AWSOME ride - Way to go on the engine being Soooooo Clean, I like the gauges too.
I have all most the exact same ride ( look that is ) I love the Red on black, except I took the red
down the sides too, see my profile.
How do you like the AGX's ?
Did you notice any difference with the fiber hood ??? I drive in a lot of snow in winter and can not
justify a HOOD when it will get chipped and maybe cracked with chunks of road fly'n around.
I went with Tokico's adj and GC coilovers for the auto-Xing - living in PA the roads are not forgiving
on the back streets, besides and a friend was looking into the AGX's and was wondering on the
accessibilty to change the settings from back road racing bumps and dips, to change to Auto Xing..

Thanks...shocks are awesome...i've had em for two years now.

Hood is 14lbs...stock is like 35-40lbs...only difference I feel is when I open/close the hood...mostly cosmetic.

How did you install the side markers.. was it easy.. and did oyu paint the gauge enclosure and vent yourself? P.S NICE Red

 

[civicnoob]

dude, im luvin the car. I want those gauges! along with the rotas but with a polished lip, Digging the side skirts. Maybe I will follow ur lead on my civic as well shiet!

I made a template of the sidemarker outta cardboard and kept test-fitting it until they were snug. Then I found the location on the fenders ( http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=587932 )...taped the template to each side and cut the hole with my dremel and kept test-fitting until they snapped in snug. Just take your time...and make sure you start small and go bigger...if the hole is too big...you're screewed...these kind are very close fitting. But very awesome. As for the interior, yes, I painted the trim pieces with Testers model paint and clear coat. I also installed carbon fiber (3M adhesive) to the top to give it a little different look...it also helps the cf stand out.

damn....thats one sick ride. my civic looks alot like yours, but its dark green and white...so i got respect for your car looking clean and sweet. you going to put a spoiler/wing on it?
