nicole is just really nicenicole is just really nicenicole is just really nicenicole is just really nice
:)

My name is Nicole
I live in southern California
I have a 99 ex that I’m in the process of building
I’m kind of looking for somebody or a group of people, “to take me under their wing,” when it comes to brands, parts, stupid questions I have and somebody to maybe roll with sooner or later

Currently all I’ve done is a K&N cold air intake, Greddy cat back and DC headers
Right now I’m changing my direction to the exterior and looking into a lip kit, head lights, rims, and new paint

Feel free to pm me

Re: :)

Thank you
When I even mention a lip kit to my friends (they all drive jettas) they start in with, why don’t you buy a spoiler and a giant decal too

The part I’m stuck at is what to do after i finish the exterior?

Re: :)

Welcome to the forum. I'd personally work on getting a nice suspension setup before doing exterior mods.

Re: :)

The vw crowd and honda crowd have very different tastes in my experience.

I think everyone here would agree that you can't improve on the look of an oem lip kit, post some pics and we can give more feed back.

Re: :)

Tein is probably one of the most vouched for brands in the civic community, if not THE one.
Even for 6th gens

Re: :)

yea, coilovers you can adjust. As for sticking to american parts, you're rocking a japanese car.. So you should probably be looking at both american and japanese made parts (like tein).

Re: :)

Tein, like the others have said, is a well respected brand. What you really wanna avoid is the stuff made in China and India. Your car looks good. A little TLC and she'll look even better. It's a work in progress, so it seems a little overwhelming. You gotta focus on one thing and then go from there. Hell, I've been trying to get my car together for almost 2 and a half years.

Every American part I’ve ever bought for my civic or mustang has been legal, I’m sure you could buy illegal

I would like to keep it as much as American as i can, maybe keep some jobs here
