Alberto's modest civic build

[Alberto521]

^^ looks like we are going to get an early spring this year although I'm East of you and I think we generally get less snow than you.
Weather reports say we are headed to double digits this week. (We use Celsius, not Fahrenheit)

Idk man, i don't wanna risk it haha. Chicago is weird, it can be 50F one day and 0F and a Blizzard the next day. Im probably going to wait until last week of March to put back on my RE71Rs.

Haven't you heard of The Weather Network @Alberto521?
It takes me about half of an hour to swap wheels on my car. I do it myself. It's going to be warm for a least a week here or maybe even longer so I don't want to drive around with the winter wheels on. They're not supposed to driven on when it's above 7 degrees celsius. If it's going to stay warm for a week long it's worth taking them off for me.

Mayble ill throw them on tomorrow.

Swapped my wheels over yesterday afternoon and gave my car a quick wash

Why so many stickers? You are already over 305hp with all those stickers!

Are you happy with that fitment now?

I thought you were going for this look with the fender flares

I don't know what you are doing with your car, but you might wanna buy some lightweight wheels. The ones you have now are very heavy. I would also remove those stickers to keep it clean and simple. Less is better

Anyway good luck and keep us updated

i thought it was gonna look more like that also. but if you are happy with it all on you.


Edit: i agree lighter wheels is a better option if you want to auto x like a rpf1 or something around that nature.

 

[Jake LXer]

i also thought that was his intended look

Like these?

They remind me of BBS LM's sorta

 

[Alberto521]

I just looked at them... man, they only make them on a +40 offset, 9in width... uggg

What do you guys think of square wheels G8?

Or maybe Enkei RPF2 17x9.5 +18

Anyways... 03/20/2016... another addon to what possibly is the most roddiculous civic in the site (lol) .. bought this lip off a friend for $60.00


I'll post pics of it on tomorrow during the day.

Why does your headlights look like a rainbow with so many colors? green, blue, red, pinkish

Maybe the lighting inside your garage?

It's a translucent vinyl wrap, some people call it the alien eye look. Come on man get with the times!

That is a "thing"?

Does it affect the light going through? I'd think it would give you less visibility. Correct?

i dono. no one in my car circle here has done it. i would think that it would cut down on usable light though.

 

[Jake LXer]

Yessir depending on the transparency it reduces visibility

Quick question... how do you get your front bumper off? It looks like you rivited your flairs to it.
