What to get
Alright Im taking a step on my civic. Im gona have about 500 dollars to spend. Whats would you recomend getting? Not wheels, already have a short shifter, sound system, otherwise stock.
Power. Maybe full racing exhuast. From like the headers back. That would be really cool and would totally compliment that short shifter. Also are u intrested in HID lights? Cause 500 should get a really flashy pair.
Smoked out tail lights would be nice. Dropping it will make the ride look agressive. U can also get a descent Cat back exhuast from ebay for like 125. Its 2.5 inch piping and the exhuast tip is 4.5 inches. Looks agressive and sounds really nice. Lemme know what ideas u have towards ur car.

this is what i say you do.
1. drop (springs & struts) ~$400.00
2. black out headlights ~15.00
3. JDM Style tail lights ~$50.00-100.00 on ebay $300ish for real JDM lights
4. 16" rims (bronze or silver) 500-1000
5. Exhaust
6. RS style lipkit

Cenz y the 16 inch rims? Y not go 17? 17 is perfect for our car. 16 is 2 small and 18 is 2 big. so 17 is perfect. Also for the jdm lights u should go with projectors. They make the car look so so so cool. U know the angle eye lights.

i listed what i thought would look good, and it JDM styled, so 16" flows better with that. but i got 17s on my coupe.

you would be suprised with the look of 16's on a civic..I've seen lots of members on this site with 16's and it looks really good. The only reason I can think to get 16's if you are set on 17's,would be if you're city has really bad roads.
pick up a set of tokico blues for around $300 ish and that leaves a couple hunderd for some springs and maybe a spc camber kit, front bolts are like $20 ish the rear camber arms are pricey in the $100, i bought both front and back for
$90 on ebay had to wait a while to find a deal though.
Tein S techs for $140 shipped

Here is rear camber kit by SPC $125
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPC-R...spagenameZWDVW
Front camber bolts $15 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ingal...spagenameZWDVW
That leaves $220 to figure out some struts.

Cenz, the sedan with the gold rims, looks like a ghetto rapper that got his teeth plated. How about silver rims.. or a true (deeper)bronze?



thats how i would start.
