So my fiance Sarah's Mitsu crapped out on her so we decided to pick up a civic. She isnt much into modifying so we did so little cause she hates Uncle Bens Rice Patties....

So here are some pictures of some before and after pictures. Didnt do too much, just wanted to clean it up some. Engine swap, then race car set up will be some day Im sure :)

We decided to smoke the front lights as you can tell. I had sarah do most of that work, cause again its her car and she needs to learn some day. She spent most of the day sanding the lights and polishing them, then we got some transparent black paint for the front and rear lights.

We also painted the wipers black again, as well as the window trim piece.

I will post more pictures as more work gets done.

Thank you!

BTW does anyone have a 99-00 red front bumper laying around? This front bumper didnt quite make it from the previous owners.

I know. We are slowly working up to getting everything to piece together that front end.

Looks good especially in person. You got a good deal on the car in my opinion.

Not bad! Your black moldings look shot. Mine looked exactly like that, until I used this stuff called 303 Aerospace Protectant. It totally saved them, and saved me from repainting them. It's a little detail thing, but it looks good when you can make all the blacks... well, blacker. :)

we will probably do that for now but eventually we plan on painting the car and will probably paint the moldings. where can i get that stuff?

I would imagine any detail shop / car place. My friends Dad has a couple bottles of it, and man it's awesome. I use it to replace Armor All too... not as shiny, or residue-y... it's prolly the best new product I've used in a while that really works great for everything I've tried it on.

303 is the sheet! no one should be using armor all for their dash or interior, use 303. like mario said it does not leave a residue and has a high level of UV protection.

Some checkers carry it, but also check motorcycle or marine/boat stores.

We are still looking at ideas. We arent a big fan of the fog lights, so you wont see those on the car.

You should make this thing an SiR All around. I've seen 1 with an SiR Conversion In the parking lot of Westminster mall. Looks pretty sweet. Wish I still kinda had my EK.
