It's been crazy the last few weeks with finals and work but somehow I managed to get my car looking like I want it to. Started off by painting my 97 stock rims, I like the look of the rim without the centre cap and they look awesome in bronze.


I used the duplicolor wheel paint and I didn't sand my primer to give it a rough non-glossy finish. I did however polish the lip on the wheels by sanding off all of the paint. I added tunerlugs this afternoon that really change the look of the rim, they stick out alot more than the stock lugs and make it look less like the centrecaps are missing...
Coming back from the tire shop this morning...

Next up, I custom mounted my autometer c2 a/f gauge in place of my cig lighter,... I relocated the cig lighter to inside the pocket under my radio. It's a nice little mod


I painted my front bumpercover aswell because I had did a fast/crappy job painting it last year, this time it turned out pretty damn good except for the color being a shade darker...
I also installed my WW lip today, decided to keep it black so it flows well with the black lips on my car...





Next on the list is a new muffler, I want something that looks good and is not too expensive and especially not noisy. I've been looking into getting a stock RSX-S, S2000 or TSX muffler...

let me know what you think guys

 

clean car brah.

i have an omori boost guage in my car, in the same location where you have your a/f meter.

 

Looks good overall, but the front bumper is a lot darker IMO

Still better than anything I could do though

 

what does the switch do in your din bin next to your cig lighter?

 

very nice

 

it controls the light inside my a/f gauge...

 

wow looks great, but why arent the blacked out signals on?

 

they both leak when I get around to fix them, i'll throw them on

 

wow... the stock rims painted bronze look sick...

i wish i woulda thought of that before i bought black with polished lip...

 

Those pictures are sick...
I officially love your car...

I actually was thinking... I could do that or something similar and have those as my winter wheels and tires and then put the low-pro's and black on for summer...

Cuz IMO those look really really good....

 

I love how the clear corners are taped onto the bumper... haha

Looks good though.

 

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll take better pics once the weather gets nicer... I ordered a few more things to make it unique that should arrive early next week

 

Looks nice... I like the rims.

 

I was cracking up at that too. Lookin good man, I love seein my wheels in bronze, they look sweet, I also love the cig lighter relocation and gauge install. Car's comin along very well

 

inspires me to take off my skirts.

lookin good.

 

front bumper, grill, and wheels look sick.

i vote for a new Civic Si muffler.

 

I probably won't be able to find one for dirt cheap, I was going to get a RSX-S muffler for fifty bucks but the owner won't return my pm's

 

get a single can style.

the shit is hot though man,

your car has a nice feel to it.

 

This is your car on crack

no no, this is your car with black-housed clear corners... Can't wait to see it



it is also matching paint now... love it though!

 

i'd leave the ambers on there

 

U gonna tint that thing or not? Might add a little sexiness to it if it was smoked out.

 

I'm not a big fan of tint, i'll throw on the blackhoused clears tomorrow for shits and giggles, hopefully it doesn't rain because the leak like crazy

 

funny i was thinking of taking off my covers as well. so whats involved step by step if i wanted to paint my rims?

btw, i saw our car (i have the green as well) with tint, and it wasn't all that flattering imo... but it was also bone stock
