    i have my City 2005 vtec and i want to turn it into a sport look car, any idea naman mga sir, nagstart na ko with windshield decals (MUGEN) nahirapan pa ko kasi wala ako idea sa mga car decals, anu pa ba? baka maikabit ko na decals ay conflict or exclusive sa other brand ng auto, next plan ko open muffler. un pa lang naiisip ko, any idea pa sir or pakipost ng photo para mavisualized agad. maraming salamat.

    be careful. there is a fine line between looking rice and looking nice.

    its an econo car so useless to make it look like a sports car imho.

    but, if i were you TS, i would remove the mugen decal, get a nice set of 16" mags, drop the car a little, debadge the whole car and have it detailed. other than that, do an IHE upgrade. keeping it simple and clean is much more appealing imho. also, please dont get the fart can muffler. its disgusting and sounds so wrong.

    16-17" rims, ducktail.

    Remove decal.

    Call it a day and save your money. No real need to drop anyway. Lalo kung mabahain lugar nyo.

    Plus if u want a muffler, get a chambered one para tahimik.

    agree too on 16 - 17''s Mags, (take a good pick kung anong pinakamasbabagay na kulay at magbibigay ng proportion dun sa design nung body ng honda city mo, Wheel Collection - ROTA Wheels) ducktail spoiler, remove stickers/decals in the windshield..and just maintain it into a simple and clean look.

    ..if you want your car to be real sporty not just on looks, have it installed performance upgrades...ram intakes/cold air intakes, headers, unichip piggyback computer

    tanggalin mo na lahat ng borloloy dyan. clean look mas maganda. kesa puro decals lang na wala namang nakakabit talaga.

    tama sila. there is a fine line between rice and nice.

    It will be considered "ricey" if your car has a MUGEN sticker yet it does not have a single MUGEN part installed on it. It would be better to just remove it to have the clean look.

    Mods suggested:
    15 to 16 inch wheels (with tasteful design)
    lowering springs
    remove all car decals and badges (ultra clean look)
    "smoked" headlights

    17s are too large for that model City. 16s would suffice. Maybe Watanabe wheels will look good on it. Some lowering. Remove that MUGEN decal cause it has no place in that car or in any other honda. the sticker itself is so baduy. then change your tints to a better shade, and have your car detailed. Less is More.

    Wheel option... you can look for JDM or USDM Civic wheels. Modified "stock" look.

    Gawin mo na lang kung anong gusto mo at kaya ng budget, basta masaya ka at nagagandahan ka ok na yun. pero kung wala ka ng maisip, keep it stock na lang.

    salamat sa mga suggestions, actually first car ko kasi GSR sporty kasi talaga sya. 3 months saken pero pinalitan ko kaagad ng medyo modelo ng konte since luma na yung GSR dami irerepair para marestore ko sya (under chassis, suspension etc). eto namang pinalit ko sabi ng iba pang opisina ang dating hehehe kaya napaisip ako na medyo imodify kahit looks lang... performance? satisfied naman ako sa 1.5vtec engine nya, matipid compare sa GSR ko before. ayoko din sana imodify yung engine kasi alam ko tuloy tuloy na kapag nasimulan ko yan at yun ang magastos, ganyan kasi ako sa modification ng motorcycle ko nung wala pa ko auto. maganda rin nga ata ang spoiler sa city wag lang mataas, ang alam ko kasi pang Rear Wheel Drive na auto yun. 15" stock mags ko, totoo bang matagtag ang 17" na mags? di ba masagwang tingnan kapag 17"mags tapos standard height pa rin kasi marami humps dito sa lugar namin not adviseable ang lowered. medyo nawalan na nga ako ng gana sa mga sports decals hehehe, what about sound set up and HID? euro plate (Baduy ba)?

    1. Kaya ducktail at huwag spoiler.
    2. Matagtag talaga ang 17" mags kumpara sa stock, kasi sa 15" rims, mas makapal yung goma.
    3. Hindi naman ata masagwa kapag low profile tapos stock height/hindi lowered.
    4. Sound setup, ikaw naman bahala kung nakaka-appreciate ka ng ganiyan. Yung mga ibang tao naman, walang paki sa sounds, di na pinapalitan yung stock setup. Or bili ka nalang ng ibang head unit para may USB/ipod in ka.
    5. HID - either go projectors (~php10k+) or stay with halogen. Nakakasilaw yung mga plug and play na HID sa mga nakakasalubong mo sa daan, tapos sabog pa yung buga ng HID na hindi projectors. Suggestion nalang is to get higher output halogen na mas maputi ng konte vs stock. (philips xtremevision/osram nightbreaker plus)
    6. Euro plate, baduy lalo kung hindi binebenta yung modelo ng kotse sa europe or econo car lang.

    may mga econo car din naman sa europe,
    ae92, ae101, ae111 for example, econobox lang pero may euro version.

    *TS
    your car, your design,
    kahit anong gawin mo dyan, kahit magandang maganda pa sa paningin ng iba,
    meron at merong tao dyan na magsasabi na hindi na gusto taste mo, thats life.

    you modify your car to please YOU, not to please OTHERS.

    sa akin lang naman..

    post some pics if na-setup mo na, goodluck sir!

    Yep, but logically speaking - would someone really go out of their way to import those vehicles here to the PH?

    Yan naman yung original underlying principle ng euro plates diba? - (aside from the fact that it looks different) there is the connotation of you importing the car from a different country...

    yes, for me pimping your ride is more of self satisfaction.
