My first car was a 2008 Infiniti G35x, which I bought back when I was 18. I had a lot of fun with that car, but I knew I had to move on eventually. I made the hard decision to sell my Infiniti as I was transferring from a community college to a 4-year university, and I needed a reliable daily driver to commute with. Not only did I need a car that was more economical, but also needed it to match my style; sleek, stands out, and a strong modifying potential. Ultimately, I decided I wanted an 11th gen Civic in Rallye Red. It was a new platform, looked clean, and I knew I could have the first modified 11th gen Civic in my area. I began modifying the Civic because I often took my G35 out to local car meets despite not really having anything done to it. Going to the car meets gave me tons of inspiration and made me really want to go all-in on a build of my own. I love how simple it’s been to modify, along with the 11th gen community truly being helpful in any way.

My favorite modification is undoubtedly my 18x9.5 Work Kiwamis finished in gloss white. I love the aggressive stance and how well they stick out on the red car. They have been my dream wheels for quite some time, so I knew the Civic needed to have them. As for the next modification, I'm looking to get a KTuner V2 along with some engine bay dress up parts. I know that Two Step Performance will take good care of me with those! So far, I have installed every modification done on the car with the help of my dad and my friends. My favorite memory with the car has to be making the trip out to Epping, New Hampshire for H-Day Summer 2024. It was so awesome seeing like-minded Honda Enthusiasts and being able to show off my car. Overall, this car has been great for me, but the one setback I have is wanting to make more power but being unable to do so due to the motor and transmission.
