Looks like he needs the driver side fog bezel. I like that color man. What is it exactly?
You should make some type of plug for the hood and paint it orange as well..

Btw. that's pretty damned good for a camera phone.. The first three leave something to be desired, but the last couple pics look damned good for a phone..

yes he correct, during the bodywork and paint process i lost a few things
i lost the washer nozzles and the driverside foglight cover , i still have the leftside but i took bothe em off, and yea im in love wit my new phone, fm radio, mp3, mp4 videos, 2mp camera wit a lotta neat photo options, flashlight , credit card size and it even makes calls, lol

looks nice...plan on getting new rims ?

nah im way to broke for new rims, i was gonna get some seats too, but the money ran out too quick. im going to get rid of all the curb rashs and paint them, i was think either a shiny silver or black wit a red lip (volk wannabe). i really havent decided, i first need to find some H centercaps


heres some more pics from today

before

after

oem red dc5 badges are on theyre way

and for those who liked the guages all i did was add a computer light catheode (<-how ever u spell that) and wired it to the dimmer to turn off or lower when the 5-0 is passing by, i open the guages and got flouracent paint (i bought it a micheals, it was kid hallowwen pack and had about 6 diff colors for less then $5) and painted the needles. here the end result.

p.s u can hide the light tube and not make it obivious with the dimmer, but i like it bright

really dig the new paint and you did a good job on the body damage. Gauges are ok, i think it would look a little better if that bulb was recessed

 

[Partizan]

Those rims are nice, keep em.

That's a pretty neat idea with the glow gauges... never really thought of that before... car looks clean.

its basically how glow needles works, i was planning on buying some and on the store webpage i saw the install instructions and noticed all it was florecent needles and small uv light for $80. i attempted some dyi smoked sidemarkers today but failed to get the sidemarker open wit a heat gun (i think it might be all one piece) some ima get some hobbie car tint paint and do that cuz the sidemarkers arent that notice in the day being orange on orange
i was just gonna paint the inside black like so

 

[purplecivic_va]

i had those rims too when i had my del sol 2 years ago , i paint them black .

 

[Eran]

Wow..... not quite sure what to say. Keep doing your own thing, I guess

paint makes up for the old school rims, looks good!

 

[Suanico]

the paint came out nice, but im not down with those rims, the missing fog light inserts, the painted grille and bumper inserts, or the painted space between windows, but your paint is sweet, interior looks sweet, lips, exhaust and everything else looks good

the paint on the grill, bumper and window were intentional i like the unified look and, i know the grill looks outta place now but i think with the badges itll look better. the window pillars i havent really seen painted on civic before so i thought i try something new, and i liked the turn out they call out more attention to the paint agianst the black

Bad idea with the roof.
