SO Long Civic

well it happened about a month ago, but figured I would share with the Civic community.

Bye Green Machine


Hello Black Beauty

It's the black one, when she was on the lot. Has a spoiler and is the base line model. Couldn't really afford the HEMI or anything.

Re: SO Long Civic

Nice. Purchase or lease?

Those are fun cars.

You should tint the windows dark and get the rims/grille powdercoated black

Re: SO Long Civic

The ONLY way I like those cars are if they are blacked out. Black it out. I hate chrome.

It was a purchase. I am planning on tinting the windows fairly dark. But other than wheels this car will probably be mod free...

What wheels are you planning on?

Re: SO Long Civic

Probably black wheels with a chrome lip. Of some sort. Staggered 22x9.5 fronts and 22x10.5 rears.

I work for a wheel and tire store and I still haven't found a solid set of wheels that I like. I was kinda even thinking about doing black chrome or "Hyper chrome"

Re: SO Long Civic

dodge is the only domestics i really like. I like there diesel trucks just because it can make gobs of torque and I like their old muscle cars. Most there newer cars I don't like but I do have to say that the new challengers look absolutely gorgeous. I saw a blacked out charger the other day that looked really good too. One of my friends bought a brand new 2005 Neon sxt and it is a POS. the interior is crap and the tranny clunks horribly after only 24,000 miles. To the OP just keep it looking nice and I hope you like it.

Although chrome really isn't my thing, these cars just beg for it.

These TIS 01s would look good.

Re: SO Long Civic

no hemi=no care.


btw ugly *** grill.

You know what? This will decimate all... after we put about fifteen grand or more under the hood. If we have to, overnight some parts from Japan.


usually like them. not feeling this one. and its not because of our past differences. i genuinely don't like it.

Re: SO Long Civic

i don't like the grille...shoulda bit the bullet and got the R/T at least. i think the novelty will wear off in a few months. if it's to be your daily though, you'll be fine. if you're gonna get chrome though, then go all out. otherwise it looks half-assed on those cars for some reason. black on black is just killer though, those cars do stealth really well. my boy has a silver R/T with all the old style decals and stripes on black deuces....thing is sweet. grey leather and he got the silver/gray carbon fiber dash kit to go with it. really nice ride. nice whip

i hope you enjoy it for what it is.

Re: SO Long Civic

^^You guys suck. R/T or not who cares? If it don't gotta Hemi and since you don't care why even post in here? You think the novelty will wear off in a few months? I think you sound like a a**hole.

I hope you enjoy it for what it is? What is that supposed to mean really?

So what bothers people like you more.. Trading in a Honda Civic or buying a Dodge Charger? Something got you guys salty. Let the guy enjoy his car don't rain on his thread.

Re: SO Long Civic

Man, a bunch of dudes driving no-hp econoboxes and a few piece of **** older Hondas giving a dude crap because he bought a car with a proper power delivery system (read: RWD) because he couldn't afford the Hemi. I refuse to use the word "haters" so I'll just say that some of you are *********.

Don't worry. One day, many of you will trade in your econo-box, inline 4, 130bhp starter cars for vehicles higher up the food chain and will start to lose your inane prejudices.

Er... what am I talking about? Econo-boxes with no hp and no torque are awesome. They're >>>>>> everything!!!!!!!11!!1!!!!!!

Re: SO Long Civic

Im not saying the civic is the top of the line, but a civic is better than a brand new us domestic anything even if the civic is a hundred years old.

There are definately upgrades, but this isnt one of them.

A 100yr old is Civic is better than any brand new domestic? People like you are half the reason I sold my Honda and will never buy another.

Here are a few American rides that are leaps and bounds better than any counterpart Honda has ever produced. You can say you disagree with me, but I warn you - you'll be wrong.









So, with your mentality, if one of the aforementioned cars was to pull up next to you at a stop light and offer to trade rides on the spot, you'd turn them down? What would you say? "No"? "**** you"? "I'm perfectly happen with my 7 year old 99whp Honda"?
