So I bought my car a few weeks ago, on Memorial Day and I must say, I LOVE IT! Compared to my 06 Nissan Sentra, this car blows my mind. Since these machines have so much potential, I've decided to start a build thread so everyone can see and also to keep track of my progress. I've yet to do anything major so far, but here goes...

Stock pics, just got home from the dealership:
Hood Car Bumper Vehicle Automotive design
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Mid-size car Automotive design
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Blue White

Took her to the beach to play in the sand :shipwrecked::
Vehicle Car Headlamp Hood Bumper
Blue Automotive exterior Sky Vehicle Bumper


Added HIDs, 10,000K on top and 3,000K on the bottom:
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Automotive exterior Automotive lighting
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Headlamp Automotive lighting
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Headlamp Hood
Headlamp Automotive lighting Automotive exterior Bumper Hood


That's all for now, let me know what you think...

I plan on bending her over and...oo you mean the car. :signlol:

Definitely coilovers, intake, hondata, red honda emblems, and side markers from kplayground.
I'll roll with that for now and as time goes on maybe i'll look into Full Race exhaust and turbo kit...

So I got bored today and said to myself, "hey let's spend $19.99 on my car". I then ordered license plate holders and an iPhone case from PW:JDM... :whatdoyouthink:

ok guys, after seeing almost everyone drop their civic already, i've finally broken down and ordered a set of road magnet springs today... i figured i'll ride with em until my shocks wear out, then get coilovers... i just hope the road magnets are a decent drop. i'll be posting before and after pics when getting them installed.

personally, i would do the lip kit for the sedan. it looks great all around, but if you want to do the ez-lip temporarily thats fine also.

Yea man save up for it. Get what u really want and don't settle for less. Our ninth gens are beautiful cars, so take the time to do your research and buy decent, quality parts for it. That way in the end you'll look at it and feel proud of your hard work and dedication. That's how I felt when I did my sentra :)
