Niiiiice. I've had my eye one one for a while but they're just so damn expensive up north.
tell me about it.. took me a long time to find this one. I'm glad i found one with nav.
awesome.. what plans do you have for it? and you have an 8th gen coupe? you love your civics

but why the red pin stripe?
plans as of right now are Hfp lips all around. and possibly ep3 hfp wheels. but i kind of just want to leave it stock for a while. I'm going to try hard to resist modding. :ugh: but yea. i took a break from honda after my 7th gen. and I'm glad I'm back.. im in love with this car :ricer: the pin stripe is my only gripe. its kind of growing on me. in person its not bad. its actually white and red. and goes along with the red on the car. but im debating removing it.

as for the fg thats my dads, i couldnt resist a side by side shot :D

Congrats pete! Welcome to the indash crew!
thanks! woot
nice, did you sell the alti?
yup sold it to this guy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^
looks even better detailed, i say the hfp kit with maybe some hfp suspension and it will look perfect
thanks adam, i agree. i want your rims too but they can wait. first think ill probably do is get rid of the chrome trim :D

Looks good Pete. Ive always love the 4dr SIs
woot thanks!
yea idk, for some reason i dont think it looks that bad actually with the chrome trim...but its an easy change. When you do get the rims order them from www.collegehillshonda.com, i got mine from there and the parts department is very good and helpful
yea i just liked the paint matched so much better. im actually ordering the piece from that site. i had it bookmarked but on my old computer i just spent like 30min looking for it again. and there you go posting it lol..

im going to try it... not yet though
man that black is real nice. you didn't have the altima for that long did you?
thanks. i had the altima for about 5 years.

very nice peter! good luck with it! the car looks nicer after you detailed it. have fun with it!
thanks stevey wonder. yea the dealer washed and waxed it before i took it. but it got filthy on the drive home with pollen.
 
Discussion starter · #43 ·
yea.. this pic was how it was on the lot. real dirty
Image

and this was after they washed it

pollen is horrible this year, a few hours after i wash its covered again...one good thing i learned is to use the swiffer hand duster thing, works great at removing pollen and doesnt scratch the paint
thanks for the tip :tup:

Thanks roberto.

And yea panda. Its not as fast or as tourqey as the altima is. But its definitely way more fun to drive. I <3 ivtec.

college hills honda ftmfw! i got my hfp kit and crv intake tube from them. talk about perfect service :tup:
changing the chrome to color matched is a must. it looks a lot cleaner. here is a pic of my buddies
hey would you happen to know or could ask your buddy, where he got the color matched trim? college hill doesn't have black. and i cant seem to find it.
