What up guys i'm only 16 years old and i have a passion for cars. I grew up always around mechanics so i've learned my fair share on working on cars. Everything that has been done to my civic has been done by me. It's a 01 Civic Coupe LX. So far i have:

Exterior: 17'' Low pro Fusion rims
LED spoiler
LED tails (NO they are not Altezzas)
Black headlights
20% Tint all around
Type R front grill with sedan radiator cover
shaved trunk except H emblem

I.C.E.: Sony Deck
2 12'' Pioneer Subs
Rockford Fosgate Amp
LED footwell lighting

Engine: Just an AEM v2 intake

Future: Black paint tail lights NOT cheap tint (next weekend)
Maybe 2'' drop all around (it's already hard to get up my driveway)
Lip Kit
Black gas tank lid
build a custom box so i can also fit my new JL Audio 12w7

Welcome to the site!Car looks real nice.Not too sure if I like your tail lights though.Your Civic looks alright without a drop actually,but a drop would make it better.lol

Yah i really need to smoke paint my tails. They are VERY bright at night it could blind you. Constructive criticism is very welcome

phewww, nice ride
And yeah, not diggin those tail lights, get some 05 tail lights

Cant wait to see that W7 bumpin in the civic

dont think you should paint the gas door, but paint your mirrors, and handles to match the car

Yeah,just paint the mirrors and door handles to match the car.You may want some bigger tires.They look alright right now though.(I see your a Gators fan in your license plate lol)

lol. that dub-7's gonna shatter your rear window

just playin. But yea, not feelin the tails. If you paint the lip of the front grill, I think it'll look better. It'll still give you the black/silver contrast, but more of a subtle way. Definitely feelin' a drop, if you're worried about scraping getting into a driveway, go up it at a diagonal or go for a more subtle 1.5" drop

it also looks like you're running lower profile tires than you rightfully should be.. Just sayin.. If you get the proper size tire, it'll give you a comfier ride, better handling, and it'll mess with your speedometer less/indicate actual mileage more accurately.

*ahem* gas door already matches the car..

unless you're seeing something i'm not..

The OP said he was gonna paint the gas door black to match the door handles and mirrors.Kenny here said to not paint the gas door black and just paint the handles and mirrors to match the car color.

In the words of the "great" Dom Turetto

"I retract my previous statement"

reading pwns me.. just sayin. That's what I get for just skimming posts

i'm lookin for silver/black as the car colors. I think it will prob look good with a black lid.

01civiclx94

yah i already go up my driveway at an angle its close... if i go straight on my front bumper would be completely gone! And yes i am runnin the right tires tho
Oh and i'm also thinkin about swappin the rear bumper for a 04/05 coupe bumper. What do you guys think on how it would look or just get a rear lip

Here is my hand, slap your face into it :3

Hahahaha.Even without my glasses I still read the whole post.And I believe it's Toretto not Turetto.

I just know pronunciation. Lol.. my credibility on all things fast and furious just went down the drain

And I do believe I said I skimmed instead of properly read, and admitted "reading pwns me" lol

And I retracted that statement.

Back on topic now. If you wanna go with the black/silver look, by all means. IMO, it'd just look like you had to replace stuff and were too lazy to paint it.. silver/carbon fiber, on the other hand, is a different story, because carbon fiber would have the weave pattern.. Just my 2¢

You're car is really nice. I'm sure you're proud, especially at such a young age. I wouldn't drop it so much. Like riceboy said, i'd go with 1.5" or even just 1". Especially if you are already having problems pulling up and out of your driveway. The color scheme is up to you really. If you are digging black on silver, do it up. Make your ride the way you want it.

Just remember, someone's always gonna hate on what you do to you car. What you do to you car is ultimately your choice

Thanks guys. And yah I used to work at Sonic but not anymore they cut all my hours down So i'm really debating on whether or not i will CF my gas lid. How would i get it CF should i take it somewhere and get a quote? Also how do you think it would look with an 04/05 coupe bumper instead of a lip

I love the front end of that .. I'd love to do that to my 05

Nice car, but just love the black headlights!! In Montreal everything is illegal...

Get rid of the ricey tail lights. Looks alright otherwise. Don't drop it 2 inches, thats going to make the ride very uncomfortable and you will shatter some type of body work within a month guaranteed.

Other then that tell us, manual or automatic? how much did you pay and what mileage is on it?

01civiclx94

auto tranny for now...currently at 89K miles
