I like the SI cluster cuz its alll one color [Orange/Red]. And i really like the way it looks. might plan on doing the climate control and stuff the same color next month for my winter project since i cant really do anything for the outside anymore.

hatch is looking good. missed my car when it was silver and black trim but at the same time i think it looks cleaner when its paint matched. i think the red is a tad bit dark, it still looks good though. I want to repaint my hx's gunmetal or bronze or even gold. Think they look best on silver civics

^ His bronze/gold statement is the truth!

I really wish I wouldve painted my hx's gunmetal, bronze, or gold on my silver cx when i had it. Mine were black and beat to ish but i loved the way it looked on my hatch since i had so much other black all over it (basically same thing as yours minus the lips).

But those pic's made me miss my hatch *sniffle sniffle* DAMN FAULTY ALTERNATORS!!! :'(

so did you say that those tokico hp's went bad shortly after installing them with the s techs? or did you still have stock struts on?

sorry, dont mean to thread-jack... i was just curious about the reliability of tokico hp's with tein s techs since thats what I'm about to invest in..,

Broken bumper and lip. windshield reservoir is fine, but it moved into my splash guard including the a/c drier. hopefully its just a quick readjustment on both of them.

Since i just got a job and i have some $$ bought the bumper and lip again the same night it happened. also bought blackhousing headlights and foglights. just came in today. hopefully getting it all put on tomorrow.

Oh and no i wasn't e braking around corners. i was completely on top of black ice. tried every possible way to avoid it but i couldn't and ran right into a snowbank.

waiting until the spring to get it painted at Maaco's gonna cost like 500 to 600. thats with painting the rear and front lip, bumper, side mirrors, side molding, doorhandles, sideskirts.

then hopefully this summer get a carbon hood and carbon spoon spoiler.

and does anyone no where i can get like a stencil for the fog lights cuz since i got a new bumper from ebay it didnt come with the markings.

Same thing happened to me last year, except my front end was on top of a snow bank 3 feet in the air, I was messing around though so it is my fault. My bumper cracked and the lip got ripped off. My rad overflows in my bumper so that went flying. I got lucky as he'll though seeing as I was sitting on my pan.

if you look in the diy section, I'm pretty sure there is a link to the oem installation instructions.
