Hatch It

I own this car:::::::VIEW SIGNATURE::::::::

Ok seen it? Ok I get TONS of people who love it, TONS of people who hate it.

I bought the car from a fellow friend, when i saw it i was in awe, and knew i wanted it (16years old, give me a break) So now after a while, i see the "Rice" in this car. I now can see it, when i wasnt thinking about it when i bought it. I loved the car and did everything to pay it off, and took nothing but B.S. from jealous people and haters. Ok, opinions but whatever. I NOW SEE IT.

The plan........Now please understand long before i bought the car all i wanted was a GSR lowered with some gun metal rims and all motor work from there, so know im no rice boy or any other terms you have.

After being a member of HT for a bit now, i am back in the JDM mood and want to sell the car, which i cant since im still paying my parents back and they wont let me, i know i know, dont start pleeeease.

So i wrote up some stuff i am planning to do....if you want to comment go ahead, but please be mature and not HATE, its all i ask, thanks for all that cooperate, i reallly appreciate it, honestly.

OEM Front Bumper
OEM Side Skirts
OEM Rear Bumper
OEM Wing w/LED
CF "Mugen" Lip
CF OEM Hood
Black Housing Headlights
JDM Amber Turn Signals
EJ2 Japanese License Plate
JDM Fog Lights, Yellow

AND YES RIMS! haha, ok well my friend is hooking me up i hope B20VTECEK

and the interior will be gutted and a full Leather GSR interior (black) will take its place.

Please post comments, and/or suggestions.

Later guys and thanks......

What the hell are you going to do about that paint job? Go TEAM BLACK! lol. Sounds like you've got your head on straight now, sounds like a bitchin' transformation if you ask me. Post some pics of your progress, and let others in on your 12 step recovery.

Lol, well actually im going to sand it down myself, and prime it, then just get it painted over, the same color. I figure yellow is a good JDM color and i love it so it will work for me and the look of the car.

Yes i do have my head on straight now haha, I really cant wait, i just have to get my stock bumpers put on and get the car painted, then go from there, and i can sell all the **** inside and the kit and stuff on ebay, or trade it for some stock stuff

but we will see, i cant wait honestly, so i can express my own opinion about my car, not someone elses

thanks for the feedback, later

if you could sell it how much do you think you could get out of it?

i would start with a stock civic rather take apart one thats been ''customized''

Add him to the converted list... This will be a sweet ride if you really do all this **** to it. You might be able to just get by with some rims on there like your photoshop'd pic and get rid of that paint job. But if you must... do the damn thang.

If you wanna trade your ****, just post some stuff on ebay and that'll probably go quick.

The car actually dosent look that bad, just get rid of the obvious things you dont like, like the neon lights and what not. Looks to me like it was set up to be a show car. Dont hate what you have

Good luck with the build up, just don't get in over your head.

well see the car was bought this way with a blown motor, i didnt expect it but 60miles after we signed the papers it blew up, so my parents being the wonderful people they are helped me by getting me a new motor, brand new. Im stuck with some debt but its worth it if it runs like new i think, so it wouldnt be right selling it, soi want to keep it, plus i love it and think if i part it out i can get a good penny for all that crp. we will see, ebay will help me a bit.

I need OEM side skirts though, anyone know of a place or have some for sale?????? PLEASE HELP

thanks though

later guys

::im smiling right now because i cant fcking wait to start this haha::

Sounds like you've got some decent plans... The car is not bad looking as is for someone who is into that sort of thing. It isn't what I prefer but the car looks immaculate from the pics. No matter what, you are going to have people hate on you for not liking what they like. Do what YOU want to do with the car. Not what you think other people will like, because in the end you are the one who drives it. It takes time to find your niche. I still don't know everything that I want to do with my car. If I find a good deal on something and it's something I want to do to my car that's usually when I make my decision what my next move will be! Good luck with your project!

Hatch It

Well that is 100% true, but i always was with the JDM thing and this car pulled me in, but see its not me though, i just bought it because i liked it, i know i know, but i didnt do anything to it, well i did but nothing exterior wise, so i cant take much credit, and i want to so well see, im going to wait till i get outta senior year, because the car will get keyed, then the project will start.......

thanks alot guys, you dont know how much i appreciate it....

thanks again

Take the spoiler off of your list.

Looks better without one

wow, what a pain in the *** that's going to be. also KEEP THAT ENGINE !! Turbo my friend ! TuRbO ! it's already built for it..

sell the kit, sell the sounds system ( or the subS at least)
trade in al lyour ricer parts for cash plus stock parts (realyl easy if you have a local board liek me)

and slap that turbo on.

and get ride of al lthe dynamat and ****, sell it on ebay as customized dynmat for Civic doors ! 200$ ricers will be fighting for it

it use to be such a nice lil white coupe... o well. treat her good. I know she's crying

I didnt know some house of kolor yellow paint made a car JDM Rice..........

NineTwoSi

nice... the guy is trying to do something to improve on his car (in the direction most people take on this forum) and your giving him a hard time about the color he wants. So he called it a JDM color so damn what. How about a little support?!

Dude, who gives a ****.
Listen; function over fashion.
You'll always be a dumb ricer in my mind.

Who gives a **** about some yellow paint that'll look more JDM.
Who cares about some dumb licence plate or JDM fogs

So you're trading in your kit and spending more money on a bunch of other crap and still be kissing other people's tail lights.
Sounds good.

FROM YOUR PROFILE : "Location: In your rearview mirror "

Then i guess we will be on the same line eh? I find that funny^

null.

sell the car and buy a new one and start from scratch

1. you'll save time
2. it may be built but built wrong, compression is pretty high for turbo
3. won't need a paint job
4. car is too grotesque to talk about
