I bought an (overpriced ) '99 Civic EX four or five weeks ago, and now I'm wondering what I should do to it. Heh. Sounds kinda dirty :naughty: . Anywho, I was thinking as far as looks go, white rims, black or DARK grey paint, Ehm...White/Off white leather seats with same-color-as-paint trim, and hmm yeah. I'd really like suggestions on whatever I should do with the car b/c I honestly don't know that much about them. Thank you.

I can tell you from experience, White rims, and ESPECIALLY white interior is hard to keep clean. If you want pics to prove that I had a white interior, let me know. I had it for about 2 years, and hated it. It was a pain to keep clean, and ALWAYS looked dirty. Change your oil, go to open the door, you're screwed! WHITE=BAD!!!! I'd suggest just reading the boards, lurking for a while, seeing what you like, and go from there.

yeah, we can't tell you what to do to your car. but i can tell you that i would never want white interior (unless it was on a sky blue '64 impala). can we also don't know which direction you want to go with your car....show....go....rice...so it's all different. i'd say build a nice sleeper. basically stock exterior, bad ass engine. but it's your car.

Why don't you just leave your interior as is?

White seats and exterior color matching trim for the interior = RICE X 134341341431

Do whatever will made u proud to own the car. My 94 DX Coupe is the diamond in my eye. I love my car. Busted my ass to get the thing i have with a single income and a family. Mines a little ricey, sleeper, etc. Get my drift. Be original. If we all drove around with the same design or image, what would be the fun of that.

Not to bash on everyone, just my $.02

I think the white rims would look good. I am also looking into white rims myself, although I have a white car. I would listen to what everyone has said before you make any adjustments. Figure out what you end goal is and then start working towards it. Good Luck.

white rims look sweet... as for the interior, white will look nasty when it's dirty plus you'll look like a boat
