*Updated pics of the new ride*
Been a while now since i've been back on 7thgen. When i sold the vic and bought this car, there were mixed opinions. Well, mostly negative. Anyways, for those that actually liked that car, i figured i'd let everyone see how its coming along. So far i've only had it a month and she's still got a ways to go.
I know lots of peeps including me are missing my EBP 02 ex (5speed) boosted civic:
....but, believe it or not.........i'm liking my new car better!
05 RS 2.0 xB (#395 of 2500). So far the mod list includes:
-Shaved emblems
-Cleared headlights
-18x7.5" Arceio Suzuki-Stars wrapped in 215/35-18 Nankang NS-II's
-Tanabe DF210 Lowering springs (2.2"F and 2.0"R)
-TRD Strut Suspension
(*These pictures are about a week old!*)
Since it's a new car to me, i wasn't familiar with the xB's rear suspension setup, so when i dropped the rear springs out when installing the tanabe's my hand was in the wrong spot at the wrong time!
I shed much more blood putting the front strut springs in. Damn TRD struts...
This week i'll be putting in a hidden dual sub system

Rep Power: 302 I am still not a fan. The box is just not sexy to me. I mean I like what you personally have done to it. Just the car in general does not appeal to me. You did manage to make it a tad less ugly IMO.

But I have to admit that even the civic took some getting used to as far as the lines go, and now I love it.

it's not bad for a shrunken chevy astro, it's by far the nicest one i've seen so far. but there's no way i'd give up my civic let alone a boosted one for it. and as far as tinting the head and tails, you can DIY with some tint paint but i dont know how that stuff turns out. i'd take it to a tint shop and ask them.
