looks awesome man, when are the rims coming?

guitarchan16 11-17-2006 06:24 PM

As soon as i get some more money. I'm pretty sure i'm going black with polished lip...any suggestions on that as well would be appreciated...thanks:rockon:

Civicman1988 11-17-2006 06:28 PM

looks nice man

EggRollBandit05 11-17-2006 06:29 PM

looks good. You can pull off almost any color wheels with a red car, I like white or gold/bronze

puidokas 11-17-2006 06:33 PM

Nice clean start

armieo 11-17-2006 06:38 PM

I'd go with gold/bronze.

BCCentaur3 11-17-2006 06:38 PM

Yeah good choice of rims man, I wished I can get a hold of them rims. When I get more money I'll get the ones your talking about. It would look good with silver.

SOAD 11-17-2006 07:25 PM

black with red lip is sick and very rare...what are you lowered on? you should also get rid of those mud guards

Str8UpCivic 11-17-2006 07:28 PM

i like. i like.

SOAD 11-17-2006 07:36 PM

BCCentaur3 11-17-2006 08:59 PM

Man those rims would look sick on his ride. Sh#t for that price I wont know man.

skoot 11-17-2006 09:20 PM

what kind of drop do you have?

loosha808 11-18-2006 02:08 AM

how did you do your front grille?

genexrocket 11-18-2006 02:22 AM

lemme guess, you're dropped on tein s-techs..

riiice-_- 11-18-2006 02:38 AM

i want the grille.
info please!!

ohsnapsjay08 11-18-2006 02:50 AM

grill is DIY.. just buy the mesh on kragens, then take out the whole front bumper, (take out the upper honeycomb mesh ) measure.. then cut the mesh on the measurement that you did... then you can either sand the mesh or just start spray painting them with black then finish it with clear coat.. tada~~~~

Dark_Pyro7 11-18-2006 04:28 AM

Very nice man, very clean. Is that limo tint all around? Looks pretty dark but could be picture. I have 15 in back and 30 on doors(coupe). Really want to go 15 all around or maybe 10. Cant see shit at night anyways, why not just go dark.

Very clean though, as i was scrolling i was waiting for a pic with some rims. Stock always looks good, but the righht set of rims can work wonders! Just make sure and have a little meat on the tires to thin looks horrible (in anysize).

awesome!
i've been wanting to do this for a while now
woooo

guitarchan16 11-18-2006 12:51 PM

OK...so I was really busy last night and didn't get to get on so i missed a lot of questions. But I'll try to do my best to answer them:

I'm actually just lowered on Progress springs with stock shocks for now...1.8" front and 2.0" back...Looks pretty good, only down side is if you wanted to get a body kit, it would probably be too low...but i'm wanting to go lip kitted anyway...

I just got my windows tinted, it's 5% all the way around. The guy who did it is a really cool guy and did the best tint job i've seen around here and it was only 160...i gave him a 20 dollar tip...

YES...i did the headlights myself...there's a couple of DIY's around, but i found a really good DIY on cardomain.com...

Same with the mesh grill, i found a DIY on cardomain.com and it took a while, but it was worth it in the end...it makes the whole car look different.

I love those black with the red lip, but man...over 2 g's...don't think i like them that much...

I also have the Greddy Evo II installed and the weapon-r Secret intake...and sitting in my house becuase it just came in, I have the Megan Racing header and racing testpipe...also i have the Vertical Doors from VDI that are sitting in my living room waiting to put on, maybe today if i can. The only reason i got those is because some guy had them for about 3 months and then decided to trade his car in and had to take them off, so i bought them for 400shipped...so i figured, eh...why not?

I hope i didn't miss anything...let me know if you have any more questions. And thanks for all the possitive feedback from you guys. :tup: :rockon:

estebomb_ftw 11-18-2006 01:02 PM

Looks good so far man. Like everyone else said, some nice rims would set it off.

VTEK2k2 11-18-2006 01:31 PM

white rims ftw

SilverCivic504 11-18-2006 04:15 PM

i like it with the original headlights. Thats my opinion. Doesnt seem like it flows

tuningmycivic 11-18-2006 04:31 PM

very nice man...i like the headlight job, but i'll stick with my black housing projectors. good start and yes, 2gs is a bit much for a set of wheels

CaTacL1sm 11-18-2006 05:20 PM

yea id do either white rims... or black rota slipstreams (yea i know they're common but you cant go wrong)

guitarchan16 11-19-2006 01:11 AM

Yeah, out of all the rims, i think black with machined lip look the best...but like a lot of you said, just about any color will go good with my red car. At first i didn't like red, but now it's starting to stick with me...and it will look really clean when i get my CF hood...and haven't decided about the CF trunk and maybe paint the roof black...any opinions?

guitarchan16 11-19-2006 09:36 PM

Hopefully I'll get the header and testpipe put on sometime this week and I'm going to try to put the Vertical Doors on maybe thursday or Friday...I'll post pics when i'm done...

SOAD 11-19-2006 09:52 PM

dont put the doors on, i think they are kinda stupid looking
