My civic was completely stock until I got it tinted yesterday. I also just got in some Silver Rota SS's and an APEXi WS Exhaust comin in. I don't have any pics of the wheels on the car yet.


My car with tint:
The tint is 50 on the windows, 35 everywhere else including the sunroof and front strip.

leave the interior out, and take out the rest...

 

put the interior back in trust its not work the 20 lbs.

interior looks clean for a 96, did you clean the side metal rears and under the rear seat.

i didn't know they have to strip the car to tint it, maybe cause i drive a hatch

btw..those rims are gonna look nice on there man..oh yah..you weird lookin toes

 

I'm no genius and my windows are tinted (had it done of course), but my interior remained in the car while it was being done... I still don't get it??!?!

 

well..if and when you ever take out your interior..you will see the cutting where the tinters did it. I did the same thing to my friends SI....as they could have a more nice cut on the line..as welll as get the cut way down further..without the panels in there.

exactly. i didn't want the "brake light hole" in my tint

I'm putting the interior back in, i broke a clip on one of the side panels and I had to order another one from Honda, so it'll be a couple of days

oh yea my toes are all grimy from working outside on my car all day, those sandals are my work sandals

 

cool make sure you post some pics when you get the tint and rims


did you go with charcoal tint or reflective mirrorish

dark tint. I think I'm going to resize these pics. WTDR is taking a while to load

 

i say you pull the carpet! if your going to gut your car then pull the carpet too! But if your gonna put the plastics back in then leave the carpet! Just my .03.

 

yikes how did your tail pipe become that rusted?

 

i hate tint okay im done just wanted to share that with you guys

 

the ex valve covers didn't say vtec?

 

the 96-00 ex's only say HONDA on the cover. no VTEC

 

nice rims

yeah have to agree...I like them in that color.

 

Thanks for all the replys guys. I resized the pics. The car looked good without the tint, but it's so freakin hot down here in south Louisiana, that I NEED it. I have the dark charcoal interior and it heats up the inside of my car bad. Plus the place I get to do it does a real clean job, and it's lifetime warranty.

I also put up a pic of the tint.

Oh yea, the rusted tail pipe is some Midas muffler the previous owner had put on their because his other one crapped out or something. The guy never did anything to his car, he just brought it to a shop when the owner's manual told him too. (At the specified maintainance intervals and such.)

 

the tint came out looking nice. btw, i understand what you mean about the heat. i'm not much further from baton rouge. post some pics up when you put on the exhaust and the rotas. what are you planning to drop it with?

Well, it'll be a while before I get some more money, but I was planning on getting KYB AGX Adjustable shocks, and H&R Sport Springs

I haven't really researched it yet though, I want to lower it as much as I can w/o having camber problems.

 

good start

 

the kyb agxs are really good i have them and wouldnt change them for anything else. too bad the price on them just increased prior to a year ago when i got mines. good luck on youre project

edit - every trips out on the fact there adjustable. seing the switch on top of youre shock from the engine bay

 

OK, I've got some pics of my wheels on, and a couple more pics. I haven't put the exhaust on yet, that's for tommorow. Enjoy!!





More toys!!
