lol, i might get someone to photoshop the lips/mirrors/door handles to match the car, but i personally like the black/red style. yes sideskirts will come, but $$$ must come 1st, thx for imput. Maybe after i get the sideskirts installed ill take a few pics from a few angles, then ask for them to be chopped into red, and post a poll to see who likes what better, but the final opinion is mine, and personally ( other than the needingness of sideskirts, i like it so far, thats y i posted sexyiness because i like my car)

i think we need a smiley that dances around in a circle and points it's fingers upwards in a disco-esque motion.

Vantage

i did jump to the defensive quick, not about the JDM Thing tho. I realise now that there is no JDM coupes, ive only been into the 7th gen scene for 4 months( thats when i got my car), i just got pissed off cause someone gave me a rep saying.


" you're a ******! You don't know **** about cars! You prob fell into a honda and feel you know it all."

This after i spent 4 years building an N/A Crx with a b18a/ b18b head, and running 13.8's.. and helping on a car that now runs 11's.... just kinda gets me a little edgy..

then i ask for feedback on how to make it look better, and all i get is

" your car looks like trash"

I just hate people that are dumb, and just beak off cause its not their style.

booba5185

yea, it's time for the thread to be locked, we're done here

if youre asking for feedback on how to make your car look good, then listen to me, cause i have amazing taste, haha.

1. paint the lip kit to match your car (i'd get a different lip kit if i were you..maybe kaminari or something, the kit you have now is too plain).

2. if i were you i'd paint your car a different color (i like black, silver or white). i'm not a big fan of red but oh well i guess.

3. get bigger/different wheels. if you want black wheels then at least get some with a polished lip. but if you wanna keep your car red, i dont think you should get black wheels at all (black and red dont go good together). just get a regular silver.

4. tint your windows like 35% or something

5. paint that bottom piece of the grill to match your car, as well as your sideview mirrors and door handles

why don't you just tell him to buy a new car?^^
he's goin for a JDM style theme i like the kit i just think it needs the sides and painted.. IMO your rides clean keep it that way

Vantage

Thats fine, we just have super totally different taste. I like red, I like subtle lip kits, not big ugly things, I like black 16" wheels. haha. I just bought this car i dont think a new car will come for someeeee time.

booba5185

i agree but i would definately paint that lip kit, drop it, a cf hood, and tinting

Vantage

it is dropped, but only on H&R sports, i dont want to much more of a drop, cause i use it for commuting to school for about 3 hours a day. This is why i sold my old CRX, a race built engine + H&R race + loud canister exhaust = 1 bad headache, and a baaad commute.

if you have carbon lip! and your going for the "JDM" look, get a new CF hood or some skirts. the mirrors NEED to be painted. its one thing to have the "look" but at least make it look clean and not a bad two tone

Sexy is definitely the word everyone is going JDM now

booba5185

oh, doesn't really look that low, must be because the rims are black or something

Vantage

h&r sports only drop 1.3". probably after school's out ill do a swap, or add a turbo, and make it lower. But for the next 2 years while i commute im only doing body/suspension/brakes.

well i have been looking at doing almost the same thing i have a Fiji Blue Civic Sedan and Looking to, Lip Kits Black, Goldish or Gunmetal with Polished Lip, Sidemarkers Eyelids and stuff let me know what you think

Vantage

i dunno about the blue with black, i think it would look to much like u are trying to match, but it doesnt, whereas my red is total contrast. ask around, see if someone has pics with ur idea, u never know it could look super sexy. I think bronze on blue look the best.

RobbyB

i say rip off the rear lip n keep the front one it would look better IMO

centurioncivic

id say if you really want to be as jdm as possible, start with jdm parts. youve got the wheels, but say for instance the lip kit. if you want a jdm lip kit get the rs because thats what comes on our civics in japan(ferios) i know that they are 4 doors but the front lip and sides fit perfect and the rear needs only little modding. buying the mugen style or type r style lips kits for our cars is rice to me considering the new ctr is a hatch and totally different from our cars, therfor buying one of the older style knock off lip kits is like "posing". JDM is like the word love, it gets thrown around way to much when its not true.haha.

no matter where i look i can never find JDM Stuff for the sedan

02civic_rida

iTrader: (28)

part of that is understandable ther other not so understandable.... if u are going for JDM parts, yes i understand then buy jdm parts.... however as for people buying mugen and type r style..... how in the world is that rice.... what if people like the style of that lip.... what if that lip was never made before and someone came out with it and poeple like it, that goes for other parts as well. kinda like my rims.... the day i saw those online i wanted them wether they were velox or VOlks , if they were volks i would have found the money to buy them but i like my rims,
but i dont know, thats just my train of thought.....

Seems like everyone is on the JDM BANDWAGON. I still love kits.

Vantage

I have never been into kits, I think they look gay and gawdy, mind u i have seen a few that are decent, buddy clubs can be nice same with SOME mugen stuff, i still love the subtlety of a nice lip setup, no huge fins, no big spoilers or lame Cow pushers like on trains.

iTrader: (4)

I just started to appreciate the whole JDM thing probably like 6 months ago. Seems like anyone who has a honda is like well I am JDM. I know there are people who are genuinely into it but I think alot of people are doing it cause they see everyone else doing it.

I agree with the concensus, get the matching side skirts! Nice ride btw.
