Almost finished, though I would get some input from you guys. Still need to do a big exhaust tip (maybe 2), might make the trunk carbon fiber too, and I'm thinking of painting the body kit stuff primer color. But what do you think so far?

Here's the other side, and from a little lower angle. Oh, yeah, going to try to do an underbody neon-look, too. Probably green, maybe red, not sure yet. Thoughts?

Add some wacky graphics, and a "Powered by Honda" sticker. Better yet, a "powered by-take a wild guess" sticker.

If I could find some Uncle Ben's Racing stickers, or Rica-A-Roni Racing Team stickers, I would be very happy! But I like the Powered by Honda idea, maybe I'll try to make a widshield banner that covers 1/3 of the windshield:D

how did you get your car that low
when i tried to lower my civic i screwed it up and ended up throwing it out

make little studs on the wing to raise it up like 3 inches more. then you got the ricer look. you can also put some american products company decal on the back window, they got something to suit all of your ricer needs. oh yeah, see if you can find a little mexican figure to go with it...... ( thats so mean but i had to add that):p

You could also add a big "H" logo:) Or-my favorite-clear taillights!

Note: i'm building a sleeper out of my real civic, just cause it's not American dosn't mean it has to be rice- ever seen a rally?

I just dremeled out new notches, the front one at the top of the black area, and the rear one at the top of the plate area. Then i had to thin the body material around the rear wheels because the touched, but that was pretty easy to do.

Yes, I've been thinking about doing the clear Altezza-style lights, and the big H emblem on the hood is perfect! And have I ever sen a rally? This is me in my car:D :

if your civic is under a 1993, then it most likely is a ricer

shanly 02-02-2003 08:44 PM

nice subie, you plan on doing anything?

sweet Sube!

Thank you, thank you!:D That car is my baby. As for what I'm going to do and what I've already done, it's got a cold air intake, K&N filter, exhaust, thicker rear sway bar, front strut tower bar, and short-shifter. I would like to also get a rear strut tower bar, solid sway bar endlinks, and some adjustable coil-overs (so I can get the extra clearance when I'm off-road). Externally, all I've done is get clear lenses to replace the orange ones. But not those Altezza-style lights, I hate those. And I put orange bulbs under the clear lenes, not blue or red. And I've been thinking about doing the tint, and going to get some good tires pretty soon. Not sure what I'm going to do with the wheels, I kind of like the stocks alloys, they're light. And I don't think I'm going to go any bigger, I need the extra sidewall the 16" gives me for when I'm on logging roads. Anyways, I guess I've said enough now.:D

My civic is a '95(just like my zip!). the only visible mod so far is the apex'i exhaust, which is NOT a glasspack, and seems to complement my car. I'd like to do an engine swap, if only i had the money, and get a Jackson Racing positive-displacement supercharger. Then my car would be pretty much done, save suspension upgrades.
