tail light thoughts???

Different-colored lips and bodykits, whether cf or not, are ricey. If your car was black it wouldn't be bad but on silver.. not seein it man. If you like it go for it though.

GScivic7....alright i'm gonna drop her about 1.75" and use a camber kit, because i've heard that handling goes to shite after that even with the kit...

would you drop the front 1.75 and the back 1.5 or go the same with each??....i'm gonna be using the TEIN Flex coil-over system...

you know i started liking the lights a lot more after i got those rotas on there too.....probably will work even better if i can take the window tint a couple shades darker....

i was thinking about a CF lip....do they make them for the stock bumpers? do they have them for front and rear?....having that black-ish colored lip on the front and back might help tie in all of the black accent stuff on the ride.....thoughts appreciated.....thanks as always...mc

www.jdmshit.com for the lip

as for dropping it, the best way is to measure from the center of the wheel to the fender on all four corners. The get the coilovers on there and drop them however much you feel like is right, but make sure that all four corners have the same measurements after you drop it. After a few weeks you may want to re-measure and raise the coilovers up a bit because after the springs settle it'll probably a little bit lower than what you want.

I like the contrast of a CF hood and/or CF lip on other than black cars, but when you get the sides and rear lip, that's when I feel it needs to be painted.

thanks for all the ideas.....i'll keep you guys updated on the swap and exterior progress as i'm going at my cardomain site.....

i got my black JDM CTR style headlights last night and have a qwik q about the size of bulb/housing for that daytime running bulb, but will post it in the JDM section.....

thanks again......laters...mc

Not to push the jdm craze, but you can buy painted ctr front/rear lips on ebay or the classifieds section for like $50 each and look a hell of a lot cleaner than most bodykits.

was i just being warned not infringe on a copyright of RX-8 tail lights??? WTF??? i don't think that has anything to do with this topic....

but you guys we better pay attention and not try any RX-8 tail light conversions on our civics, cuz it's been patented!!!!...i think he'll track us down and sue.....

i think that's about the most hilarious and depressing thing i've heard.....
