1999 Civic Dx Coupe 5-Speed with a D16z6 swap.
Here is the next morning after I got her. It didn't come with the wheels or roof rack. I put those on the night I got her.
I then installed my amp and sub. Nothing fancy, but just wanted a little more from my system. Sony 1200watt amp and Hifonics 12. Can't complain for free.
I then had to address a serious issue. The exhaust was absolutely terrible. So I picked up a muffler from a 2007 Civic Si.
Once it was on the lift I realized it was worse than I had expected. So instead of changing the muffler out I re did the entire exhaust. Its a 2" all the way back to the new Si muffler.
Before
After
I then wanted to dress up a few interior pieces. So I started my CF project.
Makes me feel like a mad scientist lol
Base coat resin on
Laid the carbon fiber weave down
Trimmed a little and top coat of resin on.
More resin
Rough trim and all the resin on
Sanded
Cleared
Results
All alone
I did some maintenance and repaired a few odds and ends here and there I didn't document. More to come on updates. About to start the real project on her very soon.
