its okay for you guys to have opinions, but i lovee it, and am very happy at the way it turned out. how much more simple could it have possibly been?

It's too flashy. It's not clean. It doesn't flow. It sticks out like a sore thumb. The paint is also too shiny but that's the least of its problems.

Simple is one color. Or only painting like one or two things. I think it would have been a lot better if you had gone all black and just reupholstered the door inserts with a pink fabric, and pink shift and e-brake boots, if pink is what you wanted. Would have looked a lot better. To me, a dashboard should be all one color, or a couple of colors that are very close to each other.

I actually wouldn't say the Civic in the link is too much. The only things I don't like about it are the hood and that I don't really like the color pink... but the color doesn't really matter.

That Civic is clean and simple in that it is all one color on the outside, and one color on the inside. Nothing clashes. The wheels are a little weird but that's a whole different story.

Meh if they just look different cuz the camera I'd say it's good. I'd go with the darker on the seats if they really are different tho. Looks like something out of Midnight Club lol


*Edit* Ok don't like the grill or rims. The offset just makes them look weird, also too flashy, tho I'm used to simple racing rims... >.> Grill doesn't go well the badges are one thing but that just is a pink thing in the front of your car... If you really like it you could probably find some pink pinstripe designs to put near it to at least make it fit better. Ppl can't see all the pink on the inside when you drive by so it just looks like you too the time to spray paint your grill pink.

not much, you did a good job of choosing what pieces to dye. But that doesn't mean it looks good (my opinion obviously).

Honestly I highly doubt you'll get any love on here for that interior, doesn't matter what color, or what pieces you chose

Don't get pissed and leave cause of it

edit: And we have the same rims! if you still have the all silver ones. Mine came with the car, and they're better than steelies.....but only just (please don't hate me)

lol I'm sure no one on here will like it! And that's fine! not everyone likes everyone elses things. I'm a open minded person. At least now, on my next civic it will be kept simpilar lol.
we do have the same rims? These won't last long, there 18" and I don't really like them! They were a gift! And a surprise, I didn't pick those, if I would have had the chance they would have been all black.
with the grill, yeahh I hear that alot, that it really sticks out and I should atleast paint the outside piece black so it blends. Which sounds lk a good idea just haven't gotten around to it.

VERY simpler! I understand people doing like their airvents, door handles, pillars, etc etc normally cause theyre ricey as hell and wanna paint em blue, white, or red (granted sometimes if done tastefully black to match the rest of the interior it can look nice) but all black and pink?! I mean u painted everything sorry but thats insane. U must have a lot of free time on your hands lol anyway have fun driving this eye sore around. Oh and in ur garage pics, do what MaximusFunk said about painting the grille black on the outer edges/trim so that it looks better (*edit: nvm u covered that part in the last post). Sorry im not trying to be a d!ck but that shocked me when i saw that.

not clean. too flashy. very ricey. but hey. if it makes you happy and you like it who are we to judge? i'm in the process of having The Shop do a 2jz-gte swap into my 92 hatch. (blew the engine, sold my truck to get the money) all the people on here will kill me when i post pictures of my hatch with a supra engine. lol. all you need to do is bleach the carpet then die it hot pink! now that'd be different. i'm a fan of factory interiors. just swapin seats and stuff like that.
