[Slept-n]

look like its on hydro's LOL

That was the first thing that I did when I joined was go through the DIY's and it's really informative. Great site you guys got here. Yeah I've done everything to the car myself in my own garage, and I think I've done pretty good on alot of the stuff that I've done. And I'mlooking for some JDM yellow OEM fogs right now and I can't afford some new ones so if you know of any for sale let me know. And I measured my rims with a tape measure and they came out being 14.5" with the lip.lol. But thanks for the tips keep em' coming.
