Default Neglected Civic:

2001 Civic Sedan
When I 1st brought her home in 2010
She was on Tokico Blue Struts and Tein Springs Already and I thought it was DUMPT





The engine was rough so I cleaned it up a bit


How she looked after a bit of cleaning up



Then I installed the Wheels the car came with for a good week then took them off 18in sportmaxes haha


Then I bought a full lip kit for it, and then I removed the halo lights and slapped on an X because JDM


I was rocking this look for awhile because I was in college no funds


Trust me guys it gets better.


The semester ended so I found a job back home and money started flowing.


Headliner was shot so I replaced it Before and After


Then I was heavy into the JDM scene so I black out my OEM headlights.. I ***** it so much

Then operation Overhaul began and the lows came in, Ground Control Coils


After it was all installed



Got so fed up with how riced out this looked, so i did this..




Started looking halfway decent.
Never went through a bunch of wheels, never wanted to spend $200 here and there for some shitty OEM wheels that I would just get rid of later so I rocked steelies for a long time.




Then I branded Her "StayClassy" and has been the theme for the car ever since..


Interior needed some pop and too be different from the rest so I went with this..


Also this



Then I got my mirrors painted and bought new headlights



Then school started back so I was left to ride around like this for awhile




Picked up an aftermarket grille [/url]



How she currently sits, Still waiting on my 25mm spacers and I still need to cut my front perches to go lower up front its not low enough for me.

Advan RGII 17x7.5 +42, already looking into different wheels haha


25mm spacers will help this out a lot.


Lots still to come for this car, thanks for viewing

Thanks Man, I feel like it would be classier with a different set of wheels. Looking into some Futura's currently

Talk about a 180 degree change... Love threads like this. Looking real good as is, those spacers should really help it out though!

Wow,

Thanks everyone! Would have never thought I would receive this much positive feedback on a model civic everyone hates. The car has come so far and my taste in mods have changed drastically. Few things going on this weekend i'll update you all very soon. Thanks again !

Here's what happened yesterday, we replaced the hubs with newer ones since I was missing a stud and one of the studs were short.


Then we tackled cutting the perches off on my struts for more lows!
Also my passenger side axle was stripped pretty bad so we replaced that as well..


Got the newer hub/rotor/brakes on with the perches cut
Still plenty of space for adjustment


Test Fitted the Spacers just to make sure the studs cleared and didn't need to be cut.
These will go on Wednesday, got to wait for a buddy to come down and properly roll them.


How the front sits now. My axles are rubbing so I've gotta do some notching and go just a wee bit lower..
