The lug nuts are just Gorilla lugs from Les Schwab and the stem is the factory Enkei stem. I'm just about to order some rays or 5zigen blue lugs. Haven't decided on which yet.

Thanks dude! I wanna see some progress on your car. It looks sick in your avatar. But I do believe its a DC4 not a DC2


So just a small update here. Nothing big at all, just been needing it for a while so I figured I would take care of it.

So it's from Honda and its a . . .



factory Honda speaker - total cost $16.75



Just a few older pics of the car, before it had the lip and splash guards on. . .







Photoshop is neat!



Keep it fresh HT

lol no it was close to a hundred bucks at Acura for all of the screws and clips and such, so instead I went to lowes and spent 4 bucks and used some misc. Honda screws that I had.

Thanks man, I'm pretty happy with how the lip turned out, I still think I might clear coat it some more, but we'll see

96civic_hb

Yeah, it couldn't hurt. What are your plans for it next?

Random_Monkey

the clear coat looks crappy cus i think your laying it on wrong. You put clear coat on WET (go over it slowly but not so slow that it will run) What your probably doing is spraying it like you did with the base coat.

if you need more help with it shoot me a pm and ill explain it more in depth

That was my thought exactly. But at the moment I'm doing some saving so I can get a nice bay tuck and make this thing ls vtec. I might do exhaust first but we will see I was gonna go ls turbo, but with gas prices the way they are I figured I'd stick to something that doesn't use premium fuel

Hey thanks a lot for the heads up. The clear coat was the only thing I wasn't too happy about. But I did lay it slow and tried to keep it wet the whole time I was laying it, but I'm going to be doing a couple more cans of clear sometime soon so I will shoot you a pm before I lay it on

I hope you will use premium fuel with an ls/vtec setup.. with a higher compression vtec motor you should use fuel that is less prone to detonation i have used nothing except 93 octane in my gsr before and after the tune. Nice work!

I'm actually still trying to decide on what to do. I am REALLY considering going turbo with a peakboost kit. But we will see. There is soo much to do with either route. But turbo is where the power is
