[Marchael]

So after recently becoming more active on this site, I've decided to start a build thread to track my progress on my LX. Just an intro bout myself: I'm currently 20, in college, and got my civic as my first car after graduating highschool in 2011. Car is progressing slowly cuz of school and work, but hopefully, this year is a faster year with more mods to come! Got a lot of plans by the end of summer! So, without further a due ~

Grill looks so much better than the stock chrome piece.

UPDATE: After constant searching of the best paint quotes for my grille, finally came across a reasonable price to get it painted! Dropped it off earlier, and will have it back by tomorrow!
