Ok, I have an 02 vic coupe slver and need mods now!

i want to do it right the first time so i come to yall with questions.

I want to modify the ext. first, and want to start off with the basics then go to details later.

My thoughts on doing first:
1) Buy 17's
2) Drop
3) then Body kit

or..... buy 17's and then buy body kit

or.....drop and buy body kit.

or.....buy 17's and then drop

i guess it all depends on how much i wanna spend, And i really dont want to spend much.

I wonder if my stock 14's would be ok...then just get a drop? i will post a pic of my car.

i say drop, rims, kit in that order.

depotcivic

would it be better to place 17's first before I drop? or the other way around?


or would it matter?

ajhdragon

I got 17's, then drop, and eventually I'll get a lip kit.

My car looked okay with the 17's and no drop, but when I put my stock wheels back on to paint my rims, my car looked retarded dropped without rims.

I wonder if I should trade my stock rims when I buy my new ones? or keep em'?

Discount tire wanted to give me $100 for them. <hell na>

depotcivic

Cptn. Slow

uhhh. he has 03 tails, 01-03 is the same thing, but tails are stupid to do first, you will never notice them. i say do drop, then rims then kit, but if you must rims then drop then kit. but do not put a kit on a car thats not dropped, or a car with no rims. cause then i will personally fly to texas and and rip the kit off myself lol

drop it first, and drop it right. get good springs/shocks or coilovers and a good camber kit FRONT and REAR. and an alignment. then wheels with GOOD tires. and finally, whatever kit you want.

Drop...then Rims...then Lip kit or Body kit

Are you planning to get a Lip kit or Body kit??....if u plan on a Lip kit I would stick wid 15,16, or 17" rims....but if plan on a Body kit I would go with 18" rims....looks better IMO....but anyways Goodluck modding....

i got a kit with rims, and NO drop....... nothing wrong with it at all just that everyone seems to insist everything needs a drop, which it doesnt

but you should go with a drop then wheels then kit if you must

For me, its Rims -> Drop -> Body Kit

(Put on rims after drop though)

keep the rims, get a drop and oem kit. if you get bigger rims, car becomes alot slower. keep those 14s. they look good too

When I first started, I bought 18" rims BEFORE getting a drop. DO NOT do that you will look like a retard driving a monstertruck-ed, lift-kitted Civic.

Drop, rims, body/lip kit. And do us a favor... either get normal tails or coat those black.

According to everyone on here I did mine backwards: Rims -> Bodykit -> Drop. O'well.

But I am happy I did it that way. Yeah I looked like a monster truck for a while but I learned how to drive with a low body kit (not a lip kit if you go that route) and get use to the roads conditions. Then I lowered mine lower and lower gradually with different springs and shocks.

Now I am happy to say I have had this fiberglass body kit with minimal scrapatge for over 4 years now.

yea drop first at least. then rims or body kit. but the drop is basically needed to not look like its raised lol.
