I purchased this vehicle 13 years ago in 2004, I love her just as much today as I did the first day I saw her. I have tried my very best to keep her as nice as possible both cosmetically and mechanically. I bought this car with limited mechanical knowledge, and with this help of this forum, I have now completed jobs like: Clutch, Timing/Water pump, I even took the whole cylinder head off to have it re machined when I had a bad valve.
I love this car so much, I am almost scared to take her out of the garage any more lol! I just wanted to share her with my fellow Honda heads, I am sure you will enjoy!
Details: 1990 Honda Civic Si, everything is stock on this car except the wheels, stereo and engine (JDM B18C GSR).

what do you use for the black trim on the doors and bumper?
A few years back I bought a can of black trim paint from the auto parts store, carefully taped off the rest of the car with painters tape and newspaper, and went to town!

Yeah the exhaust right now is hanging a little low due to an old worn out exhaust hanger. With a new hanger it sits much closer "tucked" into the bumper and makes a world of difference.

Did you use the same product on the trim piece under the wipers?

Actually I have never had to paint that part. Luckily I have been able to keep her garaged most of her life, so that trim piece hasn't faded a whole lot.

Majority of the exhaust is custom made 2.25 inch pipe by a local exhaust shop, I have a DC Sports 4-2-1 Header, High flow cat, a Magnaflow resonator and Muffler, I bought the dual exhaust tip at some auto parts store a gazillion years ago. The car sounds great in my opinion, aggressive but not obnoxiously loud.

Consider painting your valve cover sometime, it'd be an easy, fun, cheap project for you to do
Thanks! The valve cover is pretty beat up because the hood has always rested on it. I have always been too much of a chicken to start cutting up my hood, unless I did that, repainting the VC wouldn't really make sense.
