Default My 1997 Midnight Purple Ek Hatch "Build Thread"/Project Stupid Kids

Finally getting around to doing a build thread for my current car. Leave any comments of the car that you may have positive or negative, just want to know what the world has to say and what it is gonna turn into.

The car is a 1997 clear tittle civic dx, I got the car about 4 months ago after my dc2 b20vtec took a poop on me and i didnt have the time nor funds to repair it. I traded a good buddy of mine for the civic cuz i needed a daily to get to work. The car is in pretty good condition except for a couple of scratches, dent in the hatch door and a ding on the hood, and a small crack and blemish on the left rear bumper, and dirty carpet nothing major though.

I haven't done much to the car yet, and dont have many pics of when i got it and just some pics of the little things that i have done, mostly cosmetic mostly because its just a daily that i take to work, but thinking about a motor swap and or boost.

Reppin Project Stupid Kids err day lol, shout out to xxstuntin4life and del sol noob

Nice and clean, I like the rim replacement! IMO, you really should sell that wing for something a little better. That one is full of air and bubbles. Pretty soon here it will probably start de-laminating, just fly off, and ruin someones windshield.

To get your rear seats fitting better might I suggest you to take the skin off the ITR and put it on the skin of the stock seats. Just get an upholster to get it perfect but it does fit very good.

Nice ride yo and GL with the build.
Just in case here is mine with the Bomex spoiler. Some call it rice but heck do I care about other peoples opinion on my car.

They call the Bomex spoiler the transformer wing cause it's so out there....lol. It actually looked like a bench when I first got it but when I put it on I was like damn, I like it...hahaha.

Samething with the rims, but I don't tell people about it and then they said it looks nice but when I tell them their 19" they take a second look and everyone is shocked. However I can back it up.

If you want a less extreme wing then you may like the CTR one, it's very nice.
