did you end up painting them yourself or had someone do it?




BTW, there are different sections on TCC, not everything gets posted in Discussion..

they look like they turned out pretty good!

but like you said, might need another coat of clear, they dont seem to have the same shine as the body??

i would get the rear too, took me a while to get my rear but it finishes the look of the car really nicely, otherwise looking at the car sideways the rear is higher then the rest of the car kinda just looks silly after i put the rear on, everything sat well, dropped the car about 1.3" and its jus NICE, bought new rims too (GP) cant wait to install them!

I got a set of 17" black rims that would look good on your car.

**** off with the 17" rim ****, it's a civic. install the rear lip, you will see that it will make the car look alot better from the rear end.

Having the lip on the rear of the car, as well as the front, is generally a good look.

Looks good man!


I painted mine flat black (car is electron blue) and now the front lip is almost blue again...lol, sand blasted from all the driving I do. I'll have to repaint em again soon.

And yeah, you need some nice wheels...but don't go huge. Don't need to go over 16". Anything bigger on a civic looks silly and the tire cost goes through the roof.

Thanks, your car is a work in progress also isn't it.. at least you got your whole exhaust system set up nice..
what are some major future plans for your car..?
Rims will be put on this summer.. once I get some money rolling.
