What are the usual things people do to an EK civic (96 coupe to be exact, black). Dont say a swap/turbo im talking exterior. In my world every mk3 jetta gets smoked ecodes, smoked turns/fogs/sides, glx tails if they dont have them already, euro plate tub, dumped beyond drivability on 15s. Clean and simple. Name some good sites to browse at also if possible. Thanks
Lowered on nice wheels with 99/00 front end and a lip of some sort
slam it on a nasty set of 16ās, sidemarkers, oem fogs, rear window visor!
-99/00 front end is nice, but not going to happen due to car was just painted. So 96-98 will have to do.
-oem fogs, i think only the 99-00 came with the fog option correct? 96-98 just go in the middle of the bumper correct?
The plans consisted of:
red/clear āsi?ā tails
front lip of some sort
smoked headlights, have no idea where to start for that
coilovers, what brand?? i see skunk2 for 720 shippedā¦id like cheaper if possible
wheels? rota??, i like 15" but maybe 16" will do - 195/45/15 tire. or 195/40/16
Thats all i can think of really. Im sure it will get some type of swappage down the road.
I am a huge fan of the OEM CTR styling
they did make fogs for the 96-98 they are rare but out there.
heres a set of replicas on ebay:

i like the lip in the first pic, and those fogs are badass and the 3rd pic is the stance ill achieve. Nothing beats good olā rake, huge in the vw scene. So where is a good site to browse for some of this stuff? jdmcarboy.com is a place i used to deal with about 5-6yrs ago when i was into hondas but id like to see what others have to say. Im a stickler for good fitment by the way.
Iām in the same situation. I have a silver 97 coupe. I may do 99 00 front, with a lip, slammed on some blades and call It a day as far as looks are concerned
I do like the 99 front end, but thats a pain to have it painted. especially since this car was just paintedā¦So thats out. I do like blades also, with a nice small tire thatd be nice. Whats the āhonda forumā??
the first lip is for 99-00 front end
Hondamarketplace.com. You will find everything ya need there man!
Lmao @ b20
Also for your front end, I like the Mugen front lip quite a bitā¦ as well as the Backyard Special or Airwalker front bumpersā¦ it takes a lot to pull them off though.
Mugen lip
BYS
Airwalker (knockoff, missing mesh and/or intercooler)
yah im keeping the stock bumper, just a lip. I do like the mugen lip but all i see is knock offs, hows the fitment on those? If anyone has OEM Si tails lmk, ill take them off your hands
The fitment on the real ones is outstanding I imagine, but they are really expensiveā¦ especially if youāre going to be driving it every day with the risks of cracking it etc. They are usually around 500-700.
yah thats a bit much, its the daily driver and the last thing i want is a shattered 500.00 lip. Saw a knockoff for 105 which isnt to bad, fogs for 70, tails 140 for oem and headlights i still cant find something that looks decent. I like oem ājdmā but cant see spending 500.
Leave the head lights stock
i want smoked, so its either DIY or spend the bank on legit oem smoked ones seen here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-CIVIC-TYPE-R-EK9-GENUINE-HEADLIGHTS-NEW-96-98-SI_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem35a326666cQQitemZ230370469484QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
