Are those OEM fenders?

tattedpun

Yea they are OEM. I had to roll them when I had those str rims. Then I traded the str for the hx . and didn't need the fenders rolled no more.

The car looks good man.

Thanks man. I thought the engine was toast in it and the transmission was starting to have issues, so I bought another Civic with the intention of fixing this one up for a "race car". I ended up moving out at 18 and having to sell it since I didn't have anywhere to store it. Sold it to a guy who rebuilt it all and it got stolen right after he fixed it up. He got it back from insurance, fixed it up again for it just to get stolen again. I'm sure it's been crushed by now..... That was 11-12 years ago.

I've had my current car for 11 years now, see link in my signature.
