Alright so I've been going on and on about things I want to do to my car appearance wise to set it even further apart from all the other Balts around Campbell.... 90% are driven by army wives who just use it as a Point A to Point B type of car... There are only about 10 cars around the area besides Nashville that guys actually take pride in their balt (I'm one of those)

So far I have these Appearance mods DONE:

• Evo Mod + TC Lower Grill + 2.4 Sport Badge
• Custom Vinyl Wrapped Eyelid Headlights
• Vinyl Wrapped Upper Grill crossbar
• Custom Vinyl wrapped Bowtie
• Black Powder Coated Steelies [17"]
• R1 Eline Cross-slotted & Drilled Rotors + PosiQuiet Ceramics
• Red Painted Calipers
• White Vinyl Overlay for Rear Window dot matrix
• Shorty Antenna
• Custom Vinyl 3rd Brakelight Vinyl
• Shaded Tails
• Debadged Rear-End

What I am considering doing:

• 3rd Gen Colormatched + HID [6000k + DS2]
• CCFL Halos for Both Headlights & Foglights [WHITE]
• Upper TC Grill
• Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrapped Trim [Dash + Shifter + Steering Wheel Trim + Door Bezels]
• Interior LED Conversion
• Black Headliner + Sunroof
• Interior Lighter Power Reroute
• Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrapped A Pillars
• Seatbelt Retention Retrofit [Changing to a better style]
• Wingless [Currently Lowrise]

I would have to say that I would consider the headlights + foglights top priority second to the interior trim pieces getting wrapped in the carbon fiber vinyl. I have a buddy of mine trying to get rid of his Gen 4s and it would give me a good chance to replace the Halos with CCFL's and to Colormatch em to prep them for my HID install...

What do you think would look boss that I haven't considered or something you would do to it (Besides take off the fender stripes + boosted) if it were your car?

 

Anyone?

 

Headlights. Make your own =)

 

id say for the looks of it you on top of your game and headed in the right direction of fixin it up... but id also say if there is "ANYTHING" else you want an opinion on, id say repaint the rims, make the face whte w/ the lip and inside black.. but thats my opinion, honestly i think once you do the gen 4s and take off the wing itll be nice enough.. personally i think leave the stripes but you know if you wanna take em off thats you... looks good so far tho!

 

get the lip kit, and honestly i like ur car, but i hate the vinyl eyelids.

 

How do u like your R1 rotors and posiQuiet cermaics? was thinking of getting that setup..

Anyway, I think do the LED interior conversion. Did mine from super brightleds.com. Looks great. Also, do the rim paint. I would tie in white with the black rim. Would look killer

 

Slam it!

 

dont lowerider slam it haha....lower it, im planning on lowering mine, but wallet is a little empty

 

hell naw put it on the ground, it turns so many heads.
its the first thing anyone notices about my car

 

^^^^ dont listen do this guy lmao ...people from mexico do that (and I'm Mexican/White) lol, they slam civic and ricer stuff...Give it that sexy stance like a bad a*s 350z or skyline haha

^^^^lol
no to be honest Im debating about bringing it back up .25 in. i scrape on everything and the only reason it is that low is because i was in a competition with a buddy of who will be lower for the Ohio cobalt meet

 

thats cool slam is good for a car show, but for driving Hell NAAAAHHH!!!. pot hole and bumpy roads...

BNS06Mike: I like how we're giving him advise and he isnt even online haha....its like we're giving each other advise

 

lol, he'll see it eventually
but yeah holes/bumps/inclines/speed bumps. THEY ALL SUCK lol
ive also got a 3in exhaust on it and i scraped that the other day.

 

I'm already on SSC's with FE3 shocks/struts. Only thing I could do to go lower on a decent budget is FE5 and that will only drop me another 1/2 inch or so. As it stands I'm a tight 2 finger gap in the front and a loose 2 finger gap in the rear (Tire to Fender)

I won't be doing anything to do the rims. They are powder coated and I like them. The eyelids I'm outgrowing and the fender stripes too. Once I do my Colormatched Headlights with Angel eyes on fogs and the headlights Ill be out of that phase. Was a good winter mod since the cut off helped with snow glare for other drivers.

I have done tons of things on the outside of the car and litterally nothing on the interior except a aux cable delete and that was out of necessity (The fuggin thing kept getting wrapped up in the shifter)

I won't slam it, It already rides stiff as hell...

Thanks for the input though =)

 

They are awesome! Even during high speeds I don't get any wobble in the wheel from light or hard braking, they don't overheat as fast and they reduced my curb weight by 12 lbs.

 

lol... sig worthy! hahahhahaa! ne ways.. where and how much was the breaks?? i tend to get up on my car alot on the highways out here and im really thinkin bout a brake upgrade!

 

Looks pretty good.

 

lower it, get rid of the ghey eyelids, get rid of the ghey hashmarks and find a lip kit... keep the stock headlights... all of the aftermarket projectors are rice... they belong on a civic in 2003... if you want to get HID's then get a retrofit kit if you'd like the projector, they look nice.

 

FRont lip

 

De-rice the slow 2.4?

Seriosuly id shotgun blast my face before Id make my car look like that, but to each their own.

 

Forgot to mention these installed parts as they technically weren't "APPEARANCE MODS"

• SSC Lowering Springs
• John Powell Street Rear Sway Bar
• ZZP Front Strut Tower bar
• ZZP 2.5" Catback Exhaust (11226 Magnaflow Muffler w/ Stock Tip)
