My first 5speed...97 red coupe

[Astheros]

ok guys, so i had an auto before and i finally sold it for this red 97 ex.....i just finished modding it a little but need to fix some things in it..

mods:
dropped on pro kit springs (just done)
painted steelies (haha)
dc strut bar
red led lighting on inside (cc and gauge cluster)

and nothing else...bought it completely stock.
have had it for about 3 weeks now but didnt want to put up pics till it was a little better....its dirty cause it rained last night :-(

take it easy. and i know i have to replace the hood...dent aint too big but i have an oem hood so just need to sand that one and paint it red.

congratulations man.... im not sure abotu the steelies..lol but i have to give you that they DID come out good just not sure if I personally dig them.. keep us updated on the progress.... = )

 

[MasterShake]

if u look real fast they look like auto x's lol

 

[ShinsenTuner]

ahahhahaha, hella JDM steelies yo!

 

[*CiViCcOuPe*]

Need rims, lots of potential keep with the updates

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

yes.....5 speed


nice little drop.. but i bet you will want to go lower in the future

pretty much stock... i wont take off for painting the steelies but .. iono

5 for style
5 for flow
6 .5 for potential......red coupes can be made to look very nice... unlike green and silver which in my opinion are dead ends.

 

[Nine78Guy]

silver are nice too....but black is best. nice start btw

 

[civicboy18974]

why u hating on silver?

heres my silver ej8, its jdm hotness lol

edit by black hope- im just kidding about the green and silver

but lets keep this thread on track about his car

 

[blare]

new rims would be a start, some rota's maybe? nice civic

 

[King Bob]

big props on the steelies, I love them

 

[radarblips]

Reminds me of my old 6th gen when I first got it
Looks like you're off to a good start, keep it up.

 

[Astheros]

i am buffing it this coming week and maybe if i have time some diy black housing headlights and a diy type r grill. i need to fix some exhaust leak problems in it first, so rims will have to wait for now.

 

[oc_civic]

if u look real fast they look like auto x's lol

LOL in all honesty if you saw them moving fast on a highway i bet you would not be all too sure at first..

 

[Astheros]

if u look real fast they look like auto x's lol

i am assuming these are like jdm rims or something...i have heard of them but dont recall how they look.

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

they are these shiney 4 spoke pointy wheel. The person on here with the black foor door witha gsr in it had them..

 

[johno590]

Good potential, but I don't like painting on the wheels.

 

[CivicEX13]

looks good so far...i think the wheels would look better if it was i different shade of red....

 

[MORENO67]

but yo get some rims man it would look better.

 

[sidewayzinCA]

dude...was this the guy that started the poll on which stealies would look the best? i new the red would look SICK!!!

 

[PROS14]
