Default Painted my grille finally.. here's a pic



I kinda messed it up.. but it looks better than it did when it was all black.
anyone know of any good junk yards that would have some civics that i could steal the trim off of in the north bay area? I'd prefer Lake or Mendocino County... i wanna get silver trim pieces cuz i dont really wanna paint mine.... im not very good at it. lol.

Also, is it easy to install shocks and struts?

looks a lot better. reminds me of my civic when i had black trim pieces.

the first time that I installed my lowering springs it took me a good 8 hours. look to keep a whole day aside if you've never done this before

my car is gonna look so much like urs when im done.. lol.
i have the same fogs sitting in a box.. just have to find someone to install them.
i've had em for almost a year now.. lol. everyone charges like $100/hr and i only make 8.. sooo... i gotta save up some cash to do it. i wanna get some tein s techs and some tokico blues, and then get some Rota circuit-8's in gunmetal with a polished lip.
i like ur sidemarkers too... ive honestly never really payed too much attention to them though.. do they blink with ur blinker? or are they just like a reflector or something for looks?

i paid someone to install my fogs as well, it was when i didn't know crap about electrical stuff. I paid $60 i think.

you can wire the sidemarkers however you like. you can not wire them up and just have it there if you want. i have mines wired where when i turn my parking lights/ headlights on the side markers light up and when i signal they blink as well and when i lights are off they only blink with the signals. You can wire it where it only stays on or you can wire where it only blinks with the turn signals. another cool this is that when i signal with the lights on the sidemarkers and my front and rear blinkers blink in a alternating pattern.

where are you located? see the thing is i've never cut the bumper before so i'm afraid i'm going to mess up on that

also its not hard to install and wire up the fogs, get a DIY and take your time at it.
