What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[justasimpleman]

JESUS!!! For a chrome delete alternative, thats crazy. Only costed me $24 for a chrome delete. Definitely post that if you decide to go through with it.

I plan on it, once/if work picks back up after what’s currently going on...

Any chance you got part numbers? I'm all about going OEM where possible.

Yeah, I don't think I could stomach the price tag for new pillars, personally.

I have a set of Pro Civic/H.I.C. MG style window visors on the way. That'll cover up most of the chrome, then I'll get some black vinyl to black out what chrome is left.

Black chrome emblems installed...

Next up is covering up the fog light chrome, waiting for that stick-on part to arrive (previously tried spray on vinyl, but that didn't last long).

It’s insanely overpriced for what it is, I 100% agree on that... the thing is, I plan on keeping this car for a long time, I’m not sure how vinyl will hold up over the years, and/or how difficult it is to remove it once it starts fading or peeling... figured I’d just do it once, and be done with it.

Painted my side skirts gloss black, to match the front lip and spoiler.

Edit: re-edited photo to make it more “crisp” too show the lines better.

what side skirts are those

I hear ya and I don't blame you. I'm just way too cheap for such a thing, personally. Lol.

I'm sure the vinyl will go bad after awhile and will need replacing. Hopefully that's years down the road, though.

"Ikon Side Skirts" good fella. They changed it on Ebay but I found the exact one on their official website.

That is a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade, sweet man! My next car will be the hatch, never driven or been inside one, but turning it into a baby type-R replica seems pretty fun.

Thank you brodie. I was considering going OEM but the price makes my heart crumple. This looks hella good esp w the gloss paint, well done my friend

 

[LegendaryIsh]

Dude looks so mean, was it hard to do?

I took it to the shop to do. Not exactly sure. Thank you!

What I did for my civic was buying another engine with 5k miles to put my parts in ???

 

[EspadaTiburon]

Washed, polished, sealant, and waxed today!
Had to do some correction on the hood because I wet sanded it a bit after touch up paint. Figured I might as well do the rest of the car too
