Looks great! Hows the chrome above the window holding up?Hey guys! Finally a sunny, not too hot day here in Oregon. I am dipping the side chrome and front grill as we speak! Here are progress pictures. Have a great day!
Looks like what i'd imagine the "Sport" version of the Civic would look like.. lookin' good! Love how you left the Honda badge alone.. I think the car looks very OEM the way you did it..
Man I knew someone would beat me to the punch with this theme. Really love those rims, may have to get them for myself.er paint was $9 plus two hours of careful work.
Wheels and tires were $1447 at Discount Tire
Konig Wheels 8.5 19 with a 45mm offset
Motivo Tires 235/35/R19
Window Tint was $140
Stereo was $650 to include JL 12" sub with Fosgate Amp
I sold my factory wheels and tires for $800 out the door on Craig's list to a guy who had an 2014 LX. He was very happy with his new look as well.
The total for the mods was $2213. After I sold the factory wheels and tires, I have the perfect car for $1413.
I loose about 20% in ride comfort and road noise with the wider/low profile tires and it took about 1 hour for me to figure out how to re-calibrate the tire sensors (TPMS) but all is well! The speedometer is off by 1 mph when compared to my speedo app.
Minor set back. A peice of something got in my tacky dip on my driver side, had to start over. But! Coming along great. Any suggestions from the forum? It is a perfect day for a project here, was hoping to get a lot done. And thank you so much @Shnitzen Gruben !
Dipped mine for about 2 weeks now, looks the same. More coats you do the better.
I have not thought of that, but it is a good idea! It would most likely be a lot of work because you would have to clean it very well. I don't think heat would be an issue but I would have to go take a better look to make sure.
What kind of exhaust tips are these?P.S. INJEN intake may be in the near future! Waiting to see other intakes. Until next time, here are my blackout exhaust tips! The angle I took the picture makes them look crooked but I assure you, they are straight! Again I will hopefully have a surprise for you in a week or so. If I don't get back to you, it is because work is busy and I am going to watch my brother graduate basic for the Air force in Texas. See you soon!
I got them at a local Autozone. About $12 a piece. I also painted them a flat black with header paint to match everything else. Easy install.
Looks good. Can you post a few more pictures and maybe from the side? Hopefully I can find similar ones, if not I'll try to get my relatives in Thailand to send some of the Thai OEM ones.
