My Civic Coupe SI Project...

[epioidz]

i got my honda si last oct. 3, 2011... been using it almost everyday since then. im now starting my project of converting it to a very nice ride.
i have it in black with navi system and body kit installed. i recently added a tow hook and license plate holder.
done some tint including the tail lights...

next upgrade:
-JDM honda emblem front and back
-HID headlights and yellow fogs
-lowering springs (want it lowered)
-a nice set of rims (but ill just paint it to save some $$$) http://www.***************/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png
-mugen spoiler wing?!?! if it fits
-mugen visor

-engine and performance upgrade as my last upgrade for my car...

*** suggestions and ideas are open>>> http://www.***************/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png

Very nice, lookin good.

I sound like a broken record but.... resonator delete? Free mod that acts like buying an air intake. More power better sound & throttle response.

Any specific paint that you need to use for the calipers?

You can get red caliper paint from autozone/pep boys/strauss

Thank you so much Wanga Now I know what I will be doing for my next Project Btw how long do you have to wait for the paint to dry out completely?

 

[webby]

it will say on the can,... but I know some dry to the touch in around 30 min.

What is this resonator delete? I've heard about it but not quite sure what it entails?

i think it dupli-color.. and yeah, u can buy it from those stores. i got mine from strauss, it comes as a package, with caliper cleaner and u have the option of spray or the liquid paint.. we chose the liquid paint so we can only paint parts we want with lesser time..

we put 3 coats. took us 10-15 mins. each coat..

last june 29, 2012, me and my buddy started a project of painting my stock rims. i asked around for professional painting, some estimate cost $600 for powder coating and $400 for painting. since i don't wanna spend too much, we decided to paint it ourselves....

here's the result of our work!

p.s. not a professional painter, lol!!

from this...


to this... finished product..


here's how it looks on my car..










what do you think guys?

 

[WhiteFG4]

Looks pretty good! Did you have to remove the tires to paint? And how did you get that red line on the lip? And what paint did you use? Thanks!

 

[epioidz]

nope... i used flash cards to cover the tires.. i used dupli-color spray paint that i got from autobarn

i'm planning to do a DIY on painting rims with lip soon...

thanks!!
