Dropped her on ISC coils, Redid the brakes (faded red to silver), Got some audio in there, Intake and IC piping.

Also redid the headlights and waxed the car, so she started to look like this...

Didn't like the evo tails so i tinted em as well for now...

Tinted with a spray can, very light tint with clear coat you can still see the brake light clearly at night.

After a month or so of waiting on wheels, they finally arrived...

Why go the same route as you did with the civic? Buy some nice parts then fuck them up with some cheap knock-off wheels.

Buy nice, not twice. It's about quality, not the amount of things you can throw on as quick as possible.

hey to each their own, why dish out a couple grand for wheels when you can get em for less than $600.

Thank you. No sense in dishing out thousands for a set of wheels when cheaper varieties look just as good.

Nice set up Justin!!! I miss my EVO!
I looked into the XXR`s and they seem solid and great, but a little too heavy for me. Still looks great though

do you know the difference in a cheap wheel and an expensive wheel?

More often than not..... available bolt patterns. about it. XXRs are cheaper because they spin 1-2 different hub bores and use 1-2 different multi lug patterns.

you people who act like Kim Kardashian when it comes to wheels for your street car are a bunch of jackasses. You dont own and probably never have owned a car powerful enough to break the cheapest wheel money can buy. So wise up and quit spreading your bullshit opinion.
