I bought a civic to be a stock gas saver and now look what happend
Started Life as a brand new 2009 Civic LX off the lot bone stock and left it that way for awhile. Only minor mods of tint and drop in hid headlights were added shortly after.



Then I figure a Oem HFP kit plus asia front lip and swift springs I would be happy with no plans on changing the wheels.

Retrofit headlights and LED taillights came after.





coilovers, wheels, brake kit, flares etc.




lowered it some more as it sits today


Next to a stock one for fun
No engine mods at all nor do i plan on any. straight "sensible" work car lol

I expected to come into this thread and be disappointed.

Quite the opposite. Car looks awesome!!!!!!

I would ask if you have any other plans, but damn the car needs nothing. Keep up the great work.

Very clean! You did a good job at enhancing the style rather than making it look over modified!

I plan to redo my retrofit headlights to s2ks. Currently have mini h1's. Also add foglights and do a retro with fusion fogs. I have the parts but haven't got around to collecting everything needed to do this yet.

Also plan on putting on Hybrid blinking mirrors.

Other then that sound deading the inside is really all I have left to go along with my stereo.

Civic made straight for driving the speed limit. LOL

Re: I bought a civic to be a stock gas saver and now look what happend
I have always loved the look of those white autos.
I have heard that the knock on the white/silver autos is that it is extremely difficult to paint match them,with the rest of the body panels after an accident.
Your ride looks sweet.............mattandchris

Despite me being on this forum overall I'm not really a civic enthusiast. My forte are Nissan 240sx's. What I had prior to this.

Re: I bought a civic to be a stock gas saver and now look what happend
THAT looks amazing.
The 8th Gen Sedan is a good looking car, especially when built properly.

I suggest for even more flavor, you paint the grill insert white or charcoal grey to match the wheels.

Otherwise, great looking Civic!
