Altezza style taillights =

solution: get some darker blacked out ones if you want to stay with Altezza style

projector headlights =

chrome grille trim =

solution: tie a rock to it and throw it in the river so nobody else is subjected to it

red interior = MY EYES! OH MY EYES! The interior seriously looks like trash, there's not one good thing about it.

wheels =

drop =

exterior paint =

solution: It looks like shit, seriously. Buy a compressor and a proper paint gun, it's only about $200 - $300 for a cheap setup. Then spray down the floor with water and repaint the car. Let it sit for a few days and do it in the summer if you can, on the hottest day.

lack of tint =

solution: Tint it. If you do it yourself, make sure you put a water based solution between the tint and the window, then use a squeegee to squeeze it out. The homemade tint that you see with all the airbubbles in it is a result of just applying the tint dry and not using any liquid. If you do happen to get a small air bubble, pop it with a pin and use the squeegee to flatten it out.

Don't ask peoples' opinions and come here with that attitude. You get what you ask for.

Just joking with the tail light comment. I got those for free. Im gonna clean my other ones up and go back with those. I just havent had time. sorry

I appreciate the criticism. Everyone hated my interior and now its changed. Anyways heres my finished black interior. All i need is the ac vent and new rear view bcuz i knocked it off with my head. lol

murda_civic26 · 05-05-2009

What do you guys think of the new interior and also does anyone know where i can get some black seats that will fit my car (97 civic coupe ex). I dont want racing seats. I want stock honda seats that are black.

murda_civic26 · 05-05-2009

Refinished old tails back on. How do you like these?? Any other suggestions?

Don't be sorry. If you like them, keep them on and don't let anyone tell you to change them. I was more upset with your attitude than the lights, though I do still think they're ugly!

However I am impressed with the stock ones now, looks good. Hopefully you like them as well and aren't just trying to please everyone. My new opinion on the interior is that it's better but still pretty terrible. You need much less red and should have properly dyed the panels instead of painting them, you must get high every time you drive now. It's better though.

And that turbo badge.....uhhhhh........I don't see an intercooler and I'm afraid to ask the alternative.

murda_civic26 · 05-07-2009

lol the turbo badge is EXTREME though. Well i do plan on putting a turbo in within the next month or so. For now I just have to stick to telling people that dont know what theyre talking about that its turbo'd. I do like the stock tails better I just never felt like cleaning them up and goin back with them, plus i had to replace bulbs in them.

that is so clean gearbox. where can i find that stuff? I used 000 steel wool then used some plastic wax to polish mine up but the wax wears off after a couple days and they get hazy.

any auto store should have it, comes in a white bottle. you cant let it dry or its hard to take it off. just rub it on as many times as you want, but use a clean cloth to wipe it off before it sits and starts drying. if it dries, just put some more wet on it and try again. it shouldnt have any haze if you do it right. and you may need to apply it a few times or more til it starts shining.
