Haha, we'll see! :) I probably won't drop it too much, because I don't wanna blow the struts right away. But as long as it's lower, it's fine with me. Haha

Wheels, tires, shaved antenna, full repaint, headers, intake, exhaust, coilovers, control arms, eyelines, lip, side skirts, hood, hatch...
That's a basic overview, I suppose. Then just little odds and ends. It all adds up, unfortunately... :( Getting good stuff ain't cheap! Haha

Dang, I could've been supercharged and then some for what I've spent! Haha Oh well, it's all good. As long as it turns out exactly how I want, then I'll pay whatever it takes. ;)
I wanna buy some damned coilovers for the Civic instead of those $50 junk eBay sleeves... But I just don't want them to get all nasty and such from daily driving. It's hard to win with that car... :( So much I wanna do, but I'll just have to let the boxes pile up in my room until I get another car to drive (S13 Coupe FTW!). I wanna keep everything I put on it looking perfect!
 
im sorry did i say 9? i mean more like 11 lol.
Hey if your finished product is what u want then u should be happy
oh gawd, lets not throw numbers out on mods for the tib... it hurts my head adding mine all up... just my air ride and widebody adds up to right under 9k

whats your future plans for the civic?

For the Civic, I just wanna make it unbelievably clean and low, with top of the line products. Keep the exterior basically OEM except for an SiR front lip, Spoon CF duckbill spoiler, and JDM headlights, shave the emblems and antenna, and paint it a really nice, bright red (no metallic!). Throw in a B16 from the Civic SiR after I completely rebuild it with performance parts (keeping it N/A as far as I can tell, around 220 whp hopefully) and completely shaving and tucking the engine bay. Then gutting the interior completely (possibly just two seats, a dash, center console, door panels and floormats), putting in a fancy roll cage or Next Miracle-X bar setup, and cruising hard! Whatever wheel setup I get, I'm thinking 15x9 +10 in front and +0 in back with 195/45-15 Toyo T1Rs. Function and Form Type 2 coils, Function7 control arms, Omni or Buddy Club camber kit... The list goes on and on!

Haha, sorry, I was in the zone! ;)

Haha, thanks a lot, man! :)
Once I find out outrageously expensive it's gonna be to have the flares molded, I'll be able to plan out the parts purchasing for the Civic better. They should be here by the end of the week, though!
I might go ahead and purchase a couple of little things for the Civic. Maybe do two or three hundred a month in parts or something... Then order a motor to start working on before too long! ;)

Thanks, man! Always appreciated. :)
And just a little update here... We got my friend's truck tinted a few days ago with 5% all around, and after seeing the difference it made and remembering my girlfriend (I'll call her that. I don't really know what she is anymore... :( ) demanding that I get tint every time she rides in ol' white, I stopped and got the Civic tinted with 5% today. It's nice and dark! There's a few spots that they might need to fix, but we'll see!
Also, the flares should be here in a couple of days, so I'm excited to see how they look! I have no idea when they're gonna get installed because I'd like to have the wheels ordered first, but I don't know yet. I just know it'll be pricey to have them molded and everything!

Haha, no way! I just know that if I get the flares done before wheels, I'll just put some big adapters on my current wheels and keep putting off the new ones because I'll keep getting other stuff. That just wouldn't fly with me! I might even just order 2 wheels first to get things rolling. :)

It's never done! ;) Hopefully the flares are what I'm hoping for. If not, then I'll sell them and just get some more conservative Meisters! Haha
This is gonna be a super expensive transformation, unfortunately... It might take a while to complete!
