To kinda understand where I'm comming from, I'm a pretty artistic guy, so I have this twisted sort of angle on car modding. I have this theme going on for the exterior. I liked the way the black trim complemented this shade of blue (cyclone metalic blue :rockon: ). Originally, I really wanted gunmetal rims, and my factory tires were about to blow on me (there's currently only 75k miles on it. yes, this is a '96), but I rushed the purchase :doh: I plan on getting new rims within the year, something black or gunmetal with a polished lip.

The tint is there for 3 reasons:
- Preserve the black/blue theme
- Keep people from seeing inside
- Keep self from melting every time I get in the car during the summer

I need to do something about the rear. I'm thinking either shaving the inner lights, or getting red/clears for the outer.


try to see into that


As for the headlights, My stock ones were starting to develop this haze on them, and frankly, I hate chrome. Those damned stock headlights called out way too much attention, IMO. Compare the old pics of my car to the new ones:

the projectors I have contain the least amount of "chrome" coloring out of any of the mainstream headlights. The as well hold this black/blue theme. In addition, the blackend grille contains a chrome honda symbol, along with the circular lights. Pulling in the wheels, the theme is cuncurrent throughout the exterior. Plus, chicks dig 'em :naughty:

for me, there was 1 main reason for the drop; to remove most of the wheelgap. Since I have a sedan, I like to bring my friends along, and with a 1.5" drop, I can do so. Plus, the springs only cost me $60.



But whats fun about my car is my "budget" system I have in it. It's nothing competition level, but its impressive none the less, save the massive amounts of trunk rattle I have (but I can't hear it in the car, so I don't care ).

I have kenwoods all around. 6 1/2 dualmags are shown. 3-way 6x9s in the back are basic.



These are to get me by for now. I'm still debating what I will do, but it will definatly involve a better brand. But they're still loud. Powered by a Sony Explode amp, which will move to the mids and highs once I get a new amp for the subs.

oh, yeah...

when I press on the break, the inner tails come on as well, I got the idea from that tokyo racing game on PS2











Well, I guess its art in sound and motion

sorry about the over-explination h:

SWEET! Another automatic sedan. Welcome brother!

 

He has over 1100 posts and you have just over 60... who's welcoming who??

 

h: I wanted others to see it aside from civic owners

:wavey:

:chuckles:

 

All I know is... I'm totally not feeling the rims. Also, you should either get rid of the "H" up frt. or go with a black CTR-style mesh grille.

just my 2 cents...

 

I feel that the car will look much better with painted side moldings, mirrors, sideskirts, as well as the thing around the black piece around the liscense plate. Red/Clear's in the tail with the back part tinted (Wal-Mart Tint, or Spray Transparent Black Paint) would look sweet in the back, as well as removing that Civic emblem. I'm not too fond of the headlights. Regular Black-Housing's are nicer to me, and with new rims in; it'd be looking amazing. I love that color. Overall though, I'm just throwing out my opinions, suggestions. Take them how you want. Do your own thing if ya like it.
