Looking good man, hard to ignore the dirt though :P ... a little soap and water and you are good to go! Where did you get the tip from? Easy to install one self?

its just a bolt on tip, all you do is stick it over the stock tip and tighten it on with a rachet, i dunno what kind it is haven't checked in a while. There very easy to find just go to a performance shop and they will have all kinds of bolt on tips. Thanks for the comment =) keeep em comin

i'm guessing it's illegal to tint the driver side window in NS? the tint differential is crazy!

Too much Tint difference which seems odd!!! The rims are awful and should consider fog lights and LED taillights to improve the overall appearance!!! ++++ DROP

the rims are not good. replace them with 18 inchers.

I agree. It screams "Civic", and not the good kind.

... Is there a good kind of Civic?

idk why, but i kind of like the celica rims on there? they don't look out of place (like some of the wheels on here that shouldn't be anywhere near a corolla). have to sort of agree on the vvti though. i have the same car and for some reason i've never been jazzed enough about it to advertise the engine components. pretty sure mine's dirtier than yours

You're Preference...

Slight drop maybe, Rims look good to me, and Fogs could be hit or miss...
Now LED Tails are too trendy. More and more people are doing it... Kinda like the Altezza Euro Lights back about 5-10 yrs ago. Every "Tuner" had them.

Yeah there is a good kind of Civic... SI... SIR... CRX SI... nuff said. Those are sick cars no matter what you drive. Just like is there any good kind of Corolla? or Mazda3? or VW Golf? or Dodge Neon/Caliber?

The top model for each of those is the good kind. XRS, GT (or Speed3), GTI, SRT-4.. and SI/SIR

To OP:
Keep doing what you like, cause thats all that matters. There are a lot of critics on here who will trash anything you do unless it is what is "IN Style" right now or Do what they want.I like the looks of your ride. Just reduce the Wheel Gap a bit and you're smooth sailing. I know you guys get a lot of snow so SLAMMING the 'rolla isn't ideal. Do a modest drop with TRD's or Eibach Pro-Lines. I like the VVT-I decal. On here though you won't get much love cause most people are all about De-Badging rather than Badging. I've learned not to post too many pics cause all people will do is shred you're car apart.

Tinting looks good. Wheels are a bit funny looking so a change might be good.

Jublien · 05-08-2009, 03:03 PM

Yes its elligal to tint the fronts, yes i plan on dropping it, and i got those rims with tires for 200 bucks so i think it looks pretty good for the price =P. I have a limited budget and thats what i could afford to do. I appreciate everyones comments and thanks for the positive comments sinnaever. I'm 20 and this is my first new car and again i have very limited funds, i think it looks pretty awsome so far for my budget! More comments are welcome!
