Thats some Uncle Ben's wild rice right there. j/k. It looks good. You might be getting alot of rice comments from this site though.

You better have a ------- turbo on that....car. Actually, you better have two of them, the big ones. :-\


Why did you do that? ???

hahahahahaha, I like the little things at the bottom of the head lights that try to make your car look like an rsx, I have paper and red spraypaint here, I think I'm going to go do that to my car.

I know it's ricey, that's my thing. BUT, I am making a turbo kit right now, I just ran out of money due to paint costs. :( I'm hoping to finished the turbo kit sometime in may and get it on asap. It's a t25 (i know...small) and 450cc, afc, 10 psi...blah blah blah. I"m stoked about getting it on, I'm skick of driving a slow car.

how much did you spend on the paint job

I like it, except for those headlight things, those taillights are pimp. Take off those headlight things for real.

Seriously. Are they made out of construction paper?

The paint looks badass, but the rest of the car is puke IMO. That is my opinion and I'm glad we all have different opinions and tastes.

With what youve spent so far you could of built a bad ass turbo kit....but like you said,its your thing :-\

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
the paint looks really good, and the tailights are awesome. the cars clean minus the front bumper, im not a fan of the wild fronts. those headlight things gotta go, but the vents are different. all in all, i like it man

o btw, im rice 2 ;)

the head light things have got togo. the paint looks good considering their probably 2 gallons of bondo on the body. most kits look all wavy.

Xplocivic 03-29-2004 08:31 PM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
I'm actually digging the side scoops but the rest of the car is poo, in my opinion. I guess the paint job is nice, but the color doesn't do anything for me.

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
Really clean, looks good accept for the rice, it would be nice to be fast to back up how good it looks, so people on the street don't think you are a ricer and race you in there Geo Metro and win. Get rid of the headlight things, they are like the opposite of eyebrows.

DraginX 03-29-2004 08:56 PM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
I like it, looks pretty clean. But honestly get rid of what ever the hell it is you put on the headlights. Besides that the rest isn't too bad. The tails don't seem to match the rest of the car IMO either. Good job, now go get the turbo on there to back it up! :P

crxrx7 03-29-2004 09:03 PM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
thank God there is no wing on there. that would be banishment. (shhhhh. I have a body kit too. and it isn't even painted all the way. I am the envy of rice.) At least yours is white rice. No side of dirty rice here.

redteg 03-29-2004 10:22 PM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
i like it but lose the headlight things whatever those are and maybe shave the door handles

mahcivic 03-29-2004 10:29 PM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
to me looks dont matter. if i had a skyline then looks would matter. but since i try a 1990 civic hatch. im just gonna leave the body the way it is. i prefer to spend money on the motor and handling aspects of cars rather than looks. but overall i like they color but the body kit doesnt do much for me :) as long as it makes you happy, then its all good

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
oh man what the ---- were you thinking about the headlights? look good though over all ...i like those rims youi have im just about done with my eg coupe too just a litlle more sanding and black with gold pearl is goin on....

MikeJ-2009 03-29-2004 10:52 PM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
In Stealthmodes opinion:

You must lose the headlight deals. The 92-95 are blessed with the best looking headlights ever, and you cover them up. :D

Given the bodykit and bright color, you can still be in compliance with stealthmode regulations as long as you get some type of ALL BLACK WHEELS. (not even polished lips will do) ALL BLACK. And tint the windows as dark as you can. You may be considered a ricer, but these three very important mods can bring you back into the edge of compliance.
Don't worry, we all have our "bling, bling" days, I did. But now I have a different opinion, and that's all it is.
Time, money, and dedication always gets props though. ;)

the paint looks good that's for sure, lose the head light paper eyebrow things and like stealth said, some black or gun metal rims would set it off, and that's a shame about your back license plate, but i actually think the rest looks nice.

DutchPug 03-30-2004 07:12 AM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
Nice paint. But like everybody said; you GOT to lose the head light things and buy some black rims.

davcivic 03-30-2004 08:03 AM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
Well I give you props for coming up with the ideas we see, I think they do look pretty good, except for the headlights, those eye lid things look out of place, but I really like everything else, the paint looks awesome.


Now turbo that Biatch and you will have a lot of people's respect, but if all you have down there is your d15 to back up your looks, then I would say what a waste of money, but I know you will trubo it soon, so I like it.

pa2play 03-30-2004 08:10 AM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
ok guys, i'm losing the headlight things. Actually they are made out of molded plexy glass, not cardborad. And yes, like I said before I am going to back up the rice with some go very soon. My hobby is body work, so thats why I did all the rice, and then my friend got me into engines just a few months ago and gave me a turbo and some other free stuff to get me started...It's coming, i'll let you all know when my turbo is done.

davcivic 03-30-2004 08:12 AM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
If you did all the work, damn, your good, and the body work, and paint look clean as hell.

I know you said before you will back up the looks with some go, that's cool

pa2play 03-30-2004 08:33 AM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
Yes I did all the body work my self, 1st time I ever had to weld was shaving my door moldings. I also made my own side skirts so that no one else would have the same ones that I do. The red taillights are stock tails painted with transparent red, (model paint) then clear coated over them when the rest of the car was painted to give them more of a stock look. At least I don't have altezza's like everyone and their mom. ;)

hahaha man you are right, the car will look a lot better with an intercooler up front, black rims would not be too bad either, it'll give it more of a racing look.

I wish I could do body work like that :'( :'( :'(

hmmmmm test fit....... :-\


Are you sure you didn't buy an intercooler to put on the front of your car so people would think you have a turbo :-\ It looks like its been on there for a while considering its covered in snow.

pa2play 03-30-2004 04:24 PM

Re:Got my civic painted...finally! check it out
 
actually I put it on the night before It snowed, I stored my car for the winter. I'm not that low of a poser :)
