Default First Car!!

Saturday night, I bought my new baby!
Im 18 and I saved 2 years to buy this car. But now I just need to start saving again so I can pay for my insurance and gas :/ hah.

Its an 04 enthusiast I BELIEVE. 109k miles, clean tittle. Has a JWT intake with heat shield, plenum spacer, pioneer double din, some new seats, invidia cat back, lowered on tokico shocks. and has 06 head lights, tail lights and rims - paid $9,300

Future plans : XXR 521, wheel spacers, hatch sub box, Bride seats, nrg wheel with quick release, top secret diffuser, arp wind splitter and an small arp wing

Congrats! Glad to see someone else that worked hard at that age to buy a car they wanted instead of just getting one handed to them.

You will learn alot on this forum, just make sure you research before making a thread that could have been made already and then you will get flamed. Just trying to help you out.

By the way, if you have an Enthusiast, the easiest way to know is that you have cloth seats, TCS, steering wheel controls, and an auto-dimming mirror. It also comes with an LSD but you would only know by putting that thing to use.

Very nice! Decent upgrades and the hood also looks like its from an 07+. Actually from the angle of the photo I would have guessed 2007. Working hard for a car you love, right on!

No need for wheel spacers if you get the right offsets in the first place. $250 for both pairs, that's no chump change if your already struggling for gas.

Those pictures are probably the +25 offsets.

They are also available in +12 as well for even a more aggressive fit.

Congrats man. Looks like the previous owner concentrated on keeping it stock and clean and it shows. Doesn't even look old. I could have easily mistaken it for an 07 or 08 lol

Do your research and do tasteful mods. Don't rice it out please


and... don't cheap out. On anything.

OK, it might be because the tires are a little stretched that it's harder to make out the where the rim stops. Atleast the fronts look stretched.

OP, if you go with a bit wider tires, it's going to make it even more aggressive looking and probably push the tires past the fenders. Although given your age, I'm assuming the stretched hellaflush is what your going for. Atleast that's the new young honda scene wave that's hit us of late. FML (Pardon any prejudice, it's warranted preconceived notions from experience.)
