Love the set up! Was going to get a white g but then decided to get a 15' black q60s. Do you mind telling me what the wheels specs are on the work meisters?

Wow that's really impressive, the stock motor was supercharged? Would love to know type of suspension work done . I have an old 2005 Civic LX sedan I will be modding in the future. I love their factory stock shape n design

I contacted Redshift suspension to make coil overs for my car. now they were track ready so i dont know if it is what you will want for the LX. I went thru 3 different sets of suspension on my honda. I think for you a set of Eibach Prokit and a decent shock/strut would be perfect. thats what i did first and it was awesome for when i just had mild bolt ons.

So this has been something i have wanted to do for a while. I wanted to ditch the IPL bumper for something a little more subtle and flowed better with the car. i found an authentic Zele bumper for the G. This isnt one of the VIS "Z-style" or the Outcast garage bumper. i have been looking for one of these bumpers for quiet some time and stumbled on one over the summer. Yesterday i finally test fitted it on my car as i took of the IPL for a friend who is going to buy it.

It will be going to paint in the next month or so.

LOL, congrats, louith. It's an awkward thing, modding a car that you're still paying off, isn't it?

Well, couple things happened. nothing major lol. i sold my IPL bumper to a buddy of mine locally that had a Ivory Pearl coupe. i was kind of sad to see it go. kind of felt like an end of an era lol



the Mrs bought me a Toll Booth ***** aluminum under tray. Finally got around to installing it. I was waiting for the under tray to arrive before finally bolting down the new front bumper. Hopefully she goes to paint here soon. Going to paint the bumper and blend the hood and fenders.

Every time I see this zele bumper, it makes me unsure whether to get this or the IPL. I do think the zele looks better on white g's rather than black obsidian
