Civicvtec1ps, SoCaLep3, IceD out N CALI, halos02Si, halos02Si: I knew I was with the minority in painting the interrior, but im going for a black/red look and the red about matches the red head rest insert. I used red krylon fusion paint with a matt finish to replicate the stock finish. I picked up a fabric insert from a guy on ebay that matches the seats with red stitching for the doors.

02TafWhtSi: Yeah, I was originally going to go with the Type R style, but I wanted carbon fiber and not too many people are going with the full mugen look so it was a good fit. Its definately grown on me and I actually prefer it now to the type r look. Ive had nothing but compliments since I put it on.

Wow, I gotta say really nice car, because that looks almost IDENTICLE to mine, with more shit on it. On my black egg I got the same CTR skirts, phillips HIDs, S2k startup button (on the wrong side...damn you!), and I was planning on smoking my tails out. It looks like you didn't add a gloss coating to them however...or did you? Also, I would be on 17's right now, but the money for that went to fixing an un-insured shitface drunk mexican fucker driving a herse at 730 in the morning into my front end while I was stopped at a light.

Anyway, yea, Im not too hot about the red interior pieces, but fukin' props on the suede door panels with red stitching...how did you do that / how much? Very nice :)

thanks...i didnt apply the clear coat yet, i wanted to allow the tint spray a chance to setup and bond before a coat was added on top. I plan on smoking the front of the car as well, only with one coat of spray as opposed to the two that went on the rear.
The red inserts were bought from a guy on ebay that precuts the material for a few different model civics and other cars. Its a major pain in the ass and probably wouldnt do it again if I had known how much of a project it would be. Anyway, thanks for the compliments and keep up the good work;)

what kind of door panels are those i like that but for the red inserts on console i say if u could of got them darker red would rock but that is pink/very bright red not really digin that ish. i also am goin for my black egg to be a black with red accents. have fun hope u put some more mods on it would complete the hot/semi riced black egg. hehe

the red almost matches the stitching in the seats. The pictures dont show the true color. It has a matt finish on it that is the same as the silver was. it looks totally different in person.
As far as mods go, im probably about half way into this project.
By the way this little egg came packaged in a no rice carton;)

I did have some rubbing after I got an alignment, so I had to readjust my camber, no longer rub. Not sure how far from the pike you are, but im usually down there either friday or sat night. Theres another VBP EP thats been down recently and I think recently joined here. Oggy boogy from the board also comes down sometimes. Im down for a CT meet anytime, just give me a heads up.

Thanks, more pics will be up shortly, im planning on lightly tinting the front lights as well as soon as I get a set of fog lights to help offset the lost light. If you wanna read a more about it, heres a thread that talkes about tinting taillights.

thanks! about the wing, I didnt paint it. I dont understand why you would paint carbon fiber body pieces. Its not going to save that much weight, so if you wanted to color match, just by fiberglass/urethane. Carbon fiber on a black car looks bangin IMO, cant go wrong.

Eric,
I didnt paint the wing, its the carbon fiber wing from showstoppers. I did the mod myself, took about 20 min or so to get it to fit then used an expandable waterproff sealant to fill in the hole.

Thanks, the paint is krylon red fusion. It does have a matte finish sprayed on top. The finish is the same as the stock silver, blends in with the dash and adjustment controls perfectly.

the KW's have been on for almost two months and about 5k miles. (road trip to fla :D ) I do get a little squeaking noise from the front when going over good size bumps at slow speeds, but all in all very pleased with ride and stability.

I dont understand why you would paint carbon fiber body pieces
I think it's mostly painted on performance cars, which have pretty much the whole body made of cf, therefore really reducing the weight, most show cars leave it for show, and ppl with just hoods/wings like it most of the time.

Sorry but the system looks messy, i'm sure it sounds good just not too clean of an install. The red interior cheapens up the car. :'( Rims and skirts are nice though.

I appreciate your comments, but the system is something that took about 2 months to get set and if I come off defensive its because it took many many many hours to plan out and instal. There are no wires anywhere to be seen, the only thing that looks out of place is the freakin huge box sitting in the trunk (where would you suggest putting a JL 12w7?). I take great pride in my car and the way it looks, and will defend it as much as i would my GF. Not sure what your looking at but what is messy about it? :confused:.

As for the red, its different/unique and goes with the black/red scheme of the car. I know your just giving your opinion, which is what Im looking for by posting pics, I just take a lot of pride in the way i mod my car.

Looks very nice, good work.

I think the mud flaps actually help out the side skirts flow better with the lines of the car. Without the mud flaps the side skirts sit much lower then the rear bumper and don't line up. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad on black, but from what I've seen on silver color it does not look that good, a rear bumper that is lower then stock would help quite a bit.

Does that neuspeed rear sway bar hit the exhaust ever?

As some of you guys/gals already know, I totaled my 1st love :'( awhile back on the way to pick up a hondata flash from a member here. Luckily no one was hurt other than my baby. I was lucky to get almost what I owed on her back from insurance and rolled the little neg equity I had into the financing of my new one. I found a new 02 sittin in the showroom of a local dealership and got a pretty good deal on it. I managed to save every part except for the X-brace and am in the process of transferring them onto the white one. Ill post completed pics once ive had a chance to put her all back together. Here are some of the pics.

Didnt ask, the engine still runs fine, i swapped out the steering wheel with my roomates 99ex, and absolutely stripped the car. I gave it back with only the rear suspension on, which was held in place by the weight of the car, nothing connected to the block, and a huge pile of garbage in the back. :eek:.
