Phister's car thread

Well I've been on here for awhile and never really put up good pictures of my car and parts list, so I thought, what the heck I just got me a new DSLR camera so I might as well start using it .

Here's a little list of my mods so far.

Exterior:
CF front lip
CF trunk lid
CF roof spoiler
Euro impact strips
debadged
Yakima bike rack (not really a mod)
flat hood emblem
projector headlights
HID headlights and fog lights (6k)
CLS 500 Wheels - fronts: 18x8.5 (3mm spacer) 225/40/18 PZero Nero rears: 18x9.5 255/35/18 PZero Nero

Interior:
aux kit
ice blue bulbs for accessory lights
Eclipse 12" and amp

Performance/Suspension:
K&N drop in filters
Stoptech SS brake lines
Akebono pads
TEIN basic coilovers

Future mods:
Magnaflow muffler with 911 tips
F&R sway bars
Full sound system upgrade
New wheels (Work Wheels or Volks)
BBK

Here's some pics of mine and my friends cars

















P.S. if you live in the DFW area hit me up if you need any paint and bodywork done.

Thanks! Everyone likes the roof rack on the car lol... I took it off once when I had it at the shop and it looked naked without it haha guess I'm just used of seeing it with it on.

He's had his civic forever, think thats like his 5th set of wheels now. He's about to turbo it, I cant wait for it.

I got mine at Sun Ski and Sport, they had a 40% discount sale going on around tax return time. Plus I had a coupon for off the total so I got it all for around 325 which isnt bad, thats the whole rack, lock keys, and the two bike holders.

I rolled the rear fenders at first and did the fronts when I got my coilovers just for precaution but it wasn't needed. But it all depends on your wheel offset in the rear if it'll rub or not. I have +33 in the rear and it only rubs if I go over a big dip on the highway, but its just rubbing the fender lining. If you got wheels with a +35 offset I dont think you'll rub at all. Hope that helps.

I'll be getting 17x8.5 +30 fr and 17x9.5 rr +30 here in the next month once the guy ships them off. for tires i'll be running 225/45/17 and 255/40/17.

Here are my next wheels and a side view of my car. Raised the rear a little bit, felt like the stance was off looking at it.

Teins are a nice comfortable ride they aren't too stiff and soft enough to handle daily driving conditions.

Yea I can't wait to put the wheels on! It'll have to be after Christmas probably till I get them on.

Thanks... I'm running Tein basics, got a good deal on them from a member on here. Anytime you lower your car or do anything to suspension, you should get an alignment IMO. Camber on mine wasn't too bad, rears camber are just a little bit negative and the fronts are still OEM spec.
