So, this seems to be the big thing now... I'd like to put my car in the garage too! It's been a longgggg time.
So, in 2006.. I got rid of my 1990 Corolla and picked up the new 2006 Civic. Took 30 days to take delivery and here are pics the day I took it home.. completely stock with hub caps and all.
At the time, I was indeed a ricer. I had a Momo knob and a momo shift boot.. It didn't match and I can't remember why I even got it. I got rid of it eventually
Not too long after, I ordered an Injen intake from speedtech to get the engine purring a little louder
Quickly after that I purchase the OEM HFP Factory front lip to make it a little more aggressive..
Well.. the car isn't complete unless it's rounded off with a full kit.. so I got the rear lip and some mugen-replica sideskirts. They are replica because they are made only for the sedans and I had to get them fitted for the coupe.
After that.. I needed to get lose the hubcaps cause it was totally hurtin' the image. I ordered some Function/Form Type II coilovers. My wheels would be 17x7 +45 with 215/45/17 Kumho Ecsta SPT's. I knew little to nothing about width, offset or tire sizes.. thus the sunken (very sunken) look.
I also tinted the reverse parts with VHT nightshades to help darken the look of the car.
After this.. I started running out of ideas.. but I still craved for more. I decided to go into I.C.E. for a little boom and get a 10" JL10W1 with a JL e-2150 2-channel amplifier with a custom box made by wrxer1.
Not too long after that.. I started to get out of my ricer mindset and get rid of all the things that I thought didn't really compliment the car.. soo, I got rid of the MOMO knob and boot and replaced it with the TWM M1 Abrams shift knob and a JDM FD2-R shift boot. I thought while I was at it, I'd get a short shifter adapter as well. I got rid of the ricey blue bulbs and replaced them with Nokyo 3000k DRL's.
After I got all the little details out of the way, I went back into business. I went to speedtech and from then until now, I have been spending all my money there... haha
So I got a VIS CF trunk and my girlfriend was oh-so kind enough to get me the Greddy Ti-C full catback system for my birthday. Those both went on.
