Re: My EM2 - EX SE Build

I am sad to say that I have to raise mine up about 3/4 of an inch... baby on the way.... when I was so low I could ride stiff.... but since I need a softer ride the travel on the struts increased and so I dont crack my axles or damage the tranny I have to raise it up.... still looks good just not slammed anymore....

Sorry for the late reply!
I went with the 99-00 Type-R lip and Ebay side skirts.
The front lip is painted but I haven't done the skirts yet.

Re: My EM2 - EX SE Build

aye, but not a lot.
Still waiting for my lips to get painted, then I will pretty much be done with exterior mods.

Re: My EM2 - EX SE Build

I didn't realize how small these things actually are...
And I will have to make my own mounting brackets apparently.

Anyway, these will be going in with projectors this January.

In the top left corner of the page, click on "Civic Forums" (the smaller text below the main image)

Next, click on the section for what generation of Civic you own. Ej1 is a 5th gen, so go to the 1st-5th section. https://www.civicforums.com/forums/184-1st-5th-gen

Below the first box of threads is a blue "New Thread" button. Click that to start making your new thread. I suggest naming your thread according to your car.

To add images, click the attachment (paperclip) button, or the add image button on your thread toolbar.

Re: My EM2 - EX SE Build

Finally got some pics with the new Type R lip and ebay skirts!
Now shes lookin' pretty!

Good day for photography... nice overcast skies, clean car, cool weather. Aside from being attacked by mobs of middle schoolers every 5 minutes, it was a decent shoot.

Yup I totally agree. I am loving the look of the car, just not my taste of wheels.

Re: My EM2 - EX SE Build

Is there anyone out there who actually likes my wheels? I think they're pretty damn unique. The contrast is awesome when the lighting is just right.

To be honest, I don't like the wheels as much as I did at first. I bought them before I even joined the forums and had a slightly different taste in cars. And yes Kenny, I was inspired by the Kia Forte Koup wheels, lol

I'll get something more tasty next time I need some tires. I'm trying to find a decent 5-spoke design in white, but i'm having trouble finding the right ones. Blue w/tan interior is such a hard color to work with


@rjones7755 - It was $375 plus a free t-shirt
