EJ7 Daily Driver! Clean?!

[98ej7HX]

This is my EJ7, has the stock y5 and a s***ty bay sorry no 2000 front end yet!
let me know what you guys think please!

swap/turbo, wire tuck and a clean bay are coming up! and a better exhaust and painted skirts/type r lip -_-

Lol at that signature pic. Lose those tails, get OEM Si tails, and it'll look nice!!

A lot of us are big OEM fans. I dunno, I just don't feel those tails much.

In the end its your car. Personally I would have tinted the hole light not just the bottom half.

Otherwise looking good. I suggest paint matching the side skirts n lip or add an unpainted lip to rear to even things out. Either way in my eye you can't go wrong

Definitely planning on paint matching everything! Maybe new paint all together since there are dings in a couple places! Was thinking teal or a dark purple color, and then I would have to get stance wheels to go with it. Only reason I didn't paint the entire lights was because I didn't want to get a humongous fine when some idiot rear ends me and blames it on my tails haha

Looks good agree with the tails but other than that looks cool bro

yeah everythign looks gud beside the tails, i get you doing the black and red theme it just doesnt flow right with the tail lights. i reccomend getting oem red clear or get the oem orange and red out the orange part. like this http://www.clubcivic.com/board/modules/featured/images/bowflex21-6.jpg

Too many replicas for me. Reps need some good attention to detail to get pulled off nicely.

What swap and turbo setup are you planning on?

 

[hondamaster719]

Paint you side moldings red instead of OEM black. Lose the tails and that's a clean ride.

 

[98ej7HX]

CHILD hey I hear you about the reps. I'm just a poor college kid haha gotta start somewhere. When summer comes around I'll get some real wheels and some TLC.

Planning on a b20 with vitaras and eagle rods... haven't decided on the turbo yet. Still saving up money. So far I have about 2,000$ saved for the car. I love your hatch, after I saw it on youtube a long time ago, that's part of the reason I started working on mine and made an account here.

96-98 front owns 99-00.

Nice start.

 

[98ej7HX]

Nice start.

this i love my 98 front end. i rock it 98 front end 50/50 tails.
good start on the car though glad to see your saving money and planning it out

Woot another HX! Lose the tails, paint match the trim and door handle, and it should look alot cleaner.

 

[98ej7HX]

Definitely planning on paint matching the second summer comes around, and I'll lose the tails too! Just have to find some nice OEM tails, not ebay stuff. same with the lips, planning on going as original as possible, definitely not a 40$ urethane lip.

i like your hx, probably the first time i have seen red rotas on a red civic and it doesnt look to bad. i say save the money from the swap and just use it to turbo the d16y5 like i did, check out my turbo build in my sig

 

[203CT]

car looks like its off to a good start man. as said paint match everything and if you can afford real parts go for it. I also rock the 96-98 front end and I like it but i may go 99-00 in the future but we'll see

 

[98ej7HX]

Hey thanks guys, I'll definitely boosting the little y5 I can't afford real parts right now, seeing as how i'm trying to save for the swap or turbo setup, whichever I decide on, but eventualy, I'll get there! Car is just chilling with 4x4 status for now until winter's over.
