Introduction: I got the 1999 Civic Ex in February of 2008. It came with a no name exhaust that didn't sound all that bad. The paint was ok, but after a nice detail job looked much better. She did come with a few dings and dents, but those will soon disappear this summer. The interior was in perfect condition and still is. Another bonus was there were only 62,000 miles on the car. Since then I was in a front end accident and just got done fixing it. All the work I have been doing on it lately has sparked my interest in modding it again and I have decided to create a build thread since I have some big plans in the next 3-5months before I go off to college. Anyways I'll post pictures in order of things happening and bellow will be my mod list and future plans.

So here is some here is some history on the car. I recently got into a car accident. I rear ended my friend. It wasnt too bad of an accident but here are some pictures of the progress and the final result. I think it turned out ok. The hood, lights, and other small parts where none usable, along with the radiator core support. I was able to get a used radiator core support for cheap, but the rest I bought primed and ready to paint.

Day After:









Dismantling:








Final Result:

 

Also Finished installing the foglights last weekend, took me a little while to cut the bumper but I'm pleased overall how they came out. Dont make FUN of my shorts, i was hot and they were comfortable LOL. Some day and night pictures.














Also here are some pictures of the CAI(its a sri riht now, but it will be changed) after the install, it was fairly smooth but I broke a plastic nipple, fixed it and everything is ok. Also pictured is the Upper Strut Bar and the Rear Strut Bar w/ my amp + sub.

 

Tonight I was able to finish the coilover sleeve mod, hopefully I will be able to install them this weekend, but I have work so we will see.





Also Del Sol OEM Shifter just came in, YAY

 

sweet man, its coming back together nicely. can't wait to see more mods added

 

Looking good........is it me or does your headlights look off alignment?

 

Lol i was definitely going to make fun of those shorts. Looks good I'm glad you kept all your parts and didn't start pawning them off. Coming together well. Also looks like we'll be turboing at the same time!

 

do you mean when the light is hitting my garage? Yea it is slightly, it also my be because of the car accident, tough to get everything to align like it used to but I had that same problem b4 the accident so it just needs to be adjusted.

LOL, yea im glad I kept everything too. Cant wait to turbo, definitly should do a meet after we both got boost

 

Did you keep any of the random clips or other original parts, or did you reuse the old ones?

 

Not bad!!! looks good! How much time and money to get it to look like that?
