*UPDATE* 04-03-2011

License plate relocated to dash. That bulky plastice thing it screws onto just looked really tacky in my opinion. Also finally got my Honda badge put on the front.

Thanks man, as for the lights I'm still on the fance about it. I might look up some pics of it to help me decide.

Lol they are just some off-brand dropzones. They look good though and ride quality (with stock shocks) really hasn't changed significantly. They were on sale too so with my limited budget I had to hop on the offer.

0.0 another arab here? I think I like this place:rock:

Good start and nice drop...your running stock struts?

Yeah still stock struts. Just new springs. For $150 shipping included, it was too good of a deal to pass up. Won't lie ride quality isn't as good as stock, but i'm not bouncin' all over the road either.

Re: Frisky Arab's 2000 Coupe EX(56k)

Belive me if i could've afforded a full coilover set I would've done it. When I first got the car there was a little bit of damage done to it so of course money was spent on the NEEDS first.(no frame damage though. I didn't want a salvage title.) After buying needed parts and putting **** together in my uncle's shop I wasn't exactally rolling in cash as i'm sure you can assume:/ Thanks for compliments btw. I try to take as good care of it as I can
