Well I bought the '98 hatch back in Feb of this year... The previous owner had a **** bomb paint job done on it and side skirts and a few things missing...

After market side skirts that were molded onto the car, 17" wheels, and no grill at all. It had broken motor and torque mounts, along with a broken exhaust system.


Well, I decided to get things different with it... I got rid of the shitty white paint, that started to chip and flake off the car 3 months after I bought it, and bought some Dupli-Color Satin Khaki for the hatch.

Along with an Si-R lip, that I borrowed currently from my girlfriend, and along with my old Civic Type R spoiler, Civic Type R mirrors, 99-00 tails, EP3 wheels, Tokico Illuminas with H+R Red springs, STOCK exhaust, and the regular upgrades people progressively make... here it is currently.






















Let the flaming begin for doing a rattle can job.

Future plans will be... Back Yard Special spoiler inserts, OEM Honda square fog lights (clear) and either a Mugen front lip or a Honda OEM Type R lip. I've already installed the mud guards, and looking into powder coating some parts as well.

Powder coating ideas for the wheels for fun... Wanting to try something different for around here in the Saint Louis area.

Purple #2...


Black...


Blue #2...


Dark Green...


White wheels with black lug nuts....


and many people have told me to try a dark red... So for them...


Of course I did this quickly on photoshop and also keep in mind the headlights will be darkened as well.

Note... These really did turn out too well, lol

 

Also to clarify, this is my Daily Driver.

 

Mugen front lip and BackYard Spoiler brackets will be ordered next week!

 

i like the color

 

wow just like my old 5g hatch

 

Do you have to spray that like flat black? Because if so, you did pretty good with that. It looks good imo, and a clear coat would be sick-er.

I like the plans for it

 

Loving the color

 

Nice car. and thumbs up on the rattle can job. It looks good. I would go with either the white or black wheels.

 

is that hood cf??lol

 

It isn't a CF hood, it is the stock one. I had it Khaki, but personally it was too much Khaki with not enough accents on the front of the car... So i painted it Flat Black just so make it a little better... but I'm still not happy with it.

I could buy a CF hood or have the hood and the roof sprayed Granada black, but who knows.

Thanks for the comments and when I get the new parts in, I'll post more pics.

 

Good lookin hatch, I like the '96 fronts a lot better. Shoulda painted the hood too though, nice car.

 

Well, after thinking today... I need to get a CF hood, for when I install the spoiler brackets for the CF Type R wing, it will flow a bit better too.

and the Flat black hood bugs me too... lol

 

Looks awesome Josh. *GMR* FTW

 

We need to do a GMR photoshoot...
