98 civic EX, better late than never.

[leothelion]

This is my first civic. I came down with a case of "riceification" when i started on her. So most of my time has been going back and fixing all that.

Basically i need to fix all this.

Now for pics: I know this all looks horrible, but believe me, Im working hard to get it into a decent shape.

These are the leather seat covers I want to get. comes with front and back.

This is the shift knob Im going to get:

here are some updated pics of the interior: just put my flat black center consol back in. looks great. especially with my new e-brake. now all i need is the new shifter and the shift boot.

lol i know i know i know. thats why i put the preference up at the top. I got done with it a few months ago and sat back and just said....this looks like crap, then i found club civic and have since been working on changing everything up.

basicly, almost everything that is read wont be there, the floor mats, door inserts, roof slider, roof hardware, steering wheel cover, seat covers, shifter and ebrake, and any other trim that is red will all be either painted black or replaced with a black part. the only red that will be in there will be the stitching on the seats and boots, and maybe a accent here and there. but like i said, its a work in progress.

[leothelion]

seriously? like...do you people not know how to read? i said im in the process of DE RICING IT LIKE 5 TIMES!!!! lol. i guess there is no sense in yelling at the illiterate since they can't read it anyways.

Update* just sprayed my front pillars and sunroof trim black

because he wants to?

maybe he likes the way he did his car? maybe he only wants to take off a few things and keep other things that you consider "rice", after all its His car. Who cares if its rice or even bananas it is His car. I swear half the people on this forum think everyones car should look EXACTLY the same and if it doesn't they think it should be changed immediately. When you change everything you do to please others you are called a Conformist.


do you.

thanks. auto's have there place, and honestly for a dd it can be very useful, but I would really really like to get back into a stick. thats half the reason why im updating this car, so i can sell it at a decent price.
