Rep Power: 240 New Civic on the block...Lowering Advice...(56k go away)
Hey guys,
i bought this car about 2 weeks ago, i was waiting till i had enough time to go outside and take some pics. it's a 2003 civic ex. I bought it from a mechanic, he had tinted the windows and installed an exhaust. first thing i did was install a CAI, then that pretty much took care of my performance needs so i hit it with the neons. there are a couple dents about the size of a nickle on the left side of the car, and some bug remains on the front bumper, other than that, the car is fine cosmetically in my opinion. but i'm here for your opinion, so tell me watcha think.
sorry for the bad picture quality. my digital camera's lense is pretty fudged up. color balance and lighting filters are no longer features of the camera.

Rep Power: 310 It's either my eyesight or the camera or even my monitor but I see that OEM-looking spoiler like... too tall! I think I need to rest before commenting any further...

Rep Power: 240 actually, SinaloaCivic pointed out that i should get a air bypass valve so the car doesn't hydro-lock. that's the most important thing i gotta get. after that, i'll see what i can do.
