yea man your hatch is clean, lambo doors would completely ruin it.
instead, get some rims

 

^dito. i vote OEM SI wheels.

 

yea i got some wheels in mind, just waiting for them to come off back order.

ssk 16's I'm kinda thinking scrap the whole door modification thing and go with some L.E.D stuff. the suicide doors seem like a lot of work and the lambos seem a little ricey. I'm just looking around for some ideas to stand out at shows. I want to keep it clean and not muck it up with a bunch of rice or over the top crap that isnt nessary.

 

^those wheels are sweet

yea get some nice floor glow... buy stuff from oznium.com
put some like 9" flexstrips under the dash (one on each side)
4.7" flexstrips under each seat (2 per seat; one pointing towards the backseat footwell, one pointing towards the frontseat footwell)
wire 'em all up to an LED round rocker switch and then let them get their power from the cigarette lighter (this only gets power with the ignition turned to accessory or further, so if that's gonna be a problem for shows, wire it to the constant 12V wire going to the stereo)
The reason I mention a switch is because while driving, the lights will probably get annoying at night sometimes. Also, the LED switch might get you a little more looks for shows than just a plain switch or no switch. Just don't mount it high up... the LED is bright and while driving the LED switch can get annoying if it's right in your line of sight or peripheral vision.


I myself used 4.7" under the dash and 2.4" under the seats, but for a show car you'd probably want more light, so I recommended the above sizes.

 

ya for shows try to keep it clean and classy.
IMO lambo doors loose points at least in my head.LOL

 

Yea oznium has some nice stuff. I figure as far as switch location i'd mount it in one of the slots next to the e-brake handle. Is the switch gonna need to be fused as well or will it be ok since i already have it run on a fused circut in the car? and could all those lights be on the same circut since l.e.d's dont draw that much power?

 

i'm pretty sure the switches are just barely too wide to fit on one of those slots. What I did on my Del Sol is I just drilled a hole right in the console and popped the switch in, which is probably easier because drilling a hole in those little slot covers anywhere on the dash is pretty hard, because the plastic is a lot harder on them than on the console.

the cigarette lighter's fused. if that's what you're wiring it to, you won't need to add a fuse. when you wire it to the cigarette lighter, wire it into the cigarette lighter's wire harness that is right behind it.

they're fine to run on the same circuit.


What I did on my old Civic is I took the positive wires from every LED strip, and spliced their ends all into one wire. Then I ran the one wire to the switch. Then run a wire from the switch to the 12V wire on my cigaretter lighter wire harness. Then with all of the negative wires from each LED strip I spliced their ends into one wire, then ran that one wire to a good ground on the chassis, by bolting the wire down to the chassis, on a bolt underneath the console. Oh, and I had an LED switch, so there was a ground wire coming off of that too... I added a longer wire to it, and then grounded it at the same bolt as the LEDs. You can use any ground for this, I just chose to use the one I was already using. If the switch is far away from the ground you're using for the LEDs, just find a different ground for the switch.

 

ok seems pretty straight forward. this may be a little off topic but i'm also thinking about re-doing my door panal fabric and headliner in suede. I'm not really sure what color though, (the only people i really have to ask besides you guys, for a diffrent opinion are my GF and my parrentsand its tough to bounce ideas off them LOL) But the stock matereal is getting pretty worn out and i thought i'd try and class is up a bit with some nice suede, it's not too expensive and it looks better than any other matereal i can think of. now what color would you sugest? I'm thinking black because I plan on getting a set of racing seats, (bride or sparco or something) and they will definatly be suede. again i'm not sure what color to go for.

 

either black or charcoal grey

 

aftermarket lambo doors look good only on very few cars... and the civic is not on the list. just shave you door handles, debadge the car, and tint the headlights/taillights.
