Default my lip

i got this lip kit from ebay and havent put it on yet. i have been debating to get 18 chrome rims for my civic or not but i thought if i got these rims the lip wouldnt look nice.. its black and my car is blue. i wanted to take some pictures and see what you all think..

i am now thinking about just getting 17s with inserts that i can change to match my car.. and then put the lip kit on..

let me know what you guys think.. i have about a grand to work with for rims and tires.. or if there is anything online for a little less that looks just as nice i will get. i told my brother to hold it up against the car lol

They sell DEFOG kits at walmart for 20$, sand and wax and your headlights look new. or just go to wal mart and they can do it for you.

I hate cars with blue lights, look cheap and blinding everytime.

That generation's headlights seem to fog really fast and look really really white, my sister has an 01 and hers are really bad too.

noo don't get 18" chrome wheels. i think some black, gunmetal, bronze or gold wheels would look best on your car. well you can buy a kit from autozone for headlight restoration to get the yellow haze thats building up on your headlight

just slap on the lip and roll with it. lol and looks like your bumper can use some fixing

Damn i didnt even notice that scratch nice eyes sfazgiants haha but i say paint the lip blue...do like i mentioned a few mins ago on ur "which rims" thread and do a short drop. those Honda Fit wheels i told u about you could deffinitely get for wayyy less than 1000 on craigslist im sure and painting that lip (and bumper) is what u can use the remainder of the money for! Its simple economics my friend hahaha jk jk

What's with the chrome thing above the upper grille? Did it come like that?


Anyway... defog the headlights for sure. If there's water in them then you need to take them off and reseal them.
