As far as the paint I like black but every so often I see a gunmetal that I really like. Something like this...

 

^That color is nice! That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Saw a Jade Green Metallic RSX yesterday and thought that could be a possibility, too.

I have about $500 saved for paint.. 1/3 of the way there. I still need new mirrors, that'll probably run me about $50. Keep the suggestions coming regarding paint!

 

my EG was charcoal and that was sexy

^^ ehh... just a little too dark IMO. But I appreciate the input!

I strayed away from my saving for paint just a little. For the past 2 weeks, I have been hooking up sound systems in a few of my buddy's cars just to make a little side money and to help them out. I started to hate driving in my car without any "bottom" to it, so I met up with someone in S. Philly and bought a 10" sub in box for $40. It's a MTX Roadthunder. Sounds decent and matches the specs of the sub channel on my amp perfectly (200w RMS @ 4ohms). It's not car rattling powerful, but more than enough to create that bottom sound and make the music sound so much more "full". lol

Plans for today: Lengthen the wiring for the sub to be able to position it where I want in the trunk, and re-paint the drivers side windshield wiper black since the guy who installed my windshield scratched into that paint when he was cutting out the cracked one.

 

i know the bottomless feeling
i feel like the music sounds almost empty without a sub (or 2 in my case)

 

ya you don't realize how much you really would miss a sub until you go a while without it. When i burned out my old amp, it killed me so i just put in an old kenwood amp just to have somethin.

 

Havent had a sub for about a year.... sucks teh ballz lol

And army green paint yes?

 

please no

 

Unfortunately, I'll have to pass on the army green. lol. Too much of a color change. I just want a freshly painted Civic that won't jump out and grab the wrong person's attention.

I'm starting to lean towards OEM silver paint as I wouldn't have to worry about in the trunk/engine bay/door jambs. Also, a fresh silver painted civic is just that, but a fresh gunmetal (or any other non-oem civic color) civic would begin to attract the wrong kind of attention IMO.

 

Bored so I went and took a quick pic of how the car looks right now. OEM headlights FTW.



And a pic of the new bump-in-the-trunk:


Edit - Whoops! Forgot to add a pic of why I wasn't able to attend Honda Day on 8/15/09...yes, I know the event is two weeks after Honda day, but I had a choice, spend $30 and look like an idiot for running my 15-16 second d16 at the track (against Honda's/Acura's that are actually quick and deserve to be on the track), or spend $35 on a ticket for myself....lol



Got an incredible deal them and a bunch of my buddies were available to go on 8/27! 3rd year in a row I have been able to go to an Eagles preseason game. The stadium is pure awesomeness and 5 hours of drinking/eating/fun while we wait in the parking lot (game is at 7pm) is always a great time. Preseason woot!
