Time will tell, I guess. I'll post a picture of the can in case it works out. I'll report back either way.

Frank's right about the paint of course. But it's not as if these cars would every look showroom anyway. It will get scrapes and chips soon enough... and there is a certain rat nastiness about it. bwahaha!

Guys, you can see from the sticker that he's probably got 32 - 33 feet left, when it starts looking less than awesome he can just unroll some fresh

Thanks! It actually came with the car, and I liked the look so it never got messed with, unlike so many other things on it!

They're ridetech aluminum airstruts, better not fail (weren't cheap). If they do, I've got another 987,000 miles worth of warranty left.

If you're upper arms are stock, you can go lower before hitting. Its the adjustable ones that hit easier.

With those arms, watch out for bushing failures. The honda stuff isn't cheap, but it lasts.

Plans on mirror deletes and grill blocks?

[vrmouseyd15b]

I'm looking at blocking the lower grill right now, mirrors have to stay (I draw enough attention)

my rear toe thingies came in today! I'll probably fight the old ones out this weekend and get a true zero alignment


nice eBay cheapies, 38.99 free shipping same cost for the pair as for one stock side (sold individually) at the local parts place. .

You know, I used to think that way but now idgf because I've had multiple people either ridicule me because of my car but then when I tell them my last tank was 56mpg it shuts them right up.

If you wanted to You could just try to take the passenger mirror off and see how it'll work for you, in some states some cars don't even come with a passenger mirror

[vrmouseyd15b]

I am more worried about the police giving me hassle with out side mirrors.I could care less what people think about the looks of my car. Most small town cops don't have any crimes to chase, they just find interesting ways to be a pain...

[tvbd56]

That is true, I've thought about that. The way I see it is that if police are really are looking for something like that to pull someone over, I think that's good because who knows what someone could have in their car. I personally have nothing to hide from the police, so chances are if I am to get pulled over for no passenger mirror I'd either get a ticket (which would be my own fault) or the officer would tell me to put one on. But I get the small town cop thing, they'd probably find an excuse to pull over for scraping the air dam.

I'm not trying to convince you to do so, I'm just giving my opinion Plus I had a coupe of your generation civic and my all around vision was a lot worse in the civic compared to my CRX
