2003 Honda Civic EX Coupe - Taffeta White
Dad worked in Honda for a while, bought car in 2002 brand new with 6 miles on it.
Got my car in 2008 (Sr. year of HS) with 39k on the clock.
Still bone stock

Dont have a picture of car in original, but here it is after i clay/wash/wax it

Since I got it, I installed a Sony deck, bought my JL sub that came with an Xplod amp.

Pretty much it for major changes, I replaced a lock actuator, and my brakes, but that's about all the changes i've really done to my car

Subbed!

Nothing else to say except what you already know about what I think of your car :)

Thinkin about upgrading to a proper AEM v2 CAI

I dont ever see enough rain over here for it to be a problem.
The new header's causing a lot of heat under the hood without a shield

But next thing on my list is currently replacing those Hawk pads, and getting new rotors.
The grinding is unbearable.

Even with my 4x4 status, the other day, i scraped my oil pan.
And driving on terrible roads, I really am not looking forward to dropping it.

It's probably one of the things further down the list

I scrape daily, just turn of the music when you go over speed bumps.
