That makes two of us, the interior is fine with me, tan looks a little more classy IMO, but the hubcaps need replacing. After selling my older (95) civic dx, auto. I wanted a upgrade and VTEC would have been nice but I got a great deal on this one and jumped on it. 5,295 for 03 with 89,000mi, it was a great condition 5 spd. which is hard to find here in Maine. Any ideas on some inexpensive add-ons that won't make it look like a pile of rice?

Re: My Name is Casey

Welcome to the forum. Search the site and members rides and you will find a ton of stuff you can do to it. My suggestion? Lower it, some nice rims.. tint. Start there

Re: My Name is Casey

Classy?
After a while of it, you'll become sick of it haha
Big upkeep to keep it clean too

First thing I would do is tint, then Rims...then lower
And probably paint the handle/mirrors to match the car

I will have to agree... one of the things i loved a lot was to get rid of the (**** - stars intentionally put here ) brown interior of my previous car... was really tiring me eyes. this one with the black interior is much easier on the eyes... If the tan was darker maybe...

Don't call my car a fishbowl again! I have enough feeling like a golden fish with the other drivers seeing evey single thing i do in the traffic signs...

Casey, welcome to the forum. Don't worry, we are all nut cases here, as you can see

Re: My Name is Casey

I'd lower it before rims, but that's just me. I think civics look silly stock height with rims

Welcome the forums Casey.

IMHO Civics CAN look like Tonka Trucks riding stock height with 16"+ rims, but I've seen cases where they don't look that bad. I just put 17s on mine and the ride height isn't all that bad. Granted I still have 200 pounds of old wheels/tires in the back so my analysis may need to be revised once I get them in storage.
