Here are some pics of my freshly dealership cleaned 03 LX after my recall fix :) I figured I would get some decent pix before the snow storm moved in and buried it and made it dirty again! Nothing too special, but its all me. nothing too flashy. Mods include, Eibach pro kit, custom cat back 2.5" exhaust, umm...corksport glow gauges, satellite radio, newly purchased (from 99 pro, thanxs man!) carbon fiber tails. and I believe it is a Lund spoiler, the kind u see on a lot of late model civics. Ithink it fits the car perfectly. Let me know what u guys think.

Where did you get those seat covers? Those would match my interior perfectly!

Your car is very nice too by the way. Very clean and subtle, subtle is good. nice color and rim choice
 
Kinda lost on who you guys are asking the questions too. If they are to me, please let me know. Not on here often, Army and my son have me tired all the time.

I was asking about the seats, are they stock or did you put them in? I would consider looking for these to replace mine as they match the interior well.
 
Car looks good Buck! Glad you like the carbon fibre taillights. Are you planning on doing anything else to it (ie: rims, drop, MS lip kit)?

I would also like to know about your seats joker1977. Those look great on your car. Where did you get them from?

Well I already have an Eibach Pro kit on it. Rims will come eventually, but I'm not sure if those will come first or a body kit. I would love to put an MSP front bumper on it with some skirts on the back and sides. I would also love to have some Tokico HPs to put on it. But as of right now I'm kinda shy on money for that kind of stuff. I'm hoping do to some of this stuff this summer when I'm making better money.

What leather interior is that? Katzkin? I have the same interior (and exterior for that matter).
Car looks nice, you too Buck.

Do you have those seats as well? I would love to have those. They match perfectly with the grey dash and look so much better than what I have. Were they factory options on LX's? They would really set off my plain looking interior. And since this is a picture thread:

Thanks for the compliments on the interior, but no, they werent stock options. They came from a company in canada, dont know how much they will charge now for them. But when I did get them it was for a group buy on one of the Protege clubs I'm with. The two tone leather, with the embroidery cost me $700.00, and since I wanted to make sure they were put on correctly, with no loose ends I paid to have them installed. Wasnt that expensive, but it wasnt cheap either, all together it came out to $1100.

So in all I have done the
1. Leather interior
2. Tokico Hp struts
3. Tein Springs
4. 18" rims, with 215/35/18 Falken tires
5. sound system, 2 12" Fosgate P3's, 3 Kenwood amps, 2 sets of component speakers. One set to replace the front factory, and I removed the second set from the rear deck and put in the second set of components in the rear doors, with the tweeters on the rear deck. The head unit is also a Kenwood
6. Alteeza tails
7. Optima yellow top battery.

Goal is to just once put it in a show, just to see where I place. Have three more things I want to do and then I think I will be content.

1. Shaved door handles
2. PS2 (slim) glove box, with two visor monitors and screens on the headrest
3. Intake and exhaust

Well all in all I hope ya like what I have done so far, and if the time ever comes, for your best wishes if I ever do decide to put it in a show.

IMO money well spent! I am sooo jealous of your seats right now! (glare)
