CGaud

I wish I could go that dark... Limit is 43% here in UT

Hilbert2010

Yea the limit is 35% i believe in ohio but if a cop wants to pull me over in the middle of winter in the snow or in the summer heat then more power to him. ill take the ticket.

Nice ride. Looks stock but gots goodies underneath.

Tint with Gunmetal rims and your set. Keep the ride height where its at.

Hilbert2010

Thanks! i was thinking about 15X7 Rota GT3 +40 offset in black with a chrome lip. what size tire do you guys think will look good?

Hilbert2010

Update: So i have been searching around for what to do next to my car and here are my future mods...

1. Royal Black Rota GT3 15X7 +40 offset
2. Type R Grille
3. Rear window visor
4. New OEM headlights
5. Rsx Rear sway bar
6. Driver seat rocking chair fix
7. Detailing the whole car with Griot's Garage products

what do ya guys think?

CGaud

Why not just restore your current headlights with plast-x? Everyone is doing it... Just picked up a bottle the other day

Hilbert2010

I might try to restore them, seems like a waste of time when u have connections to get brand new ones for really cheap but I have some plast-x I might try with a orbital and see what happens

If you're buying new headlights, id rather get a pair of crystals instead of OEM

Hilbert2010

What are crystals?

Hilbert2010

I don't give in to peer pressure lol

Been sitting on a 2005 Honda Civic. I have done some simple, mods; they include Custom 2.5" to 3.0" ractive exhaust and a AEM forced air intake w/dry filter. Power increase is noticable but very weak. Sound is great but could be better, as I am running this car with an automatic transmission. I am concidering on purchasing a high flow cat, and 4-2-1 header system in order to really clean up the back pressure issues and direct exhaust issues.
Negitive concerns I have are with this engine itself and its potential for peak performance. I love this year models body and interior features. But hate the SOHC and limited mod availability to the motor. I have made serios concideration to changing the motor and tranmission. But am unsure on this. Im not looking to ingest serios debt, nor do I want that 5 to 6 hundred horsepower beast I would have eatn my left hand for 15 years ago. Yet, im crazy for the whp and love the performance.
What advice or opinions do you all have regarding potential, if there even is any?

1 get 16s 15s are to small on 7th gens
2 the type R grille sure as long as you color match the molding.
3 i like the rear visor idea but only one brand looks good on our cars i will find it for you.
4 hell yeah keep the oem quality nothing else then retro fit one set.
6 sure why not
7 never heard of griots i only use Meguiar's car products nothing else will do.
and dam that tint is dark have fun driving at night.

Theres lot to be sid about custom alterations to these cars. I love the simple body styling and boxy rear end of the civic 7th gen. But do say that slightly more up to dat mods in the lighting department and wheel size are a must. Window tint should always be classy with a great deal of individual flare. And when it comes to additions which increase performance such as steering and suspension you can never go wrong with a pro series or racing series. Any aftermarket company providing parts that acualy fit correctly can be used.

Thanks thats exactly what i was looking for! and Griots Garage is some real deal stuff. Once you use it you will never go back! here is there link. Griotsgarage.com

Hilbert2010

So i just ordered the rear window visor! next i will most likely be getting the supplies i need to polish the swirls out of my paint. I forgot to mention that i got a recall letter in the mail from honda saying that my airbag module needs checked. so i will have that checked out this week too. After looking at my budget, it looks like wheels will have to wait. i know steelies and hubcaps are not the best but they will get the job done till i can save for a new set of wheels.

Crystal headlights

Hilbert2010

Ahh alright i see. I actually like the amber lens in my headlights. besides i like the stock look the best for headlights. im not a fan of halos or angel eyes.

Sorry i havent posted any pictures of the tint with the pinstripe removed. i went away with my family for the weekend and my car is still at the shop getting the tint fixed. when i get home on wed ill take some proper photos for you guys!

Kennykid2002

I'm not really a fan of the amber on the sides, maybe because my car is white

But the good thing about crystals is it's harder to fade than the stock oem headlights.

& the crystals dont use halos or leds or anything, just stock setup, but i think they keep the car a lot more clean looking than oem

Hilbert2010

how good are the reflectors?

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

Dunno, don't have em, but i like the clean look of em tho
I'll probably get them if i decide to keep my car

lowlife9

i wouldn't buy any after market headlights from ebay unless i was doing a retro fit on them because one they leak the light output from the poorly designed reflectors is awful and the UV protection is nearly non existent . stay with the oem if your not retro fitting them.

Hilbert2010

Thats what i was planning on doing. i like the stock headlights anyway

Hilbert2010

well i got home today and here is the car as it sits now. windows tinted, pinstripe removed, and weather techs on. for some reason the weather techs cracked again in the channel on the flange? we will see what happens.

lowlife9

yeah it looks ten times better without the pin strips. i don't no how you keep cracking the visors i installed mine in the dead of winter about 15 degrees outside with no problems i think its probably you not the weather techs.

Hilbert2010

well i install them fine till i start to put the window up and as soon as it gets to the visor it cracks it. whether im pulling out on it or not. im gonna see if they will just refund me my money and ill find some tape ones. im sick of them cracking.

gabriel62510

hey.. i have a civic 2001 lx& its only giving me 20-22 mpg.. can you help me
thanks

lowlife9

were exactly is it cracking ???

lowlife9

this should be in the proper section but my guess is you need a new primary oxygen sensor but it could be many other things.
