Summer Mods

[cgpEJ6]

I wasn't able to do very much with my car this summer due to travel and a tight budget but the couple parts I did pick up I am very pleased with. There are only a couple pics because my car isn't worthy of a full photoshoot right now but here are my new parts at least.

New Parts

EM1 cruise control button
EM1 gauge cluster
CTR gauge bezel
OEM front ashtray
OEM Honda Domani trunk lid (awaiting paint)

Like I said, the car is not in top form right now and needs some love. Opinions and constructive criticism are welcome and encouraged. Thanks.









I am going to take the trunk lid off today, I just put it on temporarily to see how it fit and look. Soon I will get it painted as well as my stock side skirts and put them back on. Soon I will be looking for a new front and rear lip as well as fenders, side mirrors, and side moldings so the car should be going through a pretty drastic transformation.

not bad bro...!

I like what you have done with it so far.

Is it auto or manual?
If it's manual you should get a new shify knob .. otherwise clean interior!
Do they sell the gauge bezel for 92-95 civics.. if so where?

It's automatic (for now.) I just have a CTR shift boot on there because it was cheap and looked better than the automatic gear shift with the letters that didn't light up half of the time. I'm not sure if they have the faux carbon bezel for 5th gens or not, I don't think so though.

love the trunk lid, cant wait to see that painted! any reason why you got a em1 cruise control button? if it was just to match the amber lighting with the cluster, you can just swap out the bulb no?

It was just for the amber lighting but I plan on going with a black interior anyways. I didn't go looking for it or anything I just kind of came across it so I used it.

I got it for $150 shipped, I was really lucky.

It's from a Honda Domani which is basically a four door Civic with a different front end, trunk, bumpers, and interior. The Domani is sold in Japan, They also sell it as an Acura EL in Canada and an Isuzu Gemini in some places. I know there was a 7th gen version of the EL and an 8th gen version now too called a CSX in Canada but I don't know if the Domani or Gemini made it past 2000.

Cool man, thanks for the schooling.. Car looks great! what did you do w/the B/C front?

 

[cgpEJ6]

what did you do w/the B/C front?

The front bumper is still in my garage. I repaired all of the cracks, holes and battle scars with fiberglass and have done some sanding on it. I have body filler for it because there are still a lot of areas that are uneven from where it was repaired. It's kind of been an ongoing project, an hour here, an hour there. I really want to get it looking like new again and putting a nice grill in it. My dad can get this stuff from his work that is just like a mesh grill except it's stainless steel and a lot more solid than that wire stuff. So anyways once it's done I'll probably paint it and use it for a little bit then give it to a friend. It's coming along slowly but surely. I'm not a body man by any means so it's been an ongoing learning experience. I promise you it will be resurrected though. I might actually get it painted with the trunk lid, we'll see.

Progress is good.

Nice ride bro.

 

[cgpEJ6]

thanks a lot.

so lemme see, you changed the cluster and covered the automatic shifter consol...i hope you drive all day in "2," and what the heck is the difference between your old cruise control button and an em1? the color? looks worse

I changed the cluster because my fuel gauge was broken and I got an Si cluster for $40. If you can't remember that D4 is 3 gears down from park and right below neutral then you are a dumbass, not to mention you have to push the button on the shifter to get into 2. As far as the cruise button goes I had almost a complete dark grey dash but decided to go back to tan. My stock cruise button was peeling on the front and this one lit up amber so I kept it in there.
