person before you was a ricer. Its a nice first car and congrats but put some 04-05 tails on and take off that type r badge immediatley!!

how can i take the badge off?

let it sit the sun for awhile! Peel it off! And get some Goo Gone at pepboys or something!
Get some 04-05 tails ;)
Congratz on the new car!!!!

hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the goo under it, use a credit card, fishing line or dental floss and slide it behind the emblem until it comes off than use some goo gone to get the residue from the sticky stuff off

i used FLOSS. lol, it works!

thanks, any idea where i could get the 04-05 tails?

Goo Gone or some kinda of adhesive remover that is car paint safe.

u can get 04-05 tails on ebay or here on this site (For Sale Threads)

04-05 tails are really hard to get since so many people want them..check ebay every now and than or the forsale forums on this site. Putting in the 04-05s does require little modification to the wiring so if you arent up for that just get some 01-03 tails, they still look good....a lot better than what you have on now

i have the stock tail lights, the guy kept them and included them with the car

put them in

Yeah take off the rice. Uncle Ben would be proud, but he isn't a member here. NADABOH! (Means needs a drop and blacked out headlights :lol:)

ok im putting the stock tails on and i have a problem the reverse lights and break lights work (bottom) but the top of the tails dont light up?

any clue?

Welcome!

fixed it nvm check out the new pic

Looks alot better

looks so much better with the stocks! good job!

yea man that looks a lot better, now just take off the type r badge and your set.....for now :tup: repped

yea i have to get that goo stuff before i get rid of the badge, he also had these gay chrome rusted type r foot pedals that i just took off, i will prolly get some nice carbon fiber sparco ones

go back to where you bought the car and light a bag of dog shit on fire, write from 7thgencivic.com and put it on his doorstep.....why would anyone do this to there car :shake: at least it fell into the right hands :sweet:

hahaha lol before i bought it i made a list of what i was gonna take off the car lol but he was like 40 so i knew he didnt drive it hard and it was crazy clean, the car has one little scratch on the outside and its almost underneath. the interior is spotless

Congrats and happy modding

congrats!

good decision: removing stupid badge + stupid altezza, lol!

anywho, drive safe......don't get into trouble.......don't tarnish your driving record until you're 21 (well, and afterward...) :)

lol i hope i dont

:lol:

Get some stock tails, and keep it subtle and clean :tup:

yo where in pa do live? n congrats on car

Looks like my car when I got mine....had the carbon fiber altezza's and wheels. Took me a LOT longer to get rid of the tails since it didn't come with the stock ones. Mine has come a long way here and there over the past 2 years.
