Lots of Pics of My Sedan! Before >>> After (56K Sorry for you!)

Ok, here I go.

For those who doesn't know me, I have sedan 04. It's SI Canadian or EX in US. It's ethernal blue perl. I think it's the best colour for the sedan. Here are some pics of the car when I got it.







A bit later I got a tint and carbon fiber tail lights



Then I got Brembo Rotors and new pads





Then I got projectors











Underbody LED Kit



Magnaflow Exhaust




I'm getting 5Zigen 5ZR this saturday and then I want to drop that ****!

Hope you like my sedan. Don't hate for pics quality, it DOES suck big time! My camera is **** up!

^ They dont make Drilled and Slotted rotors but they do make either a slotted or a drilled one..


Lower your car first before you get rims

You can't see it on the pic, but on the side of the rotor itself, there's a serial number and it says brembo.

Well I can tell one thing that my braking improved with these rotors. Since I live in Canada, I'm looking for 1.5" drop, not less or I will eat the asphalt.

Here are some more pics of my ride.

I finally got new wheels! So opinions are welcome on my new rims!









BTW, here's a better shot of my exhaust




Right now I have 225/40/18. Can I wrap my tires with 215/40/18? The rim is 18 X 7.5

Re: Lots of Pics of My Sedan! Before >>> After (56K Sorry for you!)

replace em with ukdm or w.e the other cool oem tailights are from overseas.. u can always lightly tint the oem ones and thatll look cool. nice rims i think..kinda big but for 18s they look smaller than i would imagine.. drop it soon and look into a lip kit.

u can, but ur ride will deteriorate compared to now, the lower width/profile ratio u have the rougher the ride, but i imagine that ur ride isnt that great right now anyway cuz of the 18's, so the answer is yes, u can, cuz i have 17 x 7.5's and i have 215/45/17, and many people go with 40 series as well, with no problem, i wouldnt go any smaller than 215s

Yup, Orange Julep! Montreal is a nice place to stay. Timberlake and Timberland was here yesterday at Center Bell. The concert was a blast, but their performance was terrible!

I don't know if I want to drop it this year coz I have to get ready for winter soon. I will buy winter tires for stock rims and will put stock wheels back on. Then is April, will put back my 5zigens and drop it.

Yes, those are 18'. Thanks for the compliments, my ride appreciates it!

The tires are 225/40/18, but when I went to speed shop to get hubcentric rings the guy said that 225 is not good for out cars. We should put 215 max. I dunno if he's BSing. Any one heard anything about that?

Yeah I bought it and got installed at the dealership. I think I paid $100 for it. It looks vey nice since the car is dark blue and if you look closer on the right side on te visor it says civic. The visor is not just black like other companies do, it's a bit transparent which makes a big difference on appearance.

Wow, what a nice car. I'm not into those tails either, but these ones actualy compliment your ride nicely. What do you use to wax/polish, your color is great.
