Re: What did you do to your civic today?
It was for bugs, had people taking pictures of the car while driving probably calling it rice, but what ever... it saved me from doing more work, and had fun while driving. Worked out pretty good because it pealed right off with no tape marks.

I feel like taping all of that up and taking it off would take more time than just washing the front end when you got back haha

i would just buy a full nose mask for long trips easier to install better protection and best of all it doesn't look stupid.

Got my new tires mounted last night. went from 215 45 17 to 205 40 17.
No more rubbing on the upper rear fender walls that slant in, can get closer to stock alignment and max my tire life (not tracking so no reason to camber that **** out) and about 1/2" lower to the ground.
Time to work on something other than suspension, rims and tires.....

Today, I farted in my civic.
I got a flat tire yesterday at work though. 3 holes in it, 1 through the sidewall. Needless to say nobody in the city wanted to touch the repair on it. Luckilly I took out "Road Hazard Insurance" on my tires when I got them (about 20k miles ago). So I got a brand new tire for 72 bucks installed. Still a pissoff, especially since I went in to work on an overtime shift and it ended up costing me a new tire
Put the tire back on yesterday. I ended up driving about 50 miles on my spare yesterday too, which was scary as hell.

Today I calmly drove my Civic like a gentlemen while I watched some asshat bury his Legacy into a curb trying to show off...
I need to get a window sticker that says "I don't care how much faster your car is, the speed limit applies to you too."
Traffic light racing is for immature posers.

try drafting behind a big rig next time...... it makes it easy to stay at speed limit......plus you benefit from being in the slipstream.

100% agree
Its 3 1/8" to be exact. however.... honestly I dont know how people go that low. In new england the roads suck so i would lose my under body in about 10 minutes if I was @ 1"... right now if I go any lower I wouldn't be able to make it out of my condo complex due to the speed bump... so im as low as I can go with my DD.

Finally got my fogs installed after 3 months of sitting around!
And man.... the wiring in the kit is soooo wrong! Took a long time to figure out and I had to splice my own toggle switch.
Does anyone else have these and notice that they don't fit very well? It looks like they'd pop right in, but they stick out a little bit and don't sit very straight... does it look okay?
