Looks good. I would rock those rims on a black paint job though. There was a JDM (converted) Integra in Super Street about a month or 2 ago that had red powder coated rims on it with a polished lip, and the car was like a navy blue color and it looked strait up badass!!!! Looks clean, keep up the good work! :flash:

damn man, that really looks tight ... and the CRV emblem on the hood is a nice touch, I like it.

Looks like you finally figured out how to resize your pics :cool:

mmm hmm , very sexy , i like them rimz. Very nice. Im almost thinking bout doing it now.. and i was gonna go w/ bling bling rims :D

Jay eS Iye
03-30-2003, 08:57 PM
yeah i was thinkin the smae thing about the chop and the real thing lookin alike... what you should look into is makin your own badge for teh CRVtech, maybe put it in the back where the DX/EX/LX badge goes...

When u first posted about them, i thought it was gonna look like shit, but it looks pretty nice yo, but the rear of ur car is lower than the front, i say you gotta get coilovers and lower the front end a bit or raise the rear because it looks wierd as fuk....... i'm asuming the front is higher because of the b20 block is a lot bigger and higher.... but anyways, good choice on the rims yo, i like!!!

werent you gonna leave the lip silver?

03-31-2003, 12:03 PM
um tough guy it's v-tec so that makes it crv-tec

actually, tough guy, its VTEC, so it would be CRVTEC

Dude...I think it looks pretty good...a little flashy for me and yeah, you need to lower that puppy just a little bit in the front. My sedan does the same thing, but I am rolling on stock 13" steelies with donuts for tires :(

How's the paint holding up on the trim (rubber door stuff?) and your bumpers?? :confused: - I have an almost black car, and the trim & bumpers gets all shitty and grey looking cuz it isn't painted (stupid DX :mad: )

I did find EX bumpers (and door handles ;)) for my sedan, but I still think I wanna paint the door trim so I don't have to armor-all it all the time to make it black.

How come no one calls it a CRV/VTEC, like LS/VTEC:p

And on topic -- I cringed when I read the title, but you've gone and proved my initial reaction wrong -- Those look tight. And about the drop in the front, it might just be that the passenger side front is in a low spot, making the suspension on the other side compensate like that. Now all you need is a lip spoiler http://www.redpepperracing.com/chat/converts/yum.gif

Excellent idea dude...has anyone tried a 90-93 Integra sedan lip? would they fit on a Civic sedan bumper? :confused: that would be money :sun:

There is a lip on the 90-93 teg? I might have to try that ... cause I know greg put an 86-89 lip on his 88DX hatch ... which leads me to my next point which is that the 1st gen sedan lip will most likely fit the civic sedan

sastanley
03-31-2003, 03:41 PM
ah..excellent ...that is exactly what I was referring to, but I couldn't remember it was a lip on the 1G Teg's, and I remember someone here doing that...maybe that shiznit will fit..let us know ;)

good idea i might try that one next. and about my ride height in the front it is slightly higher due to the fact i have a b20 in there and one of pullies rubs againts my sway bar(i think its called) on every bump and my dc headers sit pretty low also so i decide to higher it a little bit. and i have R1 coilovers. i appreciate everybodies feed back though thanx alot.

Hmmmm...yeah...guess you gotta make some sacrifices there for that big, tall-ass motor ;) it just makes it look more like stock ride height tho - all the more to fool you with my unsuspecting friend - tee hee....vrooooooooooooom! :devil::devil: :bandit:

That looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of colored rims at all, but I'll have to make an exception for your car. That really does look good.
