Default My 2000 EBP EM1 (56K no no)

Hi heres my 2000 Honda Civic Si Electron Blue Pearl. 33,000 Miles w00t. Heres the first thread i made: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1053750

Comment, Bash, Praise it, Whatever! Gimmie your guys opinions and let me know what you think i should do/change/etc. And make fun of my photography skills while your at it cuz i know they suck.

I wont drop it anymore because i can barely get up the driveway as it is without scraping. I wont take the pedals/gauges out cuz i like them. And i wont change that dirty clear plastic floor mat =P. Other than that have fun.

Yah so heres some pics of it a couple months ago...

-Eibach Prokit 1" Springs
-Sylvania Silverstar Headlamp Bulbs
-Ziebart undercoat
-Sports Pedals
-Indigo 2 Color White Face Gauges
-Tinted Windows
-Honda Front Emblem Taken Off
-Painted Fog Lights =D
-Grill

If anyone even cares or want to know this is the procedure i use to keep my car clean.

1) Wash (Meguiars NXT Wash / Chenille Wash Pad)
2) Dry (The Absorber)
3) Clay (Meguiars Clay System w/ Quik Detailer)
4) Clean (Meguiars Scratch X w/Meguiars Yellow Pad)
5) Polish (Meguiars Step 2 Polish w/ Yellow Pad)
6) Wax (Meguiars NXT Wax w/ NXT Pad)
7) Meguiars Hot Rims / Tire Gel
8) Dry Door Jams
9) Vacuum Interior (Also Carpet Cleaner)
10) Meguiars NXT Tech Protectant

To make a long story short...Im 17 years old senior in high school, ive worked since i was 14 to buy this car. Im paying for insurance/gas/payments/maintance. Ummm Im currently a broke ****, so once i get some money ill do some basic bolt-ons...CAI/Headers/Exhaust...and we'll see from there.





And here it is in the freezing temps! Just washed/waxed.

Gauges need to go. Leave the stockies on year round and dump it. Car is CLEAN though. I really like how well its been maintained.

I like it except for the mesh in the upper grille, should've just left the stock plastic mesh there. As said above toss the guage overlays.

otherwise still very clean

I bet you could get like 1000 above the blue book value. Depends on who is buying it and if they appreciate the mintness of it.

The stock rims look much better. And like they said before, take out the mesh and gauge overlays. Other than that, it's a clean car

Looks good the only thing I would have kept would be the lower mesh part oem and get rid of those aftermarket wheels along with your gauges...IMO they look nasty. Some rsz-r's would look **** .

Paint looks good, but it should for being only 4-5 years old .
