- Start date
Thanks man. I am a fan of some domestics to so I don't hate on different cars. I hate on stupid owners or fan boys. I use to rock a body kit on my last coupe for a while. It was an expensive $1000 kit. It looked good. But I just got tired of the extra weight and wanted to concentrate more on the motor. My bumpers are OEM with a lip.wow, now if only everyone were like you, we wouldn't have so much rice out thereyaya for my first post lol, love the clean look, thats what I'm shooting for with my 2 week old civic. So nice not toown a domestic anymore
I picked up a 99 civic ex PS pump at the junk yard the other day along with cruise control unit. HELL YEAH. I miss cruise control. Was going to get all the AC stuff to but not sure it will work with my turbo manifold. So I didn't worry about it.
yeah for car being painted finally. Picking it up tonight after work.
Still waiting for the bolt on pieces to be painted like front bumper, lip, grill, spoiler.
Pics will be up when I get a chance.

Crappy Cell phone pic until I get the car home, put back together and a camera with me.
looks good from wat i can see...no rear lip?
No, no rear lip
Would look phat with one on. Plus I would like to do a cf hood.
But it's the dd and will be for sale after I drive it around for a few weeks. Saving money for another project.
I must say the paint is HOT. Up close you can see the flake in the sunlight and it's very nice. My painter did a great job.
I also put his hatch back together from motor swap to putting the interior back in. I need to take pics of his car as well. His has a custom paint job on it to.
So I decided to switch motors again and now have in the garage a ls swap.
I still have the turbo kit to but on it
Pics will follow soon.

I know, I know. The camera I have the flash broke. But a new one should be here today. The car is painted, the motor is in, got yet another set of wheels on the car. She is about 85% done. Need to run some IC piping, mount the intercooler, install front bumper.
Hopefully will have pics tomorrow.

Nice car. Seems like you started out kinda like I did. I wouldn't mold the lip on though, first time you hit something then you have a mess. I'm not a fan on how you did the tail lights, but if you like it then it's all good.
wow that car has come along way
good job man
good job man
I def. need to get pics asap.
The car doesn't look anything like it did in the first pics nor my lastest pics.
It's all one color, different rims.
You guys deserve a few updated pics.
sounds good to me
Bring em on dude!
Took a few pics in the garage this morning.
Tried to get a close up of the color
Front bumper, need to add the sliver trim pieces around the fog lights.
IC piping ready to install.

I'd rather find a set of honda center caps but either way I like the center caps better then without. Don't want to show off an axle nut.
