I want to modify the exterior of my 04 white civic.
I have been looking at body kit and also a carbon hood. Any ideas? How much am i looking to spend? wanna paint the car as well. Should I do it white, will it be good combination with the carbon look of a hood? what rims should I look for? Do you know any place to buy body kit and hood in NY that is convenience with price?
Thanks!

Ditch the carbon fiber hood idea, looks stupid unless the car is black or you paint the hood. I'd go with either a white or gold wheel, best choices for a white car, I think.

IMO i think that the CF hood looks good on a white car as long as it is oem style.

id go for an oem style cf hood, lip kit not bodykit, and some gold rims.. the best thing to do to a white car

If you want a black hood, don't waste your money, just paint your hood black.

Also if it's a daily/winter driver then don't get any type of body kit you can't remove for the winter/spring. Or if you're in Canada, October - June.

painting a hood can cost more than a cf hood

I've got a white 04 too. I've got red rims, i think it looks sweet. JDM ftw

And a turbo costs more than just putting on the stickers. If you want to pretend you're a racer, I guess go ahead.

Japan's auto manufacturers released cars in their domestic market with red wheels? I don't remember those.......

Seriously, white car? Here's some white wheels for you...







And goooooooooold......





But it's your car, you should be looking at what other people have already done and see if you like it.

By saying JDM not only are japanese domestic manufacturing releases implied, but all stylings branching off of that, i.e. red and white

DeX

Then it's not the domestic market. Plus chances are your wheels were made in the USA anyway. Specific colour combinations are not JDM.

There's JDM-style and JDM LOL .. there's a difference i.e. does it say "MADE IN JAPAN"

DeX

What you're referring to is Japanese style, not JDM style. It's styling cues taking from the aftermarket tuning crowd in Japan, not the domestic auto manufacturers, that's the difference. JDM as an acronym is way too overused in the Honda tuning community. Also, it's been around in the North American market for so long now I'd almost consider it world wide, not just Japanese anymore.

Lol allow me to revise my previous statement. Japanese styling ftw

DeX

haha YES!
