For the accessories im looking for the inside chrome honda foot pannel right where the door opens like gearbox has in the pics of his civic. Next would be a question of the plastic around the inside door handles, would it be easy to pop that out and paint it? I would like it to match the color of the car being white, and if its easy to do I should mention ima noob at painting what would I need and how to do it right? Lastly would be some oem looking Vtech stickers to place about the same spot as on newer 8th gens.

for the chrome honda panels, (i always check e-bay first) you can most likely get them at handaaccessories.com, v-tec stickers, best bet is e-bay, and for painting those panels, there's one or two screws and then it pops out. search for people who have done diy's on re-upholstering there doors, when they do that they take the entire door panel off and those panels your talkin about are part of the process

Thats for taking the door apart. To take the door handle off you will have to remove the lock. There is a clip that holds the lock. the door and the handle together. It needs to be removed which is a huge pain in the a**. Good luck it took me like an hour just to remove the lock

Wow what a pain for such a small detail upgrade heh, well maybe I will skip that one. And ty for the tips on the decals and chrome pannels, ive done some looking around but no luck on the pannels.

Leave off the vtec stickers unless you decide to k-swap. As for the door handles, it really isn't hard. It takes like 5 minutes to have them out and only take like 2 screw drivers. Take em out, sand, primer, lightly sand, paint.

The lock must come out to get the door handles out

Ok maybe I will give it a go. As for the stickers, I just wanted the subtle ones like on the newer civics I think they look stylish, but if yall think it would be rice then ill stay away from it.

I mean the stickers are your call. I personally like the clean look better unless you are rocking a k-swap, I say the d17 vtec isn't much to brag about. But to each his own, it is a factory sticker so it isn't too bad.. just no dohc stickers.
