Not a big fan of the honduh crowd but you pulled it off pretty clean.. I really like the flamework coming out of the hood bonnet. Paint job looks A++.. So props to you

Jims5543 01-15-2004 02:53 PM

I am speechless. How you can drive that sweet FD and then that Honda amazes me.



I am not into the whole car show thing so I guess its pretty cool.

turbovr6 01-15-2004 02:55 PM

I don't get the "no more trunk" thing????

westcoasttuner 01-15-2004 02:56 PM

Well I used to own a custom shop and thats basicly all we did was hondas...scince then my taste is refined but I still like a clean custom car. Its the next evolution in hot roding...

westcoasttuner 01-15-2004 02:58 PM

Do you how hard it is to make your civic differnt from half a quazillon other civics https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png I was just staring at the back end and said screw just weld it shut...never used the trunk anyways...not like I am going to pick up groceries in it.

TheAntiChrice 01-15-2004 02:59 PM

what kind of exhaust did you run?

westcoasttuner 01-15-2004 03:01 PM

Nothin speacil just 2" back to the cheapest muffler I carried at the time...3" tip but I am actually thiking of changing the exhaust, trying to come up with something differnt

Srce 01-15-2004 03:05 PM

The only props I can give you is for that killer paint job dude, you should do that to the FD, except one color, no flames or anything.



You're obviously gifted with a spray gun, very nice.

Midnightdriver 01-15-2004 03:06 PM

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Great idea.....Sell it and put more cash in the FD

westcoasttuner 01-15-2004 03:08 PM

well I cant take credit for the paint...that would be my brother in law...and then he moved to lincon nebraska https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif and I lost my painter

i.didnt.do.it 01-15-2004 03:25 PM

I like the blue, thats ******' nice...the rest makes me want to puke out of my nipples...N/O...I just see too many hondas in my county. Im sick of 'em.



How much money do you have involved in it?

Baldy 01-15-2004 03:33 PM

Well, even if that car is one of many custom civics, at least you stand above the croud by doing everything right. The attention to detail is great.



IMO, civics earned a bad imagine from many folks just throwing on wings and decals and ugliness.

westcoasttuner 01-15-2004 03:38 PM

Not very much....I bought the car like 5yrs ago for 6gs stock. Then I have had many different body kits on it but sold allot of parts right off the car. Like I said before I used to own a shop and kids would want to buy the pieces right off my car so I didnt argue. So every thing on there now was bought wholesale and the work was all done by me or employees or friends, so no cost there. The 18"rims were probally the bigest cost along with the motor swap. But all said and done less than 10gs are in the car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

Eric Happy Meal 01-15-2004 03:53 PM

i dont like the flmaes on it AT ALL.

Pyrrian 01-15-2004 05:10 PM

I'm not really a fan of the car, but it's obvious you put a lot of hard work into it. I really do like the paint, it looks really clean and nice. Keeping a car as clean as that one looks is hard to do, and that's what impresses me the most. Plus, it looks like you did most of the work yourself, and that's always really cool. Nice work!

Rob x-7 01-15-2004 06:40 PM

the back of that honda certainly looks unique

teknics 01-15-2004 07:03 PM

the truck reminds me of a bathtub, but looks hot.



civic is cool except the headlights dont line up with the clear corners.



kevin.

Rob x-7 01-15-2004 07:05 PM

the truck looks like one of those cool beds for kids, or a dog.

YucA 01-15-2004 07:08 PM

props. paintjob is sick, im not crazy bout the headlights or the rear light, but thats what customization is all bout....



truck is sick also, i got a few friends that got minitrucks....

FD3S DRIFT 01-15-2004 09:21 PM

so do these cars have rotary engines? props for teh honda fairly unique i dont really like mini trucks.

Digisan 01-15-2004 09:48 PM

I dig the truck, looks nice. One thing I hate is those damn windshield banners, ruins the killer paintjob. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Eric Happy Meal 01-15-2004 09:55 PM

hrmm......i really hate mini trucks.

GarageBoy 01-15-2004 10:06 PM
