Hey, CC just showing some pics of my car and telling what I've done to it...

Got the car stock.
Added 6k hi/low HIDs, 99-00 tail lights, window visors, 20% tints all around and just picked up a set of si rims today.

Also have a full exhaust system to put on. DC header, the "mid" pipe (pipe from the cat to the muffler) and an apexi ws2 muffler.

Few questions about that though, the o2 sensor on the header is near the cat and on the stock header its close to the flange on the block. What do I need to do here to keep my o2 sensor?

Enough of the talking onto the pics:
Sorry, no pics of when I first got it on my computer but it was just a plain stock civic...
before:


after:




Let me know what you think!

save for them though, don't just get what you can afford. I got a nice pair of teins that ride really good, but it's not low enough. so save for those F&F's. and look around on the site, there's a few sponsors that have sales. they were 550 not too long ago.

Yea, I plan on saving for them. I don't wanna do lowering springs because I live in NY so I'd raise it back up to stock for the winter months.

needs lowered lose the pin strips.. The rims are sweet and its clean you can lower a car and live in ny to. I lived in wayne nj for a bit and had a 3 inch drop on a maxima i just used studs in the winter.

look up DIY grille and DIY black housing headlights

the grille can be bought at home depot its called expanded sheet metal

the headlights all you need is sandpaper, silicone and paint.

total cost for me was under $50, it makes your car look mean

Just move the O2 sensor?

isubliminall: yea I've seen them on here and plan on doing the headlights, not sure if I want to do the grill though.

whoopnip: I can't really move the o2 sensor. The wires are not that long and won't make it that far down the header.

You'll have to extend the wires. I think I've heard of commercially available kits, but it should be pretty easy to just solder some wires in to extend it. Make sure you use the same gauge or thicker.

Thanks for all the compliments guys and whoopnip, I guess I'll have to do that.
Once my install is done I'll have to post more pics.

Make sure you get a thinner tire when your current ones run out.
