Default Just a few pics of my 1998 DX coupe.....Bodykit warning LoL

Well ive been debating putting pics of my car up on here for awhile since my car isnt your typical H-T ABS lip, 15" rim "jdm type" civic. I dont mind a little criticism but if your your gonna be really negative then keep your comments to yourself. The car is going through a couple changes through the winter.

-C-west Style Full Kit
-Shaved side moldings
-Molded Sideskirts
-Shaved trunk
-17 x 7.5 Subzero's on shitty Wanli Tires
-Custom Graphics by http://www.sixoeight.com
-B18b1 Engine swap with GSR Tranny (Auto to manual conversion) All work performed by myself
-Custom Sound system (Eclipse deck, 15" subs x 2, full CDT 3-way components, USA-2000 Sub amp and Tu-600 component amp)

Thats just a brief list of what ive done, theres alot of little detail work but i doubt people spend the time reading those lists anyways.

For next year:
-Mtec Yellow Bulbs
-4-wheel disc brakes
-Topmount manifold, 3"DP
-T3/To4e 60 trim
-Fully built 81.5mm B18a1 engine with PnP head, upgraded valvetrain
-Looking for around 400whp on the built motor turbo'ed

What Seats do you think would suit the car best? the entire interior is matte black btw except the seats and steering wheel.

Here's a couple pics, tarted out with no graphics but i dont have any pics of that on this computer....


Shaved Trunk


This is what we put on our cars in the winter to get around

Its ricey, but not outrages like the rest of them out there. Get a stock trunk and take off all the sticker bullshit, get some stock tailights, and some real ctr headlights and it wouldnt be too bad.

I guess you could call it ricey but i got tired of seeing the same car over and over again with the same front lip and ****. The trunk is definitely staying, the side graphics are coming off for sure, but the upper ones are staying for now. Possibly gonna get real CTR lights or a new set and color match them to the car, i dont think its reasonable to pay $400 for a set of headlights just cause there gunmetal...

Graphics are a lil much. Go with CF hood and call it a day. I like the look of Civics with shaved side moldings, makes them look higher class sorta.

yeah the C-west front is one of the few kits out there that are actually nice. Some people hate the back end and some like it, sometimes it looks odd on certain angles but i like it. The taillights are from TYC so its not like there shitty quality. Thanks for the comments, right now all im concerned with is going Turbo.

Yeah the side graphics was kinda a last minute thing before a show so it was rushed on the sides and wasnt placed exactly where it was suppose to. I was going to go with a CF hood and Trunk but the cost turned me away from that idea aswell as carbon fiber is so played out that its almost more common to see a cf hood than an oem hood on a civic.

thanks for the comments

I guess ill be nice and give some constructive...

Unlike Excessive said, I actually dislike the shaved side moldings..The car would look better with stock moldings, and the OEM Trunk and Tails...just my .02.

All in all i give you a for not giving a expletive what people have to say on a forum board, just do you, and what you like

Thanks for the criticism, ive thought about going to a stock trunk but i dunno if its just up here in Toronto but every civic looks exactly the same. If I was to go back to stock id probably still have the inner tails shaved but leave the plate area there but because i dont like the way the inner tails look that much.

Which would you guys go for...
-Bride Brix in grey or black
-Black RSX Leathers
-Sparco Siena grey/black

???

No way 2 positive comments in a row , j/k. All the body panels fit almost perfect, im not gonna pretend that custom work is ever 100%. There are a few minor gap issues and I had a problem with getting the color matched when i had to repaint the front bumper but that should be fixed next year along with actually finished parts of the car.

possibly authentic, my buddy has a set of black ones but I dont exactly fit in them LoL. My only gripe with the RSX seats is leather sucks in the winter time up here especially if they dont have seat warmers.
