Default Hello From Sunny Phoenix!

Hi everyone! My name is Dylan and I just purchased my first car. With help from my dad and fellow neighbor/Honda enthusiast I picked up this beautiful 1996 Civic EX 5 speed. Bone stock; clean slate. A small dent on the fender and some paint chips, but other than that it's perfect for me.



Just looking for some tips on small mods here and there. I plan on installing a much better stereo because the current one isn't all that great. This Civic will not have a body kit bolted on, TV antenna on the back, pea shooter exhaust...no no no.

Welcome. Just FYI, that's a 95. But it already looks decent with the factory front lip and rear lip.

I'd say get some fog lights, JDM style amber corners, maybe red/clear tail lights (clean, not ricer), and call it good. That'll make it really clean.

Thanks Not sure why I typed 1996. On the bill of sale it says 1994, and you're saying 1995. Talk about confused.

This is good.

Search around the forums for cheap little things to do to the car. I believe we have a thread on this forum called "tips and tricks" which can help you a little.

I would look at getting some suspension as a first major mod.

Welcome to the forum!

Got some really nice speakers installed over the weekend. No woofer or amps yet. Next thing i'll do is lower it just a hair and get some upgraded springs.
