It is ORANGE,
flake is too large,
you are missing a grill,
I don't like the chrome wheels with that color,
you painted the door handles but not the mirrors???,
don't like how far the front fascia sticks out.

All in all it looks like a ricer but if you are happy, who cares what I think.

Just don't drive it like a ricer.

The flakes are to big. Align your bumper... it doesn't look right around the headlight.

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
The color of ur car and those chrome rims makes the intercooler look more like an INTER-FOOLER. But thumbs for doing most of the work urself dude !

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
glad your not just a ricer, turbo is the way to go
looks good!, flakes are a little large, but i bet it has a wicked twinkle in the sun
+1!

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
just to answer a few peoples questions at once, yes it does sparkle good in the sun. i know the bumper is a little off, the guy who had the kit before me got lazy an just cut a big gap around the headlight on his civic. but it was a free bumper so i took it. and as for the ic pipes. i have one going both ways. i had to remove my washer fluid res., but it works. i wanted it to be a little different then everyone elses set-up. i did do all the work myself. and yes i am from the south originally. thanks for all the comments.

I would argue that, but his winders aren't tinted so i guess it doesn't look right. I'm thinking about putting black mirrors on mine, so the window area is black...

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
just change ur rims and it wont look ricey. get some rota slips or something. or y dont u just put bak the ex rims. it would be way better. stay away from chrome!!!!!

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
idk....I'd put some black 17s on it to set off the bright paint color. Then youre set.

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
thats an awesome color man, flakes maybe to big but thats just based on that one pic. i say get some darker rims too, make the color a little less bright but focus more the attention on it, and maybe get a dark grill. and since the bumper was free, invest in a new one. maybe something a little less bulky and one that goes with the color, not really feeling color with the front bumper.
either way color looks nice and i bet looks better in person.

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
Good stuff on the blower and kudos for doing all your own work on a very original looking Civic. GO + SHOW FTW man. I agree that a set of gloss black rims would really set the car off nicely. What EMS are you running and who tuned it?

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
im feelin' it man, good job but the rims, i'd go with the black or darker rims. to each his own but its just an unspoken rule that civics stay away from chrome besides that i think you did a damn good job. enter it in some shows your garnteed a trophy with that

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
the paint is great, rims make the car look cheap imo. everything else nice

affixrider 10-17-2007 09:44 AM

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
thanks everyone. ill think about the rims. and for speedfoos, im running it with greddy ultimate, and me and a few other people on this site helped me tune it. its not a perfect tune, but its come along ways. the wideband helped out alot.

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
what size are those rims anyways? might be a decent idea to go with a smaller size regardless of how they look due to safety.. our brakes arent meant to stop 19" wheels.. esp. if you're turboed.

Car looks good other than that tho:D

affixrider 10-17-2007 10:29 AM

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
 
lol, true. they are 18s, and im looking into a big brake kit

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think

affixrider 10-17-2007 10:48 AM

Re: Just Got Done Painting My Vic. Let Me Know What You Think
