Honda Civic 2001 EX Automatic
Long story short I hated this car because I cosigned this car for my sister and she could no longer take care of it financially. I thought about selling it but it wasn't worth it because of the loan that was left over. I decided to keep it and invested over 500 bucks to get it professionally cleaned (had major dog odor and hair), angel eyes and fog lights installed, and I bought led interior lights and floor mats. I started liking this car the more I made changes both inside and outside. I hope to get either 16' or 17' black rims and lower it in the near future. I just want to make this car look nice. The front body has minor paint chips and rust marks....I hope to fix that. Please let me know if there are some mods I can do to make it look nice. It's a EX Auto so I just want to make it look nice and it's a work car.

Re: Honda Civic 2001 EX Automatic
It's the same exact civic I have.
I used to hate mines as well, but after I've worked on it, and learned to deal with it, it's a great car.
A lot of people desire the white coupes, especially in that kind of condition. So as long as you fix it up nice, you'll learn to love it.
Take a look at mine if you want some inspiration.

Black rims looks really tacky on white cars, but do whatever your heart desires!

I didn't know people desire the white coupes. I rarely see someone with the same color. I see many in silver, blue, and black. I thought the black rims would look tacky but it actually looks really great in person. I've gotten many compliments. I realized it looks tacky on photos. Your Civic is nice too. Is it manual or automatic? What is that thing sticking out of the back of your car (not the muffler). How does your car sound with the muffler you bought?

Re: Honda Civic 2001 EX Automatic
first order of business - read about retrofit projectors in somewhere here. the aftermarket angel eyes usually suck at light output, so it could end up in a dangerous situation.

It's very hard to find a white, not that many were sold. The white sedans are more common, but usually really beat up.
My car's an auto.
The thing that's sticking out is a tow hook. Purely aesthetics. Though, it does provide a function that it's a rear bumper protection from idiots.
Muffler sounds great, silent. Perfect for those who have cops that don't really like tuners.

The black headlights look tackier than the black rims in my opinion. Otherwise, it looks clean for an 11 year old white coupe.

To me, I see it like this...
White on Silver
White on Black
White on Gunmetal or Bronze
White on White
So you've made an improvement, haha
Car looks nice! Glad to see someone has the same tires as me!
any plans on lowering it?
