im all for you people who mod their civic some of your cars are bad *** but american muscle and lowriders have always been my thing. i know alot of you guys bought your civic with intents of modding it i bought mine because its the best daily driver for a good price plus it looks good.

im not against imports at all but i am against the "import scene" and lets face it altezza's and wings are a huge part of it. i hope this helps some people better understand me.

Do whatever you want. Lowriders are what first got me into cars. Back in the day I wanted to put deep dish Daytons on my old 88 Mazda 626 LX . (I don't think I've ever admitted that in public before) Built a few lowrider bikes in my day too.

Black powder-coated Daytons sound pretty unique, don't think I've ever seen that. Good luck :thumbup:

Same here. A friend of mine got me into it.

I say it's up to you sadboy. I'm sure no matter what car you choose for your lowrider project, it'll turn out looking sweet in the end.

Agreed. That would look sweet. Would the whole thing be powder coated black? Or just the spokes?

look again hoe! lol but yeah that would be nice.........i say you go for it!think about it this way.......the reason that you didn't get that car was because you didn't want to deal with any engine problems right? so you got the vic....now the civic is one of the best daliy driver around! and it's almost paid off right? so all you have left is money for gas, and your car(and something else of course). please leave your car stock! and just put all that money into the project ride homie.

If it's going to be a project, get an older one. They make better low riders.
