Rep Power: 280 i think once you get a camber kit (soon i hope), you should raise the rear up more. if you dont you might get rubbing issues from your rear fender lip. the exact thing happened to me in hard cornering and eventually took off the paint to bare metal. just a thought.

Please get rid of the mud flaps...
new rims would be nice!
But I do like a little camber on civics...
Although that is a-lot of camber!

Rep Power: 0 lol thanks guys, im going to get rid of the mudflaps as soon as i purchase the rest of my kit, which should be within the next month or so. i get paid tomarro so i should be buying a camber kit, and i still dont really know what i want to do concerning rims. i found a member of a local forum selling some gold 18's with a 2 inch polished lip. i want to pick tyhose up.
as for my plate, i removed it when i cleaned my car today, i just hang it there cuz cops around here are dicks about the front plate, and i cant find my mounting bracket.
thanks for the compliments guys

Also, you'll really need to raise your back end up to not scrape... I'm on 18's with 1.75 more inches of space left to lower on my rear with TEIN SS's (It's lowered approx. 2.75"). I had it much lower, but no car should scrape very often at all... let alone EVERY speedbump. And as you can see from my pics, I have a 1 finger gap in the back (tucking front)... so it's not too high either. I've neever been a fan of the ***-dragging honda style.

Looks great man.. But you are dropped as much as you are, you might want to stay away from those 18's, i have 17's one a 2" drop and im tucking good now.. And on hard cornering you can definitly catch the body..

Rep Power: 0 yes the eyelids are for the 01-03 but i personally dont think it looks bad at all.. it is a little short but im not at all picky when it comes to something like that, although 04 lids would be nice..
im thinking about picking up 16s or 17 now, but i still want to finish my hfp kit.. lol. so its gunna wait.
*the plate doesnt stay there, its temporary since i dont usually sport a plate.

Rep Power: 0 no its not you, i have all nokya hyper yellow bulbs in my headlights.. hence the yellow reflections. i have not gotten pulled over for them, but i have however been pulled over for my tints.. and the cops havent said anything about them (yelow lights). i dont know about the legallity of them though... check your local laws.
