Hey everyone, I just bought this 1997 Civic last weekend. It has already been partially done up, but I'm going to get it re-painted in a couple weeks. I also have some 17's on the way that should be on later this week. Let me know you're comments and suggestions and tell me what you think. I bought it for $4500 and haven't dont anything to it yet.

In Before someone comments on the altezzas.

Looks real good and you got that thing for a steal. First thing you should do is clear the headlights and make em black housing if you are looking to do a cheap exterior mod.

Alrighty here's the thing...the rear end got hit back in 2002 before I got the car of course, and was replaced with parts from a EX. The badge got left there and all I'm gussing...it should have been replaced with a HX badge but it never was. As for the rims I can't remember what brand they are. They are on my friend's 99 Si right now, and he's going to sell them to me for $400. Lets see..the brand's logo is 3 Inititals with each initial in a yellow rectangular box. It's not ADR for sure, I just can't think of it right off. Anyway they are like 18? maybe 16 spoke silver rims with super low pro nitto tires. They are VERY nice looking, and I'll post some pics of them as soon as they get put on. As for the HX comments, ya I know the car's engine kinda sucks. Add the CVT tranny with it and you have one slow ass car. My dad own's a salvage yard and he's going to see if he can find a civic that had some rear end damage that we can get for nothing then just do a swap. Nothing done to the interior yet either. I do have 2 Rockford Fosgate 12's and Fosgate 1000w Amp, but I'm selling those to go toward the paint job. If you are interested let me know...they are on eBay right now with a high bid at like 114.00 I think. Thanks for the comments so far...I'm new to the Civic world so the info is appreciated. I'm comming off having a 95 Mazda MX-6 that I did a buncha custom work to before I sold it a couple weeks ago. Thanks again for the comments.
