I had 02 R/T's and sold them but can get another set again cheap. i also have snow flakes on my 1gn but i was thinking SRT rims maby with SRT brakes? and SRT facia not 100% might just grab some 17 inch with a polish lip... this car is my commuter so far.... lol for winter rims i was thinkign doing the same thing i did to my honda. black steelies with crhome trim rings.. lol ppl thought they were "rims" hahahah any sujestions?

I'm excited to see progress on this! It's lowered, but on what kind of spring?

I'd say don't do the SRt wheels. They're heavy, everybody without an SRT has done them, and they're really not that good looking...

I agree.
Lose all those stupid Mopar stickers. :thumbup: Looks like it could use a ton of TLC. Detail it inside and out. Thats always the first thing I do when I pick up a car.

It's lowered on 1gn stockers

I duno what to do with rims... i know SRT's are big and heavy bit they are kinda neat (but thats just me) although i do like the SX 10 spokes too.

As soon as x mas is over i'm detailing the living crap out of it. and the mopar stickers are already gone. :) and 2 out of the 3 blue peices.

Meh, can't be any worse than it is now. (no offense, not a fan of that style front bumper tho)

i agree 100%!!!!! lmao i want an R/T or SRT front 2 choices are SRT fuck kit or R/T with mopar lip kit.

Why not just a R/t with Civlic lip? Easy to do, and you won't have to change your headlights, etc out.

Sure a lot of people are doing it now, but it still look really damn good.

hmmmmm yeah could.... i like the idea of doing an R/T with the grill taken out looks kinda mean

regular 02 bumper w/ 99-00 Civic Type-R lip. For less than $100, this bumper is complete, plus paint afterward.

(Not saying mine is for sale. I'm saying that's how cheap it is for that front).

Mopar lip w/ that front is secks.
