get a black tip or paint it flat black with high heat paint.

civicchick2001

hmm.. i dunno if black would look good or not.. my car is blue with chrome accent pieces on it.. i think a chrome one would look aight, i just dont wanna look cheapy.. why would you recommend black? is that better?

lowlife9

idk i think a black tip would look better in my opinion.or evan better black chrome or chromium black.

civicchick2001

Slap on a LSD, and you've got yourself a 911 under 100 grand.

Anyways, enough threadjacking, hows your car coming along?
No claybar/wax yet?

civicchick2001

hey, sorry this took so long.. i went out of town over the weekend and could barely get online to check anything.

but anyways.. no claybar/wax just yet. i was gonna do it last week, but had this trip come up and just havent had time to do it. i might try and do it this weekend though.. maybe. ill take pics for sure when i do though. it needs it BAD. speaking of the claybar thing, how often are u supposed to do it in 1 year?

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

depends how often you clean it. if you wash every week, prolly once a year clay is fine

civicchick2001

oh ok cool and how often do you buy new clay bars? i guess, how many uses do u get out of em?

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

I wash every week, wax every 2~4 weeks, and clay every 3~6 months

Claybar, you'll probably use most of it on your first time claying, so it'll probably last like 2~4 times to be honest. (I wouldnt really want to keep the first kit for that long anyways)

But after that, another claybar kit will last you forever.

civicchick2001

so for the first time using one ever.. should i be using both of em? or will 1 be enough? cuz it feels like crap. if i wouldnt have known about this claybar thing, i'd be buyin some wax pretty soon. i hate that, especially after a fresh wash, you slide ur finger on it and its just rough and not smooth at all.

Kennykid2002

If you really want to, it really depends how much crap is on your car, and if the clay is getting really dirty

If it looks too dirty to be rubbing all over your car, just toss it

civicchick2001

k.. thanks for the tip.

i cant get over how freakin shiny yours is. i mean white is hard to get that way, but man.. you make it happen for real. i just hope mine turns out good.

civicchick2001

im missin my daily car talk. lol.. kinda sad what is everyone up to with their civics??

Kennykid2002

Nothing much as of now, waiting for some new cashflow, so that I can get new brakes and suspension :P

Still waiting on you to clean your car

civicchick2001

i know it.. i keep runnin into money issues

so sick of it..

i just wanna do so much, but im always stopped cuz of money. story of my life i tell ya. oh well, hopefully ill get to autozone soon and pick some stuff up. i noticed a big a$$ chip of paint on the passanger side door today missing.. i got SOO mad. you'd think parking in a garage would help to NOT get scratches and crap like this. but no, everyone wants to walk right by my car, and scrape it up. and "sorry" just doesnt fix paint. ugh.. oh well. guess ill just have to pick up some big foam sheets and line my car with em every night. im SICK of gettin fresh scratches on a dark freakin car. i should take a pic of the nice chip that's gone now. might do that tomorrow..

civicchick2001

im thinkin about shaving my emblems.. cant decide if i want to or not.. leave the honda H and take off the "ex" and "civic" .. i dunno. advice anyone?

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

Leave the H
Take everything else off

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

do it, looks much cleaner. leave the H since there will be holes behind it

civicchick2001

im not a very good decider. if that's a word. lol...

i like how both of your cars look without the emblems.. but i dont know if i would like mine without em.. i like the "civic" emblem, but you cant really leave that and take off the "ex". i definetly wanna take off that stupid thing on the front hood i put on. i didnt have any idea how -stuck- they get on there. woops!

is goo-gone the best stuff to use? on ur paint? to get that black adhesive crap off?

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

goo gone is pretty good, just wash it off and wax afterwards. you could leave just the civic i guess like the 06+ have stock. they stopped putting the trim emblems on the back.

Shift-E

In Canada we don't have LX or DX badges on the cars. And our EX is called an Si so it does have a badge.

Mine looks perfectly normal without it, in fact I would think it would look weird with it lol.
