UPDATED pictures of my 99 out of storage.
edit..... JUST FOUND OUT.... hahahaha apparently when i canceled my sirius satellite subscription when i put the car in storage.... someone screwed up.... at least so far my satellite radio still works... hahaha O YEAH!!!!! no more monthly fee and still get free sirius radio. i just found that out an hour ago when i just selected it on my radio by accident when i was going for my ipod. to think i was just about to call them and pay them to turn it on. LOL thats cool as hell for me at least. i hope they dont correct the error [8D]
ya its just a EX civic with the SI front grill.... id like to get a SI front lip for it as well but those are hard to come by for a decent price...
this is the ebay seller i bought my OEM foglights from.... im alot happier with the OEM fog lights even tho you do have to wire them up alittle custom if you want them on with the parking lights as well.... otherwise they only work with the headlights ON. simple fix for me to do tho.
but the fitment is the best part... tho my front bumper isnt OEM but it still fits pretty good. just has one side where the bezel has alittle space between it and the bumper. very minor most people dont know....
so far my definate plans are to work on baking my headlights apart and painting them black, take off the carbon fiber eye lids and taping up some kinda similar but different design shape and tinting over the lenses with some VHT niteshades.
and got to rebuild my stereo setup in the trunk.... not sure how ill do it yet..... but i do want to keep more trunk space this time so the box will be alot more complicated than last time! fiberglassing spare tire well, and wraping the box around the sides...... will be quite a task! im thinking about either 2or 3 new alpine typeR 12s or maybe just 2 15s... still not sure yet.... got to do more planing! i want to reuse my RF 1,620watt amplifier tho!
then continue my rear taillight project i started last year baking apart the outter taillights to do some custom lighting with some..... yes you guessed it my favorite led flexstrips, i think i was gonna do 5red strips and 2 yellow strips on each side taillight in the clear lower section and tint the top red lense kinda dark again.... i just have to save up for all the flexstrips. gonna cost me like 100-150bucks for just the all the flexstrips.
but it will be worth it for the custom look and also SAFETY during the day so people will see the red brake lights clear as day! might actualy be to bright at night when i think about it.LOL
heres a teaser picture with just 1 blue flexstrip behind the clear lower....


i just gotta sand blast the inside part alittle to clear off all the loose reflective paint so the glue will stick good and hold the led strips where i put them.... my old superflux lighting SUCKED! i wasnt happy at all the way it looked with the brake lights on! just could not get a even glow!

tho i will leave the inner taillights alone.... they do not bake apart as easy at all! i ended up snaping one to pieces and then gave up on it! figure it will look better with just thebackup bulb and tinted over the red part as well.

should be nice once i just save up enough cash to buy the strips. instaling should be quick as hell!
this was the BEFORE with the 6 superflux leds.... sucked pretty bad
ill keep them to just accent lighting projects now!
