wow, the custom stuff looks good, I hope it's all metal...

The front bumper, what is that a kit for a Cavalier... that **** don't fit man. And the hood and the light/bumper don't meet up.

Rear is not bad, but I find the 96-98 Civic rear with 1.6 EL outers looks best.

Oh yes, lotsa hard work, looks great, yada yada yada...

A suggestion... if this is your showpiece, and you are truly proud of it, and will be showing this for your shop... I would have to say to go with a darker color to really show the quality of the work.

I guess working at a body shop as its benefits.

I'm not a big fan of visual hybrids.

As long as team rukus likes it, that's all that matters.

Ha no the roof thingy isnt functional. He'll explain how the front doesn't align perfectly. It'll probably get fixed eventually.

After a swap, that car will be totally done all around.

Did that start off as a Civic or an EL?! I'm thinking Civic...

Looks like it took a lot of hard work! Looking good! Good job!

some crazy bodywork...you gotta look different for a civic to stand out at a show these days, this pretty well takes care of being different...

I like it Team Rukus, it does a good job of showing what kind of bodywork you guys can do at your shop.

IMO this car has some pretty decent potential..

some suggestions:

- 18" RO_JA's, Gewalts
- fix the side bodylines
- not really a big fan of roof scoops on honda's

other than the body lines, this car has the potential to be one of the more dominant 4dr show cars...

i'd def. like to see progress on this car!

I noticed that the passenger side fender and the front bumper do not line up at all. That jolted out at me first. And also how the side skirts have a crack going through them in the middle ??


Get some nice rims, interior, and that would be a crazy show car

Thanks for the pics Tman
and thanks for all the comments guys.

the thing on the side skirts is not a crack LOL
its a wire that i use for now to open my doors cuz i didnt install the poppers yet (on order from autoloc).
the front bumper is **** i hate it for all the people who want to get blue class bumpers here is first class look at the **** they make.
this civic is a work in progress it has no interior in it the dash is just put on temporarily and so is the rear deck lid.
it is a 2000 honda civic with a EL rear conversion.
i went wit a different look cuz everyone and their mom is doing up pure 2drs and 3 drs and i wanted to be different but at the same time have something going on like a nsx side so i just did it.
its fully made out of sheetmetal (the sides and fenders) as it stands rite now i am waiting for complete interior, alarms, front end RE adjustment and repaint (scrapped it), and some nice rota circuit 8's with a carbon fibre hood to match it. and some el mirrors. roof is non functional and i jus did it for the **** of it.
i jus slapped some stuff together so people see wat kinda stuff i can get done for peeps. and yea bruno ur rite i shuld've went with a dark colour but i always wanted a pearl white paintjob so i went with the 2003 nissan murano glacier pearl white. car is MAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD DIRTY it needs a nice wash ad wax. front end isnt alignd properly cuz i was rushin the car to be ready for Import Fest and found out it got delayed so sry bout that. soon to be....
keep the comments commin guys. a few membeers saw my car
