right before i left the dealer
Thread 2.jpg
as soon as i got home. everyone kept saying i bought a "space shuttle" and saying my plans for this car would be a waste...
Thread 3.jpg
Its manual trans. and i got it before the dealer put tint and other things. so it saved me some money. lol.
First thing i wanted to do was put wheels on it. Mugen.JPG
found a guy on a Facebook group called "SoCal Rims" who was selling real Mugen GP's. :brock:

he needed the money because he lost his job so i lucked out and got them cheap. curb rash on 3 of them but I'm getting them fixed soon. also the insides were plasti dipped so i just needed to clean them up

you can see the curb rash and the ugly plasti dip inside. of course i didn't care...well because they're Mugens. haha.

don't mind the dirtiness. lol. but this was how it looked with all 4 mounted. Definitely needed to be lowered. lowered.jpg
so i went to a local shop and bought some Eibach Sportline lowering springs. Gave it a 1.8" drop. plates.jpg
decided to buy some civic plates because.. well... why not. hahatint.jpg
next up. was getting the tint done. reached my 10 pic limit.

You need to get that curb rash repaired. It's ugly and it makes it look like you feel your way when parking against a curb:rotfl:
Nice wheels though. Looking good!
 
Very nice! Lot of changes in a short time. Car looks like its coming along nicely. Great score on getting a manual also.

Has your car been lowered already? On what? And camber arms?

yes my car has been lowered on Eibach sportline springs. 1.8' drop. Working on getting camber arms too actually
 
I can't wait to see the rest of this finished. That lip is a nice addition.
