Default The Official White Ice Build Thread!!!

This will serve to be the Official White Ice Build Thread. I have a few ideas for my civic mostly crazzy and fun kinda things.... All creative criticism is appreciated all flamming or hating is not. If you have something negative to say please use tack.

Thank you.

And now on to the pictures....

This is the car about two months after I got it... I know it does not look like much but this my daily driver, and the wife and kid come first and they take up a lot of my time.
A view from the front:


I found these at a local junkyard and paid about $250 for them:



I will try to get more up as I can.

Thanks I am trying to clean up the looks by replacing the rear bodykit bumper with a stock bumper and ,ower lip kit, replacing the headlights with the black housing ones, and then more work on the interior. I am hoping to end up going with the a crazy nintendo theme.

I think that they are a lot more comfortable than the old worn out stock seats, not to mention the cool factor.

I got really lucky... I found them at a local yard and the car had not been at the yard even a full week when I found it. Part of the reaon for the good price is that the thread that holds two of the panels in the lower part of the seat together was broken. My wife has taken care of that though.

I can't speak for the05-06s but I am happy with the seats I got from an 04. The only complaint I have is that I have not gotten the seatbelts from the RSX yet so when I put the Civic buckles on they are way low and kinda a pain to get to. But hey they look good don't they?

In my experience, the RSX seats aren't comfortable whatsoever and the leather ones can't hold you for **** in a turn. It's like Honda uses KY jellied seal skin for their Acura leather or something. Honestly: bolster the things more tightly or have some suede inserts to keep me from flying out the passenger window when I take a sharp left.

As a matter of fact I was thinking about getting some dark grey suede panels made and put in the middle. I think the contrast would be nice.

Yeah it is kinda ricey right now... I am planning on getting rid of the headlights and thanks to the weather I have decided to nix the rear bodykit piece. I am planning on leaving the front bumper on there because I like it.

I am planning on eventually getting with a local vinyl guy here to create custom side graphics.... I am thinking about getting something like the graphics from the Fast and the Furious just instead of using the robot looking guys I was thinking about having Mario or Lugi in kinda a flying superman pose.... It would be funny.

Haha j/k. Sounds like your car isn't going to be Honda-tech friendly for long. I suggest you close the build thread from the rest of us before comments get out of hand.
