This is a re-posting as my other account was deleted because of an altercation with spam. I bought this about 2 months ago. It's a 1995 Honda Civic EX coupe. It has the rare paradise factory-shipped color. It's completely stock as I'm typing this. Except for aftermarket TSW rims, new exhaust sytem(OEM, I know, I didn't think of getting a performance one put on), and a Pioneer deck w/ a 10" 10-year old house sub in the trunk. A fellow CC member and I are thinking the front is lowered about .5".

You can notice the Honda rot above the rear left panel.

The exhaust in this picture is the old one. The cat fell off from the whole system being rusty. So I needed it replaced.

I bought a new K&N air filter, new spark plugs, SuperClean for cleaning my engine, and LEDs for my interior and trunk. I will update the engine picture when I have the filter and spark plugs on, along with the cleaned engine.

how is that a rare color?

needs some tlc, and im pretty sure no one would drop the front half an inch...

 

[WalkingComplex]

well since people keep telling me that they've never seen the color and I've only seen it on two other civics, I think it's rare. It does need some tlc but I don't have much money. I'm just saying that's what we think it is. It looks lowered and we did a knuckle check between my 95' EX and his 94' LX.

 

[mymmeryloss]

ex has different height than an lx stock i believe..

 

[mahalo]

lol knuckle check. lift it up and look but i doubt it

 

[WalkingComplex]

You do know what I meant by knuckle-check right? I don't have the tools to lift it up.

hey i have the same car 95 ex in paradise green except 5 speed, nice to see another one , i havnt seen many either

 

[J_Uhrig87]

so i'll suggest what I did on your other post. drop it on some tein s-techs, get some amber corners, and your set. I'm still working on stealing my wife's camera so I can take a pic of my amber corners on that color.
looks good though man.

 

[somejaykid]

Update: all mods are currently on hold as I now won't have money for awhile.

 

[nyjprice]

Dam sorry to hear that how long will it be ???

 

[WalkingComplex]

idk, my aunt is getting script about paying her back for the exhaust system.

 

[WalkingComplex]

UPDATE: I'm thinking of smoking my lights.

 

[AllStockHatch]

Very common color from what I've seen, must be a regional thing. I'd leave the tails, they look good.

 

[WalkingComplex]

i was looking at them lit up last night and the bulbs look worn out. i figured since ill be changing them, might as well do some mod.

 

[nyjprice]

Smoke tail lights look gd on white or blk civic you could try it on yours but you may not like it if I was you just save up for that rust fix once you do that your civic will look better as far as looks go all u really gota do is fix rust and lower tha back cuz u said front is lower already

 

[WalkingComplex]

how would I fix the rust? I don't have the money to get it fixed in a shop, and won't have any real amount of money for awhile.

 

[mymmeryloss]

if u dont have the money to do it right, i would suggest not messing with it until u have a little coin to play with..

 

[WalkingComplex]

exactly, that's why I'm trying to fix other problems and make it look somewhat better.

 

[94 civic ex]
