Brand New Member. Introducing my red EK hatch =D

[jtran1993]

hey there everyone, im new to clubcivic so hope the criticism isn't too harsh!
im introducing to u my 1999 civic cx that i bought UNmolested and bone stock with 143k which is difficult to find in my area. the engine bay is all stock parts.
im a student and dont have much cash in the bank! so im just focusing a bit on just making my exterior look a bit decent for now until i can afford to work on performance.

-ctr red stitch boot
-replica type-r knob
-aftermarket deck
-ctr DIY painted grille
-yellow fog lights
-restored handles, trimmings, sideskirts to OEM black since they were very worn and faded

im waiting to pick up an injen intake from my cousin that he has laying around.
also picked up a set of rims from a friend for FREE, waiting on new tires for those.

also, ive browsed often through these forums and noticed alot of DIY rattle-can work.
thats wat i did for my ctr grille and i also applied a clearcoat. but wat am i missing that i have a unshiny non-smooth finishing?? u can see a close-up of my front and notice a difference.

Needs a front lip, drop, and some wheels .

Great platform to start off with!

the hub caps are beastly fo sho, but slam that b***h

Not too bad. Did u properly prep the area for paint before spraying?

Could be that u got dust or too much over spray in the paint and when u cleared it it got bumpy.

I would wetsand it down and hit it with two more coats and then wetsand it and then clear and wetsand again! Don't forget to buff it out afterwards!

Nice. Needs a lip kit though.

 

[ReedMann]

Nice car man, just like mine.

 

[civic209]

Needs more naked chicks posing inside but other than that looks great
Red wouldve been my next choice if there were no black ones for sale.
