2002 Civic LX *FRESH PAINT* *2004 taillight mod* AFTER accident. So yeah, you guys remember my original thread last year when i bought my 2002 Civic LX.
Well, 3 weeks ago I had an accident as you can see.
Being at "no-fault" their insurance sent me a check to cover ONLY the damage and ONLY paint the replaced parts, but having my car in the condition it was with all the dings and scratches, I decided to go ahead and have it re-painted completely. The shop did everything including the taillight mod.
Here are the results;
Thanks to a irresponsible driver this car came back to life! thank you! and also thank you for the 3 week car rental. Absolutely NOTHING came out of my pocket just so you guys know!

Looks excellent, nice score on getting the entire car repainted and a tail light mod.

Do you have any suggestions for improving the look? Should I go with chrome door edge guards or just plain black? thanks in advance! also, will rain visor guards look nice or does it affect aerodynamics?

I think some all black rims would look sick on there. That chrome on there now takes away from it.
