Im from Hanover, Pa 2002 Civic EX 4 door Exterior: Carbon Fiber Hood and Trunk Bezels Type R grille Yellow OEM fog lights Volvo 940 front lip 15" bronze XXR polished lip wheels Black housing headlights with amber marker bulbs Interior: Pioneer mp3 cd player custom made tweeter pods Suspension: KYB struts H&R springs 1.3" drop Engine: AEM Carbon/Kevlar wrapped intake (made by me) New intake has been ordered. Here's a few pics of my car. Ive only had it since October and it was one person owner before me and 100% stock. http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7305/1010001447a.jpg http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4914/1010001446.jpg http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/4908/billk001.jpg http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/783/billk002.jpg http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8757/billk003.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5605/billk005.jpg After I got it lowered on KYB's and H&R springs and got the new grille I had to get a set of rims and did a carbon/kevlar intake which is for sale. I made a set of tweeter pods and wrapped them in HEFTY carbon fiber. i love the sound i got from them everything is so much more clear http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/9773/tweeterf.jpg http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3346/1209001058.jpg http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/8...stpicofcar.jpg And the last thing Ive done so far was the headlights http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3011/0123010943.jpg Thanks for looking Bill |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX What lip is that, Looks good. I can't wait to do some stuff to my car. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX wow looks great, its come a long way |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX Mmmmm very nice |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX Wow! thanks guys. The lip is off a 940 Volvo. mid 90's i think it was. the fitment is not the greatest but i had one laying around so I worked on it for a while to get it to fit. Im ordering a full lip kit here in a few weeks. I do have the Xenon mild lip kit right now but I didnt like how it looked when I put it on. it sat way to low. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX Looks excellent!

Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX How do you like your suspension setup? |

How do you like your suspension setup? the only thing with these spring i have they were not made for the 4 door EX. for some reason the EX 4 door is heavier in the rear then any of the others and the rear will sag. I loved how the H&R's road with my other cars so i got them anyways. what i did to make the car sit level was i made a 1\2 inche metal spacer to sit on top the spring and it went in between the spring and top hat to give the rear end the little boost it needed. |

Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX Damn, you got one of the carbon fiber spark plug wire covers too? Those things are dope! Where did you get it? Looking better each photo. I like the clear lens foglights better with the nokya hyper yellow bulbs if your looking for a yellow light output. I'd take the pin stripe off and look at replacing or painting that lower molding around the drivers window- it looks silver. Nice to see someone posting their car up again and the history its gone through. +rep |

Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX nice car! In some of the pics i notice a small camber - consider some camber kit for the rear to correct to 0 camber and you good :D |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX well I got some new parts today so once I get them all painted ill post some pics. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX You done good! I really like it, keep up the good work. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX i wish i got the green civic |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX Whelp haters gonna hate,:shrug: but your carbon/kevlar stuff looks like a sticker job. (especially the intake wrap and edges of the tweeter mount).The previous owner of my bike put the same crap on the plastic parts. I had dgmotorsports spark plug wire cover on my old car. If you would, take the cover off and show some pics of the underside of that cover and around the edges. I am curious of the craftsmanship if it isn't a sticker job... |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX the tweeters are just a CF style vinyl wrap the intake could be real carbon/kevlar but its hard to tell. but the engine cover is defiantly real CF |

Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX ill have to get you some close up shots of the parts. they are 100% real carbon fiber and carbon/kevlar. the intake is aluminum. its an AEM intake i just wrapped carbon/kevlar around and rolled it in epoxy. i am no longer using that intake anyways i got one thats ment for the car. the tweeter pods are wrapped in whats called "hefty wrap" its fake carbon fiber. i love haters so go ahead and hate away it just makes me do more things to make you hate more. thank you to those who like my car |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX im diggin the whole car i like how you make your parts. means no one will have the same. and again if you aint gettin hated on you aint doin it right |

Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX looks good to me. how many sheets did you use on the spark plug wire cover? |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX How do you like the KYB's? I've got those in front and oem in rear, same car as you: AT, 02 ex. i love the way my car rides, at least for a daily driver. |

Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX I just ordered an OEM spoiler today. so once that and the whole lip kit gets painted Ill post some pics. I think once I get the windows tinted and get a smaller size tire I might be done for a while. In a few years Ill do a 5 speed swap and that will do it. should have some new pics in a week or so. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX I've said I might be done before, but then one of my friends gets some new parts and I suddenly feel the need to buy something.. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX dude i am impressed. lol ya know maybe you should start making shit to sale. i wouldnt mind having interior pieces in carbonfiber. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX I do make parts I sell but none yet really for the civic. I do it just for fun. Ive only had the civic for 4 months now and Ive gotten almost everything I want or need for it. theres really nothing else I want. |
Re: Billkisme: 2002 Civic EX lol well i know it would be cool to have real carbon fiber..... radio bezel, center console, door pannels.lol i have seen for the older body style civics full carbon fiber doors inside and out. and you would think that they would make a shit load of parts for all civics but ours is one that they dont have as many for. i mean they do have alot but not as much as the earlier civics |
