Finally finished the outside makeover! New side skirts, repair and repaint to the front and rear bnumpers, and some fresh paint on the lip.
My friend Isaiah and I pulled the car apart in sunny Kingman Arizona and went to work in the backyard garage.
front bumper needed some massaging....had a big tear for over two years...hid it well with pics!
here's the repair started in the front left corner. tin in the back with pop rivets.
front lip getting prepped. tons of laquer thinner and 220 grit.
some girl hit and ran on my car in the college parking lot about three years ago...again, never noticable in pics. sanded out the bad parts and over the spider cracks.
shaved the front license plate holders while we were at it.
and, here's the car together. Thanks to my friend's dad Scott who laid the paint for me, he's got skillz!

very decent car..does it have a B-series or what?
I think it looked better with the orange markers. Nice little car though. Not many nicely done Civics around here.

Awesome civic man. Good job. Looks real clean. I love that car a lot. That is EXACTLY how I would want my civic to look if I had one. Althought with a white car I would have gone with a dark gun metal grey wheels. However, those rims are sexy as hell too. Just a matter of preference.
Said it once and i'll say it again. Thats a sexy civic. Keep us updated.
nice eg. did u post this up on H-T not too long ago? maybe im dreaming it. anywho, it all flows nice, i personally like the wheels. less is always more on civic appearance.
Looks good man. Nice to see a civic not all riced out
Lovin the Subzeros!
STock or all amber corners would be better IMO.
For some reason the mirrors dont look right being ALL stock color

I have to agree on that... I liked his amber corners better when he had them.
I don't care if the current one's are "RARE" or "for those who know"
I like the amber look
