Im Sure You Guys Have Seen Me On The Forum. Its Time I Do A Build Thread. Enjoy!

Alright This Is What I Started Off With. 1988 Toyta Celica. This Car Ran Like A Champ. But I Sold It To Get My Civic

Than I Got The Vtec Monster.lol Picked Her Up in March 2007. 01 w/92,000 Miles. The Previous Owner Took Excellent Care Of It. I Didn't Have A Stock Pic But Here She Is With Blacked Out Housing, & Yellow Fogs

Here She Is Sitting On H&R Sport lines & Put On Some Side Markers

Finally Got The Rims. Drag Dr-17 17x7. Got Them For Cheap. Made A Huge Difference.

My Most Fav Mod...HKS Hi-Power Alxe Back Exhaust.

Got Tired Of Rocks Breaking My Fogs So I Got A Layer Of Rhion Plexiglass and Custom Did My Lights. Havent Had A Problem Since.

took a break catching up on my Credit Card that i maxed out by getting the rims & Exhaust... than got ebay grill, type r lip & Ebay Headlights which are sick! only $120. bomb deal

Got Tired Of The Back End Saggin So I Got Me A Set Or GroundControl Sleeve Coils!

Rattle Canned My Front lip for now till i get my RS lip and Got Me Some Weather Tech Window VIsors. Here She Is As Of Today. We've Been Threw A Lot But At The End I Think It Came Out Looking Pretty Nice

Car Got Out Of The Shop Looking Like This!

Harlowe · 04-14-2008, 07:05 AM

Your front end looks a lot like mine! Car looks pretty good. Not my favorite wheels though.

ajgrosch716 · 04-14-2008, 02:18 PM

Looks great!

It Wasn't Me · 04-14-2008, 02:29 PM

Lookin' good, man! One thing you might want to consider is painting the lip of your grill. IMO, it looks better when it's painted.

Example:

AzunEX · 04-14-2008, 07:49 PM

thanks for all the compliments guys, ya im in the process of getting my grill painted as soon as my RS lip comes. i already got a buddy doing it for me for cheep. i wanna get some new wheels too. im still looking. its hard finding nice wheels that are white.

Harlowe · 04-15-2008, 06:30 AM

I loved my RS lip, until it broke in a crash

. What kind of wheels are you looking for?

oddmut · 04-15-2008, 07:59 AM

clean car. how much did you spend you'd say?

also the foglights with the plexi glass how'd you do it? i saw a write up on it and i was thinking doing the same.

umm in total prolly around 2500. as for the fogs. they have plexiglass at my dads work so i got some, traced the fogs and used some silicone.

whitexpinoy · 04-16-2008, 07:27 AM

hey when you paint your rs grille do you just tape it up and pait it with dupli-color?

Zoom Motorsports · 04-16-2008, 08:15 AM

Wow... wish my girlfriends car looked like that...

She has the same Civic and it's completely stock! I should do it up like this for her. lol

Great pics of before and after...!

Harlowe · 04-16-2008, 08:36 AM

For SSM I used a duplicolor paint called "Silver Metallic" It's in a smaller paint can. It's a pretty close match, not perfect, but your not spending a ton of money for it. Primer and clearcoat would be good to.

tunerkid7 · 04-17-2008, 11:41 AM

sick dude, its comin together nice.

AzunEX · 04-17-2008, 09:40 PM

i got rear ended today by some dude in a element. back bumper is gonna need to be replaced. this sucks ass!!

It Wasn't Me · 04-18-2008, 12:56 AM

DSGM340 Silver Metallic ..... I used the same thing for the lip of my grille.

I didn't bother with primer, though. I just taped off the honeycomb area and used a 3M scuff pad (instead of sandpaper), applied a few light coats of paint, and topped it off with two coats of clear. Haven't had any problems with chipping or flaking. I will end up repainting it OEM SSM when I get my lips and skirts, though.

Sorry to hog your build thread with this, AzunEX. I will delete this post in a couple days.

Oh, and sorry to hear about your car, dude. Is there any structural damage? Or do you just need a new bumper cover?
