First Honda EJ8 slow build

[cjpcody5]

I am new to the site and have a 97 civic ex. I bought the car a few days ago and decided to build it some. When I bought the car it was stock. Here is what it looked like when i first got it.

Problems: Speedometer intermediately works, previous owner said something may need tightening under the dash, any help. Thanks.

Plans for now: (may change)
Tint
Mesh Grille
Black housing head lights
Fix paint...


Mods: None

Welcome to cc... as for the grill and headlights why not just DIY them? Search the fourm here there are tons of threads on how to do it yourself for pretty cheap too.

@yamaharider324 i would but it seems difficult and i sealed one of the headlights already so i didnt think it would come apart...plus i just bought some haha
