Now lowered! (Civic)

[shane_lxi]

Normally I use my Girlfriend as my car model, but she was asleep, so my Dad will have to do :D, lol. I finally got it lowered, looks pretty damn good I think. Those wheels look alot better then the white wheels ever did. Here are the very, VERY few things I have done to it since I bought it a month ago. Tell me what you think though. (PS: I have these pics posted in the thread 'A Busy Day For UPS', but since it was an old thread, I didn't get any response, so I made a new thread for the finished pics :D )

That's it, tell me what you think!

[Vinny]

Car looks better. One question though. Why is there someone sitting on your car???????

[Dennis]

it's his car model!

[shane_lxi]

Oh, that guy? He is this crazy guy that walks around our town. We call him 'Sits on Hoods Guy'. LOL, JK. That's my dad. He was sitting on it for this pic:
http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/6/web/510000-510999/510445_14_full.jpg
To hold down the hood, but he wouldn't get off when I asked him to. So he stayed in that pic. "Why can't I be on your website too?" he said, so I wasn't going to say "Cause you are an ugly bastard", so I let him stay in :D. Thanks for the props though.



it's his car model!

No, these are my car models. LOL.

[Dennis]

cut the bitches head off and they'll be straight

[NXRacer]

i have a question, why do you always take pictures in the middle of the night? wouldnt it be easier to do it during the day??? You usually get better pictures that way. :D

[Dennis]

he's nocturnal, duh

[shane_lxi]

I have explained it before. I work until 7:00 every night, and I have shcool until I go to work. So i am gone from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm every night. By the time I get home, no light :D. So most of my pics are taken at night. The only time I could do it during day would be sunday, and that is MY TIME!

[Busted_Blue]

hmm...awfully huge rims for a Civic. Nonetheless nice drop, looks better. IMO the tails break the car.

[NXRacer]

hah hah shane, you're gonna keep getting crap for those lights until you get em blacked out or something. nobody seems to remember what your plans for those are. :D

[lightbulblxi]

yo daddy look good, make him back that ass up! haha, jp man. seriously, i was playin. looks nice man, 2 things tho, like nx said, get rid of the tails, and move ur car into light, such as the garage to take pics, jp man.

[blazin3gen]

yo daddy look good, make him back that ass up! haha, jp man. seriously

:ugh: :barf:


damnit shane fack those nite picks and take all your pics on "sunday" so we can see that cancer on the wheel well :D

[shane_lxi]

lol. I need to save up like $250 to fix that. It is very higly cancerous, I hope it doesn't spread between now and the time I save up the money to fix it.

Oh, and for the records, I am going to say this one more time, though I have said it a million times before...
THE TAILIGHTS ARE GOING TO BE SMOKED WITH ABOUT 6 COATS OF NIGHT SHADE. I FIGURE I CAN GET THE ALTEZZA'S DARKER THEN STOCK TAILS. I ALSO PLAN TO GET ANGEL EYES FOR THE FRONT, AND SMOKE THOSE AS WLL, THOUGH NOT AS DARK. THAT IS ILLEGAL, BUT OH WELL, I CAN JUST PUT THE STOCK ONES ON IF THEY SAY SOMETHING.
There, NX is the ONLY one who remembers me getting pissed the last time I posted a thread for my civic, goddammit. I hate repeating myself (I am very quickly turning more bitter then Kicker1_solo ever was. Maybe I will soon be the official 3geez insult jerk :D. Yay, I will be able to live up to the name of my 3g role model :D )

[Ravenix]

does your hood not stay closed or something?

[blazin3gen]

lol no he needs to invest in a hood latch lol

u should of got that before the rims and drop lol

[shane_lxi]

The hood latch broke. I am going to take it to my friend Jaden's house (He has a nice 4 car garage with lifts :D) and I am going to put in the new latch, and fix some other stuff under there taht is acting up.

Remember, I only paid $2400 for this car! IMO, a bad rust spot above the rear wheel well, and a broken hood latch is a small price to pay concidering that I payed about $1500 less then blue book for it. I still like it, I just need to fix those two little problems. Not bad I htink.

[shane_lxi]

lol no he needs to invest in a hood latch lol

u should of got that before the rims and drop lol

Hey, it's not really paying for it if you charged it :D, lol. yeah, the onlly reason I got tha done first is because I could do it all myslef, lowering it, and putting new tires and wheels on it only cost me like $600 all together. Working at a tire and suspension shop is soooo nice some times :D. Aren't you all jealous. lol.

[HondaBoy]

hey, its comming along. not too shabby. so whats with those "models" by the hb accord? am i the only seeing that? . but yeah, your car is comming along alright........ had to bite my lip on what i said about the "models"

[shane_lxi]

lol. Those are the ugliest models ever. They were that cars models at world of wheels in Boston. I made that pwned pic, and posted it on one of the boards after that thread posted the image. Ugly ass car models.

[NotFast]

hey shane get rid of those atezzas, jk man, IMO i'd have it lower, but it looks good

[SteveDX89]

It looks better now than when you got it. Good work. Now, you know with a bunch of guys roaming around this site, we want your girl modeling. Get it together man. LOL. :D

[shane_lxi]

hey shane get rid of those atezzas, jk man, IMO i'd have it lower, but it looks good

A guy I know has a red '95 Civic. He dropped it 2", and rolled the wheel wells, even used a sawzall to get the wheels to tuck right, and they still rub like shit when he take a corner. I figured 1.6" would be enough for me. And yeah, it rubs like crazy.

[Neuspeed87lx]

1.6 inch drop and your still rubbing ? what size rims/tires are those ? i had my 96 dropped on 19s and i didnt rub ..... and imo i would just get some red/clear taillights instead of smoking those.... i think it would looke better.... just my thoughts though .... nice rims

[shane_lxi]

I was going to put these red ones on, but it didn't look all that great. Also, one of my friend's is going to Wyo tech, and is going to paint my car when he get't back, so I think hte smoked tails will look great with my new gunmetal paint job :D.

[k-roy]

man your car model is fugly.
Where the hell is your wing? I think your car really needs one.

[shane_lxi]

NO! I hate spoilers! The only spoilers that look good are the stock spoilers (the shorter stock spoilers, not the tall ones), but I don't think those look good on the sedans, just on the coupes. So, I don't see a spoiler going on this anytime shortly :P.
