damn man... nice ride love the interior with the relocated gauges.
My GReddy Civic Coupe 1.6iLS (2000)
- Thread starter ahoffman
- Start date
Thanks for the nice reactions.
I think the Altezza rear lights don't look too bad, but I rather have the original lights. They were as I think the SI tail lights, jus red above and white below.
And as lanojp1 said, "need to get ride of that molding on the doors", the black things on the door like the door handles, the protection strip are already painted now. Not on the pics though. Also the black things on the hood and the thing on the roof by the antenna is painted silver grey metallic now.
When the bodykit is completed I will post some recent pics. Hope soon, but it takes forever now.... I ordered the Wings West rear bumper, skirts and wing in Juli. Also I ordered the Bomex Aero front bumper in Juli, that's already mounted now.
edit:
Also the reason why I would remove the Altezza's is because it's of the brand "AutoStyle". That brand sucks. I mounted electric M3 mirrors on my previous 6th gen Civic hatch (1.5 vtec-e) of this brand. The quality is not that good.

That's beautiful! Man I love the gauge location too.
Everyone is gonna' bag on the 'tezzas though and it's a shame. You got enough going for you to ignore the tails

i don't understand how in you'r first posts you were talking about putting that kit on or what ever, then you post now with pics of the kit on and you say that you have had it on for 2 months. did i mis read somthing?Originally posted by ahoffman
Front bumper is mounted about 2 months ago:
Picture quality is not that good, but...
nice car, love the setup, id go with the oem si taillights too, and as far as the body moldings go i say shave it all, handles, moldings, emblems, everything. oh and by the way the ac relocation kicks a$$.
Hey man, is ur interior painted or a 3m stick on?
Only the front bumper was already mounted before I started this topic. But I've found the pics of it. So that's why I posted them now. The rear bumper is just mounted.
The middle of the interiour (where the radio is) is painted with the color of the piping from the Turbo kit which is about the same of the car. The other smaller interiour parts are Woodec parts, this is stick on material, I am thinking of removing that and also paint those parts.
I didn't dyno the car yet. Costs a lost. They calculated the horses and I have had some "races" vs a 5th and 6th gen Civic VTI. My car has about 160 BHP. And it's faster than a (standard) VTI (or SI in the US).
Now it's waiting to rebuild the engine, so the pressure can be higher. Than I will have about 270 BHP.

looks good man
I like the relocation of the climate control and swapping in the gauges. nice 
Thanks all.
Well, Finally the Wings West skirts and the Wings West wing should be shipped in soon. I am waiting for those parts from July last year!
And yes, the Altezza taillights are a very hot item in europe. I live in the Netherlands, and Altezza's are definately a hot item here. But I rather would have the stock tail lights (like SI). But the previous owner sold those.

NICE! Personally I like the altezzas, I don't know why everyone hates them? Nice car though.
