Slammed and boost. 2 things that would greatly improve it.

nothin at all amazingly I bought it over by gainsville on what we call mexico city...but all I need to do is put in a power steering belt would remove the decals but the paint stuck to them on one side so I will probably just leave them on till I get money for paint.

good for the price, is it high mileage?
try using heat to remove the decals. damn that thing sits almost as high as my accord ;)

^^^^ yeah the heat will take it off My dad owns a viynl shop and I have to use a heat gun, or hair dryer on everything.

Take off those questionable graphics and lower it a bit, and you will be set as far as appearance. Performance is another issue.

Yea, I tried using heat by blow dryer and Im assuming that the person that had it before me had just tried to rip them off...so I will leave them on it till I can afford paint it has 140k but it runs great, shifts smooth, and sounds good so all and all good buy.

it depends on if you are planning on doing it right or not. Any more than 1.25-1.5" and you will definitely want to install a camber kit as well. Also, the lower you go, the faster you will wear out the factory struts. Get a setup that either includes or will allow the use of aftermarket struts. For street driven cars, I would go no more than a 2" drop. go with good name brand springs if you do not want them to sag after 10k miles. tanabe are ok, skunk2 are decent, eibach are the best IMHO, or a set of Tein springs would work good.

dude a 2 inch drop for some reason on a civic is a little too high go lower like 2.5 or 2.75 with a type r lip or the mugen lip
by the way if you want to make your car look like the one in your sig. forget what i said on the top i dont like to ricers

take off the vinyls even if paint comes off in the process- the car is black so you can always spray paint it ;)

paint the rims black... and slam it. Get some si tail lights and front end. Tint the windows like 15% and it'll look good. Regardless of the design. I'd rather have a shitty design than mess up the paint on a car.
I wish my design on the mustang wasn't painted on the fkn thing. :(
