EightPointSix Si Coupe Build!

[eightpointsix]

What's up guys! I figured I'd start a build thread for my 2012 Civic Si Black Coupe. She's a week and 2 days old and still bone stock except for the window tints I just had done this past Wednesday. So she's essentially a blank canvas. My idea as of right now is to black her out and just make her super mean looking. And yes, 99% of the time I will use references like "her and she" because it is no longer a car, it is my baby. So be on the look out for updates and I would LOVE suggestions and feedback on what I should do. I used to do a lot of cosmetic and motor work to my motorcycles, but now I'm looking to make this car badass looking.. So all feedback, help, and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Here is the car as of this morning (10/11/13):

She's a good looking ride. The "inside and out" forum, or the DIY forum for exterior style may give you some mod ideas. I'd take a look around there if you're wanting to do style mods. My signature has links for a lot of performance mods.

Just tape a square around the emblem and some news paper around it to avoid over spray.
Spray 2-3 coats,let dry, then peel away the plasti dip and it will stick to your emblem.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to do that tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to post up photos

Blacked out the emblems today! Sorry about the glare. I also slapped on a sticker as well :P

I'm going to be blacking out the tail lights and plasti dipping the rims hopefully tomorrow!

I believe the manufacturer has stopped producing those due to consumer feedback and has put a new design out.

Do you have a link to the newer versions? I prefer blacked out headlights but would rather not actually do it myself. I'd rather aftermarket ones.

How hard is it to do an HID conversion? I've looked at certain threads but I haven't really looked into it. What are the pros and cons?

I like the black housings, but I would definitely smoke/tint/overlay them too with a black/dark grey car.

I will let you know around end of December/early January. I plan on doing a quad setup.

Anyone on here have a black si with tinted headlights?

And that sounds like a plan to me!
