Shaved 97Si Opinions?
This is my girlfriends 97Si that I just finished putting fresh paint on as well as shaving the moldings and door handles as well as a 'Mugen' front lip... The car is basically stock with a D16y8, header, full exhaust and adjustible coils. Also have a set of 17" KMC Tramp wheels with Kuhmo rubber that are not on in the pictures. Future plans include som sort of swap and eventually some boost, face it guys this chicks car looks better than most of yours lol... Plan was too keep it as clean looking as possible. Let me know what you think, thanks!

its ok...I used to be a huge fan on the shaved look, however i think its better on 4dr's. Get some new rims, and please loose the fart can.
looks good, however next time there is another forum called cosmetic for this, good job....post up a DIY next time

umm not so much, i'd rate the car 6/10 compaired to some of the other cars on here...
Again, what did you use to shave the mouldings? I hope you didnt use bondo

The car has another set of rims for it and no I did not use bondo to fill the moldings, everything has been welded, no ghetto shiat here... Would you prefer some rusty stock tip to that muffler? It has full 2-1/4" exhaust not just the muffler and for what its worth it was on the car when purchased...

This was the second paint job I have ever done, first was an 02 RSX... I was pretty impressed with how it came out, have been doing bodywork for 5-6 years now so I wasn't worried about that part of it. I have done a few mini-trucks so I am into the shaving/clean look.

some cars the shaved look is ok, like the teggy, but any 96-00 civic 2dr the mouldings look hot.
however not bashing your car, im sure that took ALOT of work, so post up a HOW TO!
