Another Civic / 350z photoshoot.
Well I just got done doing my first ever claybar treatment (of course with wash and wax). Then I got together with my best friend who owns a Z and we did a little photoshoot with my Canon Powershot SD600 camera. My muffler tip got all gross and one of the screws came loose, so I took it off. 
Getting another tip soon.
You might be able to see how I cleared my drum brakes and instead of painting them flat black or gloss black, I just clearcoated them.
Enjoy. (click on the tabs to enlarge them. the minimized view really doesn't do the pics justice)
TIME ATTACK FTW Took the sticker off my friend's Z and slapped it on.

Thanks triz. Seriously the color is so much deeper. And it feels like a freshly waxed bowling alley.

The wheel gap is perfect.
It's the way the front lip kit is angled slightly up that makes it look high on the front nose.
It's an easy fix with a different lip though.
All in all I really like it.

Your car looks nice and shiny. I clayed, polished, and waxed my car last week. A few suggestions though. Remember its your car, you decide if you want to do these.
Put an aftermarket exhaust or at least an exhaust tip on the car. I almost thought your car had no muffler for a second. Also take off the "lx" emblem, and maybe even the "civic" one. It'll make your rear end look a lot cleaner.
Just my suggestions, you don't have to do them if you don't want. Its your car, but that's what I think will make your car look nice. Small touches, and very little money to invest as well.

Lol. I had an advanced auto parts tip but it got all rusty so I painted it chrome which looked awful. Then the other day a screw fell out on the road so it was rattling everywhere. End result: a civic/z photoshoot without any tip. That my friend, is a stock muffler right there. It's the stock muffler mod. haha. I'm going to correct this once I decide what to get. I saw Rob's DC TCS and it's growing on me but I have yet to find a good deal on one. I might just get another tip and keep the noise level down to a minimum.

well i realized that you had the stock muffler. after all, who would buy a brown tip? might as well sh*t on a stick. ive been looking at those OEM honda tips on eBay. Not the knock offs.

Yeah the OEM ones are nice. The accord ones are nice. But heck at $12 you can't beat advanced auto tips since they all look like crap once you start driving.
