03 ex coupe new to the site
 

Names Nelson, here are a few pics keep changin my mind between savin up for a k swap or turbo the the d17a2, goal of 225-250whp. Future mods besides the engine are mugen lip kit, fogs, rs type grill should be here in a couple days, gold 16\17in wheels that aren't too bling blow, gold honda emblem removing the ex and civic emblem, and I know this sounds kind of out there but I want to see how a carbon fiber hood with a dark goldish tint to it would look. If u guys have seen any pics of a somethin like that on a civic let me know

stock for now but I keep it clean

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

who installed the sub? could have done a much better job hiding the power wire. Other than that, very clean.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

thanks, yeah the wires were already in the car. I'm goin to replace them anyways, I need a 4 gage kit for what I have

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

yeah my sub power wire before I relocated my battery went straight across the fire wall under the cruise control and followed the wire harness to the battery. It looked so much cleaner then a red wire in the middle of the engine bay for no apparent reason. Good luck with the car.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

Nice, same car I had before I did stuff to it, of course now I'm selling it but yeah. I'd say tint it first, beings its fairly cheap and get rid of that huge sticker on the back.


The CF hood thing sounds different? Never really seen or heard of anything like that. If your in need of one, I'm selling one for $250-300..brand new.


EDIT: Not paying attention, already tinted. Haha, sorry.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

Looks good !

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

haha no worries, had me like what kind of tint are u rollin with? Mines pretty dark as is. I'm prob not goin to look into gettin the hood for bout a month or so, thanks though

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

lookin good, I like the drop and the tint:tup: gold rims would look nicee but I'd avoid the gold emblems.. idk about them:shrug:

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

wow a cf hood with a gold tint would be something out of this world!, firstly i would think it was the most ballinn ass shit you could do to a car...but then i would be like, meh its a civic :shrug:

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

Very clean! Can't wait to see all of the other stuff on it. Its going to look like a black version of my civic.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

Looks good to me. Just take that sticker off, lol.





Wagner :shake:

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

maybe its just me, but it doesnt seem safe to put a plastic fuse holder on a radiator hose.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

appreciate all the input, but everyone needs to stop hatin on my sticker. Na i'm playin keep the input comin. The wire and fuse are not mounted or anything, it will be comin out soon enough and properly replaced with a 4 gage kit. wires were already there i've just been to lazy to do anything about it.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

i say stick to suspension mod...and dont do any performace mod. and save money to buy a new car *faster car*

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

where'd you order your grill from? price? direct fit?

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

I got my grill from ebay for $23 new, says direct bolt on so it better be. I don't really want another car, maybe much later on down the road i'd look into gettin a 350z just because I really like that car as well but i'd still keep the civic. As you can see from my hp goal of 225-250, even 250 is a little high for me, I just want a fun car that has a little get up when I want to get on it.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

i dont know about the gold tint, but have you thought about just spraying it with a gold pearl. I have a few buddies that have CF and a different color pearl in their paint so they just sprayed the pearl over the CF and it looks really good!

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

yeah i've never seen a car with a carbon fiber hood other than the regular color it comes in. Do u have any pics of your friends cars? I would appreciate it if u could post em if u do.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site

Re: 03 ex coupe, grill help

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

Yeah, it is like that if you want that plastic part on there you have to get one from a civic 4dr weird but i have seen other people on the site do it. btw where did you get it painted at i bought one for my car last week and am trying to figure out where to get it painted or do it my self.

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

thanks mayne, I got it on ebay as is for $23. They had plenty of them on there

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

yeah i got the grill. just need paint

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

Nice. My car used to look exactly like that.... then I started F***ing with it. Now it's a huge pile of ghetto-tastic metal!

Re: 03 ex coupe new to the site
 

haha I feel u, i'm not tryin to go too crazy with it. Friend of mine showed me a pic of a civic with somewhat of the hood idea I had and i'm over it now. All I want is my mugen lip kit, gold rims, some black tyc's, and maybe thinkin bout the stock spoiler. As far as the engine, still can't decide.
