Just got into the car game with the Vic
Just got into the car game with the civic, Used to have a 1999 toyota tacoma that I bought stock and redid completely, now I'm just trying to make my civic look good.
It doesnt have much done to it now, I'll upload some pics. The only pics I have are a couple of weeks old, BUT, I have a set of 17x7.5 Focal X's with tires that will get here today from tirerack so I will take more pics later, also I have had my windows tinted 35 on doors and 20 on the rest, so tinted windows arent in the pics either. Enjoy

Nicest colour, nicest wheels, nicest year, nicest fog lights. Off to a pretty good start if you ask me. Lower it, fix those tails (can't tell if they're tinted oem or aftermarket), tint the windows and call it a day.

I know your pain, my civic is very similar to yours, even more so when I get my fog lights and 17" rims installed. I'm not ready to spend another $400 or so to drop it. I'm also clueless and afraid I'll break something if I did it myself. On top of all that, I still have parents nagging over my shoulder about how low my (stock ride height) car is... I also might have to fabricate a new mid-pipe because the one on my catback hangs too low.

Looks nice, man! 
I will be getting my rims and lowering my car in about a month or two t o look awesome like yours
And most lips are pretty cheap, but they all do the same job so it doesn't matter which one you get.

haha, we all have dream cars we wish to go crazy and mod everything on. I really want a Saab 9-2x with a full Subaru STi engine and drive train swap but that would cost a fortune and take a lot of knowledge to build correctly...
And I hate Dodge Neons in general, but SRT-4s are actually quite frightening little things...

Looks killer! I can't wait to get some new shoes on my car and drop it
Were those fog lights installed when you bought the car? I have an OEM set that is painfully confusing to install... Do you have any idea how yours is wired up?
Heck yeah... SAABaru! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvAtxUbvyU0

Lol, no, i bought the car december 2011 BONE STOCK from used car dealer, an older woman owned it.. haha, so ive done everything to it, and i just ordered the ones off of ebay, put them in, ran the wiring up towards the battery, connected the yellow trip wire to my parking lights and the relay to the battery and grounded it off with the black wired. TONS MORE SIMPLE than doing it the long way lol, so whenever i lock or unlock my car my foglights blink, and NO they dont blink with my turning signals haha

Make sure you have a fuse on the wire going to the battery. Dont want an electrical fire ruining the car.

Sweet that sounds much easier than tearing apart the whole thing for some silly fog lights...
I'm having my Wyotech graduate neighbor install them so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Thanks for the tip!

Dude, nice! What lip is that? When I lower my car I will be wanting one so I don't scratch up the stock bumper.
(You posted a link before, but the sale is ended so I can't see it, lol)

I don't like black wheels with that color. A set of silver or bronze wheels compliment the car better. Not digging the tinted tails either.
