Cheap Things to do to your 96-00 Civic

What kinda pin stripes? Painted on or taped on?

You can remove taped pin stripes the same way you remove emblems and decals. DO NOT USE A CREDIT CARD OR ANYTHING SIMILAR! You will damage your clearcoat. Be warned, the pin stripe will probably tear every couple of millimeters and will take forever to remove. I'd do it over a period of a few days probably.

You can always change your cluster and interior bulbs to any color you want. I recommend blue or orange, search for DIY's.

You can change your dome light bulb to an LED bulb so that theives will break your dome light cover just to get the uber cool lightbulb.

Search for LED bulbs. I had one and it was brighter, but gentler on my eyes too.

I just finished changing out all the fabric on my doorpanels, center console, sun visors, and i even custom stitched a shift boot. Little things like that will make a pretty big difference on the interior of your car.

Basic maintenance.. namely timing belt/water pump, at proper intervals.. THAT is a cheap DIY, compared to if it breaks...

Hey can somebody post a DIY for stitching fabric like leather that DOESNT stretch? I wanna re-wrap my dash cuz i did a horrible job.

 

[tye]

try a search on this site or honda-tech.com I known I've seen them for normal fabric, so it would be similar for leather too I believe.
