New to this forum.......but

[96greencivic]

not new to Honda message boards. I usually surf Honda-Acura.net

I hope I can meet some great new Civic owners here. I have a 96 Civic Ex coupe. I bought it used about 2 yrs ago and I really love it. It is my first Honda and now I will never buy anything else.

Here are some pics, comments welcome!

My Red/Clears

Gunmetal headlamps

My finish after 5hrs of detailing (claybar/ glaze/ wax etc)

My Injen SRI

Me in FL this year. They ran out of Celicas. Although driving a Mustang was different.

That is all for now.
Here is a list of mods:
Injen SRI
Gunmetal headlamps running blue/ white bulbs (going HID for Xmas)
Red/clear tails
DIY body color OEM skirts
Mugen center grill w/ black mesh inserts ( I just did that)
Kenwood ExCelon X459 HU
16 " Gunmetal w/ polished lip Maxxim Harpoons on Toyo Proxes 205/45 tires.

This is my work in progress. I still have to drop her and save up for some boost!8)

welcome 96greencivic. if u need a place to host images, try www.uploadit.org - it's free, they allow direct remote linking, and from what i've learnt, they don't have a recycling time. images uploaded stay on the server indefinately. they're planning on offering a subscriber service where paying members are allowed to delete uploaded images. www.uploadit.org - it works f'n awesome

that looks like cgp to me as well. when really polished and under nice lighting, the green loses some of it's depth and becomes a giant mirror.

my cgp:

damn that looks good man. my cpg civic doesnt look anywhere near as good as yours. maybe one day i will have the patients to do seomthing like that.

 

[anfrey]

u have a cgp too? u should sign in at the CGP thread i made in the lounge... tryin' to build the cgp crew ya know

check out my other pics.. http://ej8.anfrey.com/
i used to detail her every weekend. not any more since i'm overseas :/

NB: in the pics, those that look grainy are because they were shot indoors (underground garage) with ASA400 film. just look at the shine/reflection, not the grains

 

[anfrey]

shot this while at the drive-thru atm...

sorry to whore my car on ur thread 96greencivic, but i'm sure you'll agree with me that CGP is amazing f'n paint

 

[96greencivic]

yeah, at first i didn't like my green, but i do now. There arent too many modded green ones around. That was a little older pic about 1month ago. I since added the mugen grill, just haven't taken pics. I figure sometime after I turbo or SC, I'll give her a nice new coat of green to cover up the imperfections on the hood, roof and trunk lid. Overall her finish is great. Clay bar rules!

 

[Rick James]

dont steal bandwith. thats bad lol

 

[96greencivic]

another pic of my finish

here is another pic of my finish.
Oh, I'm sure I'll be dropping my 4X4 after winter. I don't want to lower her just before any snow.
