drop>rims>kit

will look really good when its all done.

02blackcivic 08-24-2005 01:43 PM

yea, well its a work in progress, and teh body kit was a steal, ok, i dotn know if u recall my posts from lik a month ago, but i foudn this body kit on ebay already painted for $300
so yea, and the tails were teh only thing done to my car when i got it, so i dont care, im liking em less n less every day, but w/e, ther fine for now, its goin to end up a show car, so there fine, and i ordered enkei evo 5 rims in bronze, and i cant drop it cuz as you can see in the second pic, my side skirts are that low to the ground already, if i drop it i wont b able to park in my driveway, so rims with beefier tires should cover the gap enough until i move out, or jsu decied to drop it and leave it at the bottom of the driveway, and yea

cliffnotes: found body kit already painted on ebay for $300, put it on, rims are on their way, dont know about drop, lol

Huh? 08-24-2005 01:44 PM

Looks good so far. Like everyone else said, get yourself some wheels and it will look real nice. Also, you really need a grille. :giggle:

02blackcivic 08-24-2005 01:49 PM

ok, yea i kno, rims are on theway, enkei evo 5's wiht kumho 711 rubber, and lik i said, my altezza grill i had with my stock bumper DOESNT fit the xenon body kit, so im workin on trying to get it to fit, or jsut go out and buy new mesh and make a grill for the front and re-do the bottom ones to match, and put mesh in the rear bumper between the exhaust cutouts

Huh? 08-24-2005 01:56 PM

Huh? 08-24-2005 02:02 PM

That's too bad. I hate my stock grille and I want to change it too. I like the style of the SPW one, but I don't like how it has the RS emblem. Oh well. :(

Nice, keep us updated when you wheels come, I'm sure it's gonna look nice :)

ciVictoria 08-24-2005 08:17 PM

Looks okay just need rims.

thw_goalie 08-24-2005 10:43 PM

Looks great so far...now get some rims on there quick! :p

drew22mader 08-24-2005 11:06 PM

looks good, get rid of the tails, get ya some 04's i seen some on ebay. And i would paint the mesh on that grille black. Black out your headlights and that Sh*t will be tight IMO. But its your car and do what you want. Your doing a fine job.

02blackcivic 08-24-2005 11:39 PM

yea,, well update, i am trying to fit my altezza grill on but its not looking like its gonna happen, so im sellin that to my friend adn getting all new grills in the front and a small one for my rear body kit, its going to be black, and somehow make a grill for the front upper, still trying to figure that one out, um, got primer and red and black paint today after work, blacking my headlight housing and painting the a/c trim, radio trim, adn gauge trim red, adn possibly other small things and my valve cover red, adn lettering on my spark plug cover red, possbily the battery tie down and fuse box too, adn the rims im ordering soon, really soon, as soon as i get my keys back, parents took the car away cuz i went to a party and told them i was going to work instead and they found out somehow, so gettin the keys back sunday and will order the rims next week sometime, adn this girl i kno got an 05' civic coupe, so im gonna try to convince her to swap taillights with me cuz she wants to fix up her car so shes gonna start with taillgihts and i wanna get the 04-05 ones, and tint them a lil, and does anybody know if you have to re-do the wiring, or does it jus hook right up lik my tails do now?
thanks

http://img320.imageshack.us/img320/3...ghts0345gs.jpg

drew22mader 08-26-2005 02:54 PM

Very nice man, looks ALOT better. Now paint that mesh while your blacking stuff out. Would look sweet like that.

02blackcivic 08-26-2005 10:58 PM

yea, thast the next thing, paint the silver mesh black, adn i figured out how to get teh sideskirts on better and to not sag in the middle, so im gonna do that tommoorw, will post updates when i get my rims

02blackcivic 08-26-2005 10:59 PM

oh yea, and im gonna get a red turn signal instead of a yellow, cuz my interior accents and engine parts are red, got the contrast thing going on

02blackcivic 08-27-2005 11:29 AM

anybody else hav any suggestions??

02hfpcivicsi 08-27-2005 11:45 AM

the headlights and black grille look good

my05civic24 08-27-2005 12:05 PM

[QUOTE=blouisgod]drop>rims>kit




More like Rims>Kit>Drop

Cuz if you drop it then put a kit on, it might scrape, so then you would be screwed. So drop it after you get your rims and body kit.

02blackcivic 08-28-2005 12:32 AM

ok, yea, rims are coming soon, very soon, will post when come, adn lowering, il puit my side skirts back on, i got brackets to put them on now so they wont sag, and youll see how low each side is to the ground on my driveway, its lik a cm from the ground, so il hav to park someway on a slant or something, so im not quite sure if im gonna drop it, maybe, maybe not

Teh_Sare 08-29-2005 02:36 AM

dude!! our cars are gonna match!
my black sedan's interior is painted red, and im gonna have the Xenon kit and rims for spring[im poor currently-donations accepted :giggle: jk]
oh and my headlights are blacked out[but slightly diff from yours]
