Below is an image of my car as it stands, as well as a full list of what I'm doing. Each period will follow with a new pic of the cars current status. This is an 07 LS 5-speed. These are all primarily visual mods, I haven't included my stereo/carputer gameplan. If ya want details on that then ask, or I'll post a thread once I get the other amp and the monitor I need in order to complete the install.

Yeh dude just a couple of tips that i think might work out better for yeh:
1. Ark shorty antenna looks better and no so scabby as cutting urs
2. Check into putting the ss/sc bumpers and side skirts on, you will trick a lot of people with that

 

Springs too dude.

 

needs to be the next mod!

 

Don't forget a hood scoop

 

if anything i'll be getting the fe5 spring/shock combo.

my civic was just way to low, if ya search u'll find it. and yes it was much more comfortable than 99% of the cars you find that low. still was perfect style, but i'm gonna compromise with fe5 stuff. but that's gonna take a bit of time otherwise i'll be risking to much to quick lol.

 

Especially on the base model, the FE5 springs don't drop it that much more. If you're looking for a compromise, I would say go with the Eibach ProKit springs, but I'm running on the Sportlines and personally, I think the ride feels better than stock. My mom didn't even notice the difference in how it rides.

Ignore the shitty colors in the second picture, but here is the result:


I'm just trying to say that if you really want to make an impact on the car's appearance, you need to lower it more than the FE5 setup.

But remember, it's your car: have fun, and do what makes you happy.

 

lower it dude

 

Springs should be your next mod for sure.

 

you forgot something...

cut mudflaps off

 

Well, he's gonna have to if he gets side skirts.

 

good call neo.

 

i would do it now as it costs $0 and looks way better without than with..

just my $.02
