Looks slick dude. just watch the polished lip on those toxxins, make sure ya keep em really well polished
i had a set of them and i thought i polished them enough but the lip started chipping. Konig is good about that stuff though. take it back to the dealer where you got them and they will swap them for any other wheels made by konig, at around the same price. just thought i would warn you.
i swapped mine for the Blatants. i will post some pics asap

Rep Power: 0 OH MY DAYAM!!! Ur ride is by far not the BEST, but prob one of my top 5 Favorites b/c of the style. Its unique yo, and dats wut I digg!!! Red w/ black lip/fenders dayam!!! Lookin sick bro. The only 2 things I can pick out is the Super Street radioactive sticker on the front bumper (scratch that) and ur rims, would look better in a dark Gunmetal color!!! wow, very nice setup...dont change it!! keep up da good work!!!

Rep Power: 0 I kinda agree about the gunmetal rims, they will enhance the effect of the black kit. The Superstreet logo does look kinda out of place . . . I'm not going to say anything about the wing; kinda like it actually. Only other thing I can think of is perhaps some black TYC or angeleye projectors? That would set it off nicely.

Rep Power: 0 I'm really diggin the black on red theme but the white banner and superstreet sign basicly ruin all of that. You really gotta lose the white. I like the rims but your car would suit some black rota slipstreams or something gunmetal a lot nicer. Nice ride

Rep Power: 0 NeXCIVICEX, I agree with ya on lookin out for chipping on Konig rims, the paint starts to after a while also. I do plan on gettin new rims, but they will stay white. SVongkasem, I do plan on taking the SS decal off. I shaved it with paint shop last night and i liked it better off too. Machina, I looked into red banners, but If i keep with the white wheels I want to keep the white banners also. If I went with gun metal rims, i'd put red/ black banners on it though. Vizyun, I do wanna get some projectors too when i get the money. (paying $1200 for more tools right now). Thanks for the compliments. peace~

Rep Power: 0 MEX, I used a Rotozip with a metal grinding pad on it and just took my time. I grinded to the edge of the spot welds on just the upper wheel well arch. Takes a while, but my tires were rubbin so i had to do it either way. Just be sure to wear some safety goggles etc. and remember that it only takes 1 sec to make an error, so just be patient.

I am gonna agree about the wing. U are not gonna get the car fast enought for such a big wing to be affective. Plus it will cause to much down force in the low end, and u will see that if you take it off, or put on a smaller wing that your times will lower. Get either the wings west wing or the OEM spoiler. Those would be the best for a civic unless it was a pure drag car and u had it doing 9's and 10's in the quarter mile.

Rep Power: 0 I am not feeling the Alum. wing on our cars at all. I have seen it done on a few cars around here and just think it looks out of place. I like the red and black scheme...check out Pedrito's. Remove the SS sticker and its all gravy

Rep Power: 0 Amys2K2Civic, I updated and put some interior pics in there for ya. Thanks to you, quicksilver, rowdyb7 for the compliments.
btw, Master, do you really think putting on a smaller wing will lower my times? And, do you really think the mini-me wing / or stock wing really add that much downforce? just curious.

I hate that damned airplane wing. But otherwise it looks great. I'm with Vizyun....rims could use a different color. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 lol SpdRcrChk, couldn't really find other wings that i liked- i actually thought the wing was going to be shorter when i ordered it, because i had'nt seen it up close or on any other cars-it's all good though.

Rep Power: 0 I think that adding a smaller wing will reduce the downforce. I never said it would at to it. The aluminum one has alot more downforce than those two would. Plus your car is most likely not fast enough for the downforce to need to keep your back end down. Also u don't have a rear wheel drive so u don't really need all that much downforce. Check out the newest Super Street it tells you all about downforce and wings and that stuff in one of the articles on aerodynamics.

Rep Power: 0 hey, master, i just threw out some bs--taking off the wing doesn't reduce my times what so ever- it does add downforce on the road, but i don't really give a crap. If i wanted my times to be better, I'd take my amps, sub, box, and spare outta my trunk. The car's not gonna be fast anytime soon. I'm glad to see that Super Street is teachin the newbies a few things.
