hey man quick question what bulbs are you using for DrL/High Beams and Parking Lights/Turn Signals. Also did you leave the amber reflector in Parking Lights/Turn Signals. I am about to start my Mini H1 Projector set up for my 14 Si in White. Thinking of going all chrome inside and only have amber markers on the side to break up the chrome.

Everything you're asking about is still stock. Amber reflector is also still in tact. Only the low beam bulbs were replaced with hids.

Yeah the sbc aka black chrome/hyper black is awesome. Wouldn't have went with any other color. Flashy but not too flashy.

 

[derekfriedrice]

@Joe Liu perfect tire size too, nice and meaty but slightly stretchy.

 

[Joe Liu]

@derekfriedrice lol i wouldn't say meaty but definitely a mild stretch..215/40 seems the way to go on 9" wide wheels.

What is that magic that is lifting the scooobie in the garage? That's awesome. Cars look good!

 

[Joe Liu]

@derekfriedrice it's a scissor lift. cost a little more than a full set of coilovers but very convenient if you work on cars. if my car wasn't lowered i could easily just drive over it too without the use of planks.

Love the look of your car. is your car a a/t or m/t? Just wondering.

 

[Joe Liu]

@bp517 Auto. it's my daily beater. Honestly, there's really no point in getting a manual r18 unless money is tight (about 1k cheaper). I mean it's not exactly meant to be a sports car. We have the subie for that purpose lol. The civic is a head turner though

Daily beater!!!!!hahaha....that one nice beater man!
