I dont see why anybody would put that much money into a civic, but its your car...

Blahman240 05-27-2005 02:50 PM

Again... I must say I don't think it'll look that great.

FTK01CIVIC 05-27-2005 02:50 PM

woah! cant wait to see the pics

HondaGuy12 05-27-2005 02:51 PM

damn..... thats all i have to say..

mndthegap1 05-27-2005 03:08 PM

nofriends its not as much as you would think.
the total cost for everything including paint was/is under 5gs.
friends hooked me up on the prices for everything.

think about it people spend half that on a turbo kit 3gs for the sf kit when it first came out, i know i was one of em...ahahahahahahaah BUT i sold the kit and that paid for half the work. then i sold my front end w/ my old paint scheme hood,bumper, doors, fenders for a nice penny and a stock NHBP front end which paid for the rest of it. so this whole thing cost me out of pocket maybe 500.
it all worked out in the end...

mndthegap1 05-27-2005 03:12 PM

as far as the look goes I saw it the other day with the one headlight done, and i gotta say came out really really good, alot better then you would think......
not just saying that cause its my car... BUT i was a little worried myself but the way it was done is clean.
they had to cut the front support out to get the headlights to fit, then create a new support under the headlights to reinforce it again...

here is the paint color well very close :
