I have to say this is one of the best RS I've seen, I am not a big fan of aftermarket stuff, cause they usually look out of place, even the good nice quality ones.
the whole car is complete with factory parts, nice and clean!!!! love it...wish I got the money for that now....

Die Civic:
can you give a detailed list of what has actually done to your car?(like molded skirts, shaved sides...etc) and if you don't mind, how much did it actually cost you for each mod? thanks!!!!

Everything looks really cool. I especially like what you did with those 'lil vents under the front turn signals.

thanks for the compliments guys!

Well basically the cost was dumb cheap, around 100 bucks total, my dad owns a body shop, so all I do is pay for the paint, some of the body filler, and whatever other equipment i needed to get it done. I just helped with the labor, total time it took was about 12 hours. What took the most time was the moldings to be shaved, we had to pull t he old ones off, strip the door panels off, strip out the window, strip out the wiring, then weld it, add some rage gold body filler, sand it, re plaster it, sand it, until it was perfect, and i mean perfect, then i dont know how much it took to paint the car, and the vents took about 3 hours to cut, sand, add the body filler, sand down, then prime n paint.

Jay, yeah I was worried about door dings too but then again I rarely park in a public place, i'll almost always park in the lot when i have the chance to. if I do park in a public place, i usually take the spot thats really far where no one else wants to park, so theres no cars around me.
