2000 Civic HX

[Malfa]

I'm new, obviously, but hellooo!
This is what I have so far... and sorry for the camera phone pictures!
I have a whole new stereo system btw..I just didn't take interior pictures.


My future plans are:
De-badge - soon
New exhaust (ideas please???) - soon
New grill
I was thinking about CTR headlights but I don't think I will go that route..
HIDS
That's all I can think of right now..




27k miles

sweet ride!!!!lovin' those rims

 

[Malfa]

Thanks man! Appreciate it.

This is my first car, so I'm not trying to go overboard or anything. I want the clean look. I also want to learn how to work on cars myself etc..

 

[Black99Si]

looks good IMO ! good start

does it really only have 27,000 miles? thats awesome! where are your stock rims?

 

[Malfa]

^^thanks!!



Yes it really does!
I got it from my grandma who drove very little...
Kept it in PERFECT condition, and I'm a very clean person also so I keep this thing spotless.

I gave my stocks to my friend that builds cars etc. He is the one that pretty much did the labor on my car and it was part of a payment..

boo i wanted them

 

[Malfa]

Yeah I was trying to keep them. But he wanted to powdercoat them and use them for a hatch he is currently building. He's a good friend so it's okay..

I don't really like the sound of it to be honest though..

 

[Genuine Rolla]

holy clean headlights
looks good. keep the stock grille or get an si one but keep the H in the middle

Damn that's nice. Congratulations! I envy you, wish I could get a 2000 Civic with only 27k miles. Again, very nice, paint job looks immaculate.

Yeah the SI grille was the one I had in mind. W/o the H though.





Thank you to all of you though


Cheap wax goes a long way I suppose since I have gotten so many comment on the paint. It has lots of scratches all around though that hopefully I can buff out this summer. I am going to get in to claybar, idk if that takes out scratches though..

 

[Silver Bullet]

throw some foggies on it

 

[Malfa]

Yeah some other people have been telling me to do that also.
I may...
Not sure exactly what that would entail doing...

 

[victor.m]

Got a Mother's claybar kit with the showtime detailer and carnuba cleaner wax and used some Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 afterwards and got some GREAT results on my EJ1. Definitely works wonders, really looks like I have a whole new paintjob!

Again, congrats on the car, def. a very worthy hand-me-down.

 

[Malfa]

I'll keep that in mind. I definitely will do it this summer. I have no time now to get in to that heavy type stuff. But thank you

 

[victor.m]

Well actually it took me around 6 hours to do with a friend and we hadn't really done much like it before (well, he had done some waxing and whatnot, but nothing to this extent.) It's a really simple proccess if you have a day of your weekend to throw away and a friend to help you out if you need any tips just let me know
