I always wondered how my car would look with those taillights and I like them. But I think I'm going to go with the ES tails. Are you on springs tho? Anyways I love it..really cleannnnnnnnn

This Guy · Mar 14, 2009, 08:08 AM

nope, i have tein basic coilovers on it. Didn't put it too low so that way i can still take it to the dealer to get maintnence

nc_bboy · Mar 14, 2009, 08:25 AM

Oh ok yeah that makes sense. How do you like the ride with them? Also how much lower do you think you can go on them? My brother has Tein super street coilovers on his civic and it gets a little rough sometimes. I was thinking of megan coilovers.

This Guy · Mar 14, 2009, 08:41 AM

they are set half ways so i guess i still have more to go if i wanted to drop it. Yeah my teins ride rough sometimes too, depends on the road. yeah try the megans, i always hear a lot of good things about those, actually my buddy got some for his gs300, they were the comfort sport type, and it rides exactly like stock, i couldnt believe it and if i would of known i probably would of gotten megans instead!

Oh ok thanks for letting me know. I honestly want to be pretty slammed because I haven't seen a ralliart like that yet. Also I'm going for the clean look, but man your car looks great for an 04. I've seen other 04 ralliarts here and they are abused! lol Yeah I've been hearing a lot of good things about megan coilovers, so I'll definitely go with those. I think they are actually the same price as the tein basics.

Looks good. Now you just need to do something about those stock wheels.

This Guy · Mar 14, 2009, 09:32 AM

yes!, im currently looking around for rims, but also im taking my time so i can find that one set of rims that will set the car off. no black rims for me tho, thats all i see around town is black rims, like its a new trend. They do look good on some cars but at night you cant really see them, but yeah thanks for the comments

BlackRaven · Mar 14, 2009, 11:53 AM

^I totally agree about the black wheels...in motion, a car with black wheels looks like it just has steelies on. Your car looks great!

nc_bboy · Mar 14, 2009, 12:33 PM

Yeah I think some dark bronze or colored matched wheels..maybe with a little polished lip will look great.

I don't think black wheels look all that great on gray, anyways. It's a tough color to match wheels to.

Nice detail.. I am in DESPERATE need of a serious buff/wax.

To whoever was talking about how low basic teins go.. it looks a little something like this.

The fronts are all the way.. and the back has SOME play which I plan to drop sometime this summer. Stock powder coated wheels on a 40 tire, no rubbing.

im getting my car detailed this spring. inside and out. when i moved, my printer left a nasty green ink stain on the rear seat. it comes out easy but wouldnt mind them guys cleaning and scrubbing my car.

TriangleChoke · Mar 16, 2009, 08:42 AM

Very nice, car looks great!

Thats something I will need to do once spring really rolls around. I didn't keep winter mats in my car all the time so got some salt and what not in the carpet. Plus I'm sure the car could use a good buffing!

I think a a dark bronze or GunMetal with polished lip could look good on your car.
