Nice car. I'd like to see what the other wheels look like. Im not a big fan of the current ones.

Question... why not use the H&R springs?

the mdx wheels will fit i just need low profile tires and i need wheel spacers for the front cause they will rub the RL calipers

im waiting to get some suspension for it might just settle for some h&r springs right now and then wait on the comfort sports and the sunroof visor is a good look in my book thanks for the opinion though i have the lip kit coming in but they discontinued the sideskirts in my color

yeah once i get tires for it they will be on my car i think they would look really good with a drop and the lip kit

And, yes the wheels don't look like the factory-installed RL wheels - are they MDX wheels or some custom wheels? Where did you get them from??

Holy crap you NYC guys really got a lot of snow lol

Post pics of the Civic!

And aren't there some more affordable suspension options to hold you off until you get the teins? EIbachs or Konis or something?

In that picture we actually got 21 inches of snow! It was horrible but the rl handled amazing in thde snow I was very impressed. The civic I don't have many good looking pictures of the car but I will post what I have. We are expecting to get another 24 inch snow storm tomorrow I was told! And as far as suspension goes I wanna just get the teins and save the stock suspension for as long as I can don't wanna lower it on stock and take away life from the struts faster







And this was a tl I saw on the way to work day after the storm, poor thing got. Stuck on the ramp to go onto 287
