lol i understand what your saying and im glad to hear your opinion. well for
1. Well the purpple shift knob will have wil have a purple steering wheel, i plan to tie that in with purple lugs on the outside, tow hooks, valve cover, and i have a purple beaks bar. The only thing that will stick out really is the kevlar trim which i did since i have never seen anyone else do it. Im not a fan of the splatter part really either, ive been iffy on it since ive done it and i plan on getting one with the gauge cut outs and i will just keep that one black and when i get home paiting this one just black. I was experimenting with different things and i havent been able to go home to paint it all black. I may also get a carbon fiber gauge piece instead of kevlar just to play with both, and it cost me only 10 bucks.
This would do a lot to keep from all the distractions in the car...but yea, the yellow backlay on the cluster, red/misc splatter cover, shift boot, knob, headliner all being different is SUPER distracting...
2. Stancenation is a site that im part of and just about everyone on it has a stancenation sticker much like clubcivic. Im also on stanceworks a lot
Ok, I will let that pass...lol...
3. I dont have much money due to being in college and a pre-med major currently. my school work load is rough. My car is literally a 30 minute walk away or a shuttle bus ride. Also with my schedule it doesnt provide a time that makes it worth going to work since i have classes scattered through out the day.
I just graduated in December...I would say with the right work ethic you can find time to provide more income whether it be a better paying job or adding/staying a bit more hours each week, although it may just not be something you want to do...I worked 20 hours max all through college, so really not that much either, but I had a decent paying job...
4. Im also part of vwvortex and if you look at their cars, damn near all of them do wrapped pillars and black ice on the mirror. you dont see very many civic people doing that. actually idk if ive ever seen anyone wrap their pillars. I just consider it more of a euro thing since its rare to see a civic have it done, yet i dont think i know anyone with a VW or audi who hasnt done it. I also happen to love black ice in general
On putting Black Ice in cause you love it, you will one day look back and wonder why you did that, as for the wrapping though, it is all over Honda Tech, and me coming from the Mazda Boards, it is all over them as well, so maybe it is just a lot more common then the small Clubcivic community we have...
5. I underststand what your saying and im working on that. The purple will be a small accent color throughout. The valve cover did match before with the theme i had, but i need to buy another VC to repaint. I plan on having a gold bay since i also have gold rims and the valve cover will be purple to match the other colors. The ac bracket i actually didnt paint, my friend did it and the dip stick without me knowing because he though it was funny to do when i left his house for a little and i havent gotten around to changing it. that bracket will most likely be removed and ill make a hidden one. Im still in the progress of tucking my bay. Oh and the strut bar matched a previous theme too, but im getting around to stripping the paint off which is why part of the paint is off
Thanks for your input though. it is appreciated. Hopefully this all makes sense and it will match much more when im done. Being at school and home two hours away, it provides little opportunity to work on the car. i normally get home about maybe one weekend a month
