nice murdered out look.
what kind of wheels are those?

Ravensteel · 07-02-2008

The wheels are from some obscure manufacturer. Advanti I think...

Found them at a local shop. Really liked the style, colour and since I haven't seen them on any other civic decided to jump on 'em.

Pretty sick. I like what you did with the fogs. Interesting strut bar- what kind is it, and heat shield for the intake is pretty cool too. I like.

Thanks Triz
I used the fog trim on the passenger side to direct air through aluminum ducting to the filter. The driver side trim is just to balance it out. I was rolling with one fog for a bit but decided it looked gay. One positive benefit was that it made the horn louder

The strut bar is by APR.

I made that heat shield by hand using an old inner fender well. Fits perfectly without touching with a slight curve around the filter and it bolts directly onto a factory airbox point. Added the aluminum tape to the engine side and finished it off with pinch molding on top.

Hey you got a good thing going. I ofcourse envy the Mugen lip (I had one... new one's just being shipped). The rims are awesome, so is the drop -- what coils do you have there? *Edit* Oh shoot, nevermind, you actually have it on your completed profile. The engine bay is nicely done.

I'd recommend window tint only cuz you got this dark thing going. Also, rear splash guards would go well for the back, if you're leaving it as it is.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

I was thinking about tinting...
IMO a dark tint on a black car makes it look a little too bulky or thick by blurring the beltline and roofline.

Perhaps a light tint all the way around...

Thought about rear flaps too but I wanted to keep the rear light and clean which seems to make the front look lower and raked.

I like your car but yes a tint would look nice. Keep it up

a different angle shot of the filter shield.
