oh man big update.....damn you HCF, peer pressure got to me. Took about an hour, just used my finger nail and then went and got my car a carwash, real easy job just took a while. Comments anyone? Hope you enjoy







Also a picture of the blue tinted mirrors (Tim asked for a picture of it a while back)

i still got the white Team Dynamics ones for hte time being. Ones got a flat that i'm going to get fixed tomorrow and then putting them on.

Ordering the front lip next Thursday (when i get paid again) and i'm gonna paint it myself using a DIY that was posted on here a while ago. Kinda excited to try out painting stuff myself, should be good

Also got a appointment scheduled at the same shop that did my catback exhaust to get the resonator welded in there. I'll post sound clips ASAP

LOL your cars looken more and more like mine. hahaha

tho if ya do the front grill.... let me know where you can find a similar SI grill material.... cause im not finding any
i used this grill stuff on ebay BUT my aftermarket oem STYLE front bumper must not be the same size opening cause the grill was alittle to large... i cut it down alittle BUT im just not happy with the looks of it and also the main grill still shows.... the seller said try the explorer grill to custom cut my own....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00...temZ8038135728

my only issue is thier shiping kinda slow....... but o well...

sorry cars alittle dirty

but i plan on cuting out my grill and puting the grill behind it and just epoxy it to the back of the bumper....



BUT with painting yourself... just be easy with the clear coat! if ya put it on to fast between coats or to heavy or the clear coat will cloud..... and start off with light coats....

also just scuff up the parts before ya paint.... should be fine
my problem with geting my civic just right is it sbeen painted several times and im not sure WHAT color it realy is. LOL code says just stock black... and tho my paint code for my si grill job.... doenst have that blue flake in it. tho the blue flake looks alot beter.LMFAO i figure ill have to take my paint to a paint shop and have them laser the paint to find out the exact color to match it properly.... good thing i got oem fog lights the choped out opening pieces should be great to have tested. LFMAO
