Well guys, I finally decided to fix up my car...so I saved up lots of $ and now its getting fully redone. I have lowered it with Tockico blues with Suspension Techniques lowering springs...I have Core Racing 18's with 215/35's on it, next spring i will get 17s...need more tire. I am also getting a new paint job soon and a new motor. Let me know waht u think, i like to hear feedback.

18's are not my cup of tea, when you get 17's it will look a lot nicer.

That was unesessary quicksliver. :rant2: :confused2:


Not my favorite either but its not my car.

On a positive note, i really like what u have done with the signals, and the corner markers, (they look diguised in black) and id really like to know more about them!

Should look sweet tho when ur all done :D

I have to fully disagree with you guys,
18s are never too big. 19s and 20s, yeah but not 18s unless you are afraid of hurting the performance of your car
Those 18s look alright on your car. Would I rather go for 17s or 16s? Yes

I like the rims even though they are black. Get some Civic Projectors and your car will look mean.

I think what is funny you car seems dropped (according to gap between fender and tires) but is too much off the ground. I think a set of side skirts would arrange that.
clean ride but like other said I would look better on 17's

Looks good but those wheels are waaay to big for the car and they look like MR7's which are so overused these days.

Thx Quicksilver I appreciate it. Yea,I got the rims off a friend for cheap so they work for now.. The springs have settled in better now so it sits better, those are bad pics. I will post some new ones later, I will get 17's in the spring, and no they are not to big at all, they actually look normal to me now.

Where did u buy the tint spray?


I intend on stealing your idea if you dont mind. And I too think the rims look better in the second set!

Black mx-3 = sexy
