looks like a nice car, welcome to the site

[NXRacer]

looks good. how banged up is it? :D

those wheels look pretty good on it. Lower it little and it'll look even better!

welcome to the site BTW. LOTS of info here just search before you ask.

The whole front end, bothe fneders, and the driver's side door need to be replaced. I work at les schwabs and got the springs in already, it will be dropped 1.5 inches, also, the wheels are 17 inch amp ones, I bought them one day after I bought the car
:)

Looks nice, it's got some potential for sure.

[shane_lxi]

Thanks. This might sound dumb, but what do you meen my koni's? If you meen Konig, I don't like those wheels on 3g's, but if you meen something else, tell me. Also, how do you make clear sidemarkers? I have seen a few cars on the board with them.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING MY FRIENDS!!!

That is just like mine, which is a black 89 with the tan/black int. You should put some tint on there and paint the tails red, it makes the black look real good. The prob with mine is that the paint is flaking on the hood and roof, I just need to get unlazy and spraybomb it back to its beautiful black state. Welcome, if you havent, check out the FAQ and the How-To sub-forums, they are very helpful when your new to a 3g.

Thanks. I already have plans for the tails. I am going to use red spray tint on them first, then I am going to do a couple coats of black night shade on them. The result is so black, that it is hard to tell whether or not they have actually been painted over! My sister's boy friend did it to his civic, and it looks mint! The paint on my car is bad too, but I bought it with the intention of getting it painted soon anyway, so that was no big deal. It will have to be primer balck for about 3 months though, atleast until I can save up 700 bucks for the paint job.

I will have some more pics in about five minutes.... wait a sec

Koni is a strut mfg for our cars. If you get stiffer springs, which you did, you need to run struts with more dampening power. With the stock struts your car will ride like crap.

These pics are REALLY BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgive me, I live in a town taht rains alot, and these were taken a second ago, while it is raining, and it is also night time, the next pics will be when I get the springs on, and the body fixed, and my muffler on too, the car will probably be primer black on the next images.... so, here they are (THEY ARE REALLY BAD!!!!!!!!!)

Here is a pic of the tails:

[MrBen]

Ouch!

[shane_lxi]

yeah, that ding is pretty bad...

But, like I said, I'll fix the body next month (I know a guy who will sell me all I need for 75 bucks!!!), and in taht same month, but later on, I am going to put the new muffler system in, after taht, It's straight to the garage for sanding and priming all night long, then I will have a little photo shoot, and post more pics, but that will be in a little while...)

That car looks like mine stock for stock exactly, except for different tranny.

[shane_lxi]
