what do you tihnk i should add?

[lethal6]

I am confused on your numbers. If Cali has a 60% tint law then you are wasting your money. The legal limit here in Washington is 35% and that is pretty light. Most people that have their windows tinted do 20% and that is pretty dark. 5% is limo. The higher percentage the lighter the tint is. The numbers are the percent of visible light that is allowed in. 60% is a was of time and money, hell, anything above 35% is a waste in my book unless you are just going for UV protection and not looking to darken your windows.

You can tint the windshield (the guy that did mine will do the windshield for $100). He has it done on all 4 of his cars and his work truck. Looks pretty good. It is pretty light though and is mainly there for UV and sun glare.

I'm with these guys. No on the hub caps. No on the wing, unless it is OEM. No on the paint, unless you have the money. Yes on the lowering, yes on stereo, and yes on the tint.

You are thinking into the stereo too much. Look around, find a head unit that you like and can afford, find some good speakers to go with it. If you want more power, get an amp to drive the speakers, if not just run them off the head unit. It's not hard and it isn't complicated at all until you start getting into the high end technical which it sounds like you just want an upgrade from stock so you don't have to get into the hard stuff yet.

Please don't ruin the car your dad took good care of and then thought of you by handing it down. The car looks perfect as is. imo, you should leave it that way.

If you got 1000 to spend IMO i wouldnt do any of the stuff you mentioned that you wanted to do its too rice... Now thats my opinion... I would get a set of rims not chrome. mabey like a bronze or black and drop it. you can get a set of springs at a reasonable price at an "ok" ride with no worrys of scrapping or anything... springs wont lower you more than 2 inches at the most. then your well on your way to a nice ride man..

yeah with the tints i was thining 60% blockage 40% allowed in, yeah my bad
cus 35%in is legal in CA so just incase i get some dumb cop 30 i should be good,

i think im gunna so with an OEM Si Spoiler from http://www.spoilerexpress.com/cart/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=160, that looks the best to me, and cheepist.

hmm, what should i look for with new springs? and where should i look to get them?

wow thank you guys so much for the input btw

 

[R3dline]

get some tein springs, they ride good, and not much of a drop

 

[ketadotdot]

Don't think they're gonna allow you to tint your windshield.

hahahahahaha

 

[eurotuner008]

Dude your gonna rice that s**t with what you wanna do i say do 20% tints for like $180 some used block or gunmetal rims off craigslist.com for like $200 some eBay coil overs or lowering springs for $100 till you save for good springs and lowering it really doesn't effect the drive ability only if you drop in more than 2 inches an eBay si grille for like $35 some eBay oem look fogs for $60 not pep boys fogs! a head unit, sub, and amp should be fine and around $400 forget speakers because civic speakers are decent and then if you must smoke the lights no darker than your tints and get the spoiler if you really need it after that and you'll still probably have money and your ride will look nicely tuned not ridiculously riced out!!!! and good luck let me know how it comes along

 

[vjf915]

Nigga how are you going to have enough money to get your whole car painted but not enough money to get a set of rims?????






And this.......I really wish that being an idiot meant perma-ban.

WOW dude that helps so much, thank you

im thinking of changing the color to a Jade Metalic Green like the one 2slo4u has. and i think your idea of getting the rims off Craigslist is a good idea, On my car now is 13in ones now i think 15in rims would work probably gunmetal
i found these; http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=16264

lowering springs; i have been looking around at and ebay and i found these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Dropzone-lowering-springs-92-00-Honda-Civic_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1240Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem380115906508QQitemZ380115906508QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
honistly im not sure what to look for in lowering springs

for the radio new headunit for sure, speakers i kinda got to replace cus 2 of them are blown out (not my fault haha) and sub, maby a small one just to give that umph, and im not sure what an amp would really do for me, haha

also with the fog lights, i kinda like the yellow ones instead of the white lighted ones

please tell me what you think
THANKS!!

 

[mixwell]

1) Changing the color to more of a Charcoal color
2) window tints
3) rear spoiler wing, not one that is really big and outrageous just like a 2 or 3 in one
4) chrome hubcaps, only because i wouldn't have enough money to put new rims on it, but it will still hopefully look good
5) probably changing the taillights, just a better design and smoked out
6) new radio and speakers, it has the stock radio and speakers that suck, just enough to play some loud music.


if you guys can give me better ideas or any ideas that would be amazing,
thanks

1. nah.
2. if it gets hot in the summer, yea. also get some visors, it'd look cleaner.
3. if you are getting a spoiler, get a simple one.
4. no no no no. get some si wheels if you don't want to dish out some major cash for wheels.
5. no. any other design is sofa king retarded.
6. do what you do, just read 7.
7. get an alarm.

 

[midnight9703]

1) keep whatever color u have
2) i have 25% and it's nice and dark enough for me yet i have never been pulled over
3) get a stock wing dont go rice
4) save for rims. if u must have hubcaps keep oem ones
5) no altezza's. u can smoke up but dont go euro
6) +1. good idea, change the radio and speakers.

and add a lip

that's just my opinion

 

[Vdoc92]

6) headunit and speakers
7) and im still playing with the idea of lowering springs


thats where i think im at
anyone else pplease help me out with ideas and input

 

[bud6770]

get the si style spoiler, some si rims, lower it when you can afford it (ground controls are nice) dont mess with your lights AT ALL. tint your windows like 50% get a decent tip, like a pilot tip, no fart can and now diesel sized tip. As far as stereo goes dont worry about specs too much, just get a decent pioneer deck and some pioneer speakers. If you want bass, then just go get a cheap package deal and have them install it. If you dont know much about cars dont touch it.

 

[Vdoc92]

i was wondering if anyone knows of any good colors, probably not OEM but im thinking like a dark metallic Grey , but also something like a jade metallic green

idk, i cant really find a color, if anyone knows a a good site to actually see the colors or anyone got pics it would be appriciated
