Before the paint (after the front end conversion) :




After the paint :




A little Rice in us all...

Nice type r mirrors. Looks way better than spoons. Should have painted the lip and skirts. A little more drop and it would look good. Fogs don't look good painted.

Sorry.. Its not a Maaco Paint job... I just used that as a title... Well... I thought about painting the rest but I wanted somehthing a little different than everyone else and I didnt want to deal w/ chipped up and scratched up lips... As you all can see, I had painted side skirts previously and I didnt like them painted! I wanted something that was going to stand out rather than blend in w/ the car... Anyways... To the guy who said I should paint the fog light covers NO WAY!!! They look painted IMO... I want to slam it but I dont have much left in the rear to go but the front... Thats another story We'll see.... Sam, I had a family recomendation (his name is Auggi) paint it for me... (I dont recomend him; charged too much and not that great of a paint job) O-well Thanks for the comments guys.. .Cya

Well... My point exactly... I didnt want to be like everyone else... Its not a matter of "it looks better" its the point that 6 out of 10 (excluding my two posts) are in reguards to painting the lip and or side skirts... If I had painted them, I would have looked like every other dark red colored Civic... Cya

Yeah the CTR headlights for the 96-98 are pretty tight but I think the 99-00 front bumper &gt; 96-98 front bumper ... O-well.... Thanks for the positive comments!!! Cya

i don't think that not painting your lip and side skirts 'set your car apart' from any other civic - just makes it look more stock. as long as you like it though, thats what matters
