Once you get the item and put it into your car they can't say anything really cuz u already put it on, and you can return it.
My parents didn't let me get a motorcycle but when I got it they didn't say anything cuz I already bought it.
They'll get tired of telling you not to do it, so eventually it will stop. Hehe.

Why r they harrassing you, whos paying for it? I pay for my car and they know they cant tell me anything. On the other hand, if they're paying for it, then theres not much you can say. You should be thankful for a free car. I wish I had that cuz working all through school sucks!

well the first civic was 6k i paid that and about 6k more for all the mods this one is 14k$ and my rents spotted me the 6k for the down payment but im paying them back as soon as i sell my car next week..so im paying for it but i guess i should lay low till i sell my other car and its all mine. i wish i got a free car my friend got a 2003 SI for graduation...luckily i saved up enough money to pay the payments for a year so i dont have to work during school

All I got for graduation was a solid kick in the ass. lol. Nah I'm joking, my mom spotted my downer but it was only a grand and with shitty credit look what I had to get!!!

I'm in the process of getting a Type R Civic (converted of course).

Wanna know a tip to turning your parents over? Whenever they tell you not to mod your car, tell them okay I won't mod it. Then buy like 5 autotraders, and constantly bug them about buying you a faster nicer car. I did that for two weeks and needless to say, my mom backed off and not only allowed me to mod my Corolla, she encouraged it.

"Mom check out this 1998 Integra Type R with a turbo kit... $27,000.00... Wanna help me get it? I won't mod it...."
"So why don't you get an intake for your car this weekend? I'll pay for the shipping"

Brings back some memories...

I can't tell you how many times girls have told me, "no more hooking up."

I remember you, RicerGurl. You're 5th gen was very nice! I liked the color and the kit. I just remember the pic I saw with you sitting down next to your car... can't say that the car was the ONLY thing nice in the pic.

As for your situation... it's the same as when I first got my car. I started sneaking in parts that my parents couldn't really notice. They never peak in the engine bay so in went a CAI and strut tower bar right away. Put in some sport springs... the car lowered, but my parents never noticed. I also put projector headlights and sidemarkers on and they didn't notice that either... they probably think they come that way... or as an option. I dunno.

After a while... I started putting bigger things on the car. Exhaust system (2 seperate times), leather Integra seats, new sound system, blue lights everywhere. They were mad that I was "wasting" my money at first... but then they kinda let me go with it. After all, it IS my money. They do try and keep me in check once in a while though... which is good. They just make sure that I don't spend ALL my money and keep some saved... because I will surely need it one day.

thankz for the compliments... well one catch is that my mom has a 01 civc four door so if something doesnt look rigth she'll know by comparing it to her car...unless she'll buy" but mom cai was COUP option they didnt offer on sedans" i doubt ill have money to spend like i did on the 94 cuz i have a payment again and im not working for at least 6 months of college cuz they wont let me..only problem with the intake is that you can hear it
