November 2007 - November 1st 2010

My car within the first few days of purchase.




The first mod ever was just for looks. Some H emblem overlays for the Wheels.


My Boy Michal_PL in his 06 RR FG2 and My FG2 NHBP first photo shoot.


Me at custom auto stylez with Stockie Wheels


Now not all my mods am I so proud of, However it was a learrning tool I used to see what looks good and what doesn't. This one not so good. (Red Pin Stripe) Face Palm.


Next to come was the Type R Front and Rear Badges.
At this point everything was looks not power,still very new to this. (STOLEN/DEBADGED ON 11/28/2011)










Next to come was under the hood I wanted to further outstretch the Red on Black theme.
So in order to do this my boy Michal_PL and I headed up north on higway 1-4 To Orlando to meet up with a fellow 8thcivic.com member to add my Valve Cover and Intake Manifold cover. (here is what we did)






Now the Finished Product


Another Note to add (Notice how this will be the last photo of my car with that Red Pin Stripe!)


Finally after some saving and a few months to have gone by I purchased and installed my first Power upgrade. Skunk2 Mega Power RR 70mm Catback Exhaust.(never has noise made me so HAPPY :) )




Biltzer Shift Knob weighted at exactly 440 grams.




My next Mod was a Set of Enkei Spec E 18in Rims (bronze with Matt finish Lip)




This photo shoot was taken in my hometown Clearwater Beach W/ my friends Michal_PL and SloCivic AKA Matt.


Showing a little 8thcivic.com Love while at the JDM UPs Track Meet in Bradenton, FL.






A few more months to go buy with no additional upgrades.
Time to add some Red on Black theme to the Inside of the car.(Retired Scroll Down to see new Interior)




Custom red armrest cover. (Sorry Grandma that ish is in the trash now)


Next added some Sparco Seat Belt covers for added comfort and Red(10/2011 currently retired and inside of GF's FG2). :)




Red Steering Wheel Stitching
(From This)

(To This)


(This had taken me over 8Hours to do in 3 seperate days)






Once again a few months have gone by. No other modifications for quite some time. Started to get bored with my current setup. Love my car, but time for a change.
(So what to do next?)
Finally I found the perfect piece to making my car even Sexxier!
So I packed up the jeep and decided to take a Road trip to Atlanta,GA. To buy these...!
Mugen GP 18' Forged Wheels




Installed on car... Please I know Hippo Lift but cant buy it all at once.




By this time my boy Michal_PL had traded in his 06 RR FG2 for a 2010 CBP FA5


Domo helping show off the Whip:domokundance:




Now at this time I was sending out Pictures everywhere showing off my new Rims. Besides Positive feedback on the Mugen GPs alot of bad feedback caused by WAY TO MUCH WHEEL GAP!!!

PROBLEM SOLVED

Finally some more power gains to be added would be nice!!
DC Race Header.



Shot this footage shortly after the DC install...made my FG2 So freaking LOUD!!!



Third set of shots are after the Second time tweaking with the threads on the Coilovers ( how she still sits to this day)




I know it was Never Mentioned before but you can see in this Picture I no longet am utilizing the stock airbox. (Injen CAI Black)


June 2010 My FG2 even though being garage kept and fully detailed by me and me alone. These cracks started to appear throughout the entire car.

June 10th 2010 new Paint Job







o....




December 2010

Month of December was good. Did some mods that I've been planning for some time. Also some modifications that came up unexpectedly.

My interior door handles were starting to get F***ed up.. So I painted them black.




December 2010
Was looking into getting a HFP front lip next.However I had taken my car to the track on December 23rd and ripped my flex pipe on my DCRH. (Please don't let this discourage anyone from the DCRH it is a great header and I have no complaints about it at all, just track abuse/use can do this to your flex pipe without a stronger application of motor mounts)


So I got a new one welded on...




...and to ensure I don't have this problem again I ordered a set of

Boomba Motor Mounts!



Oem dog bone being crushed by the Boomba dog bone!



Installed


December 2010
My good friend Matt bought himself a 2006 Fiji Blue FG2!
So we went to a parking garage and snagged a couple of photos. :)











January 2011
A BIG thank you to Xenondepot.com and Bernardi Honda for all the parts needed for HID low beams and Fog Light assembly. A even bigger thank you to Autoway Honda for saving me the headache of installing the fogs for me G and Chris you know whats up!!

The outcome is Insane!!!

October 2011
Just received my Bride armrest and gear shift boot today. Must say I am amazed with the quality of the fabric and how well the seems are sewn together. Had a lot of studying to do. So my girlfriend and I didn't get started with install until after dinner.

Before:


As you can see my red cover was a little dirty, so that is in the garbage can now. But the OEM fabric still looks new.


During Install:


After:



Installed but poor lighting have better shots up later.

February 15th 2012
Been thinking about trying this for a few months now.
Let me know what you all think.
Lower grill





I used pin stripe tape. No painting. So its by no means permanent. I think it gives the grill pin stripe a nice accent. Just gonna rock it for a little and see how it holds up.

All i ordered was the trunk. The trim piece is additional $220 and sold sepertly. The guys over at VIS Raving were nice enough to give me this piece for free cause it was the last trunk they had in stock and they didn't want me to wait so long. Thanks VIS Racing.

My new VIS Racing Mugen RR Styled hood came in today. As I had expected it matches my new VIS OEm Styled trunk perfect. All my carbon is now one color. In a way I miss my old RR hood. But I do like the gray variation as well.

New hood compared to old.

Perfect picture to show much that front lip is needed! lol

Nice build dude...I think the grille would look much better if you painted the lower portion black - Would make the pinstripe pop much more.

Not a bad idea!
Not to sure how I would go about doing that.
Prob just a light sand then a matt black?
You ever see anyone do this before.
 
#47 · (Edited)
The Handles are not hard to remove at all. Apply pressure with both hands top and bottom and squeeze it together. Pops right out. If you like what I did check this guys thread out here. Its where I got the idea from.

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/inside-out/234717-custom-upholstery-ftw.html

Also I used this Paint to spray the Handles. Grabbed it from Advanced Auto Parts.



Just 3 light layers will be great. Make sure the temperature is between 70-90 Degrees F. Or it will start to crack immediately before it can even dry.
Good Luck and thanks for the Kind words.
