Default My D17A1 and my custom questions.

Ok my parents just bought me a 2002 Honda Civic LX. If im not mistaken it has a D17A1. Well the car is white but under the hood and the interior i think im gonna go blue. So what i need to know is what are some simple, yet neat looking paintjobs i can do? Im about to paint the plastic top piece that is black, with some hi temp white, them coat it with blue. Also Im getting some blue wires, I have a blue air cone. I also want to pain the fuse box (i think it is) blue too. I dont really wanna go to crazy, but just make it look nice. Throw me some of your guys opinions.

Save your pennies and buy performance parts like a cold air (or short ram) intake, strut bars, headers, high flow cat, cat-back exhaust, better suspension, quality short shifter, etc.

You're not going to give a crap how that car looks if it's not fun to drive.

i guarantee if you start painting stuff you will not like it in a couple of years, heck maybe even a couple of months.
