***Sedan Pics Thread***

Alright lets do it, I'll start...
2006 Honda Civic DX-G, 5spd Manual, Alabaster Silver Metalic
Current mods - 18 Fast "inferno" wheels, 225/40ZR18 Kumho Ecsta tires, Eibach Pro-Kit (1 inch drop), 20% tint, mirrors and handles painted to match body.

Rpm2 · 04-15-2006, 01:15 AM

So how much was it to paint your mirrors and door handles? Mine is a DX-g as well.

These pics are making me even more impatient.

RPM2, Your wheels look very classy on that car, I don't think they would have looked right with any other colour than Black! Very well done...and to answer your question, my dealership owns a body shop, so it actually cost ME nothing at all..however I can see them charging about three hours worth of labour (I had taken them all off the car already to make it as easy on them as possible) so say at about $60.00 an hour...about $180.00 (CDN) or so.
If they had to take them off the car and put them back on again, probably would charge you about 5 hours, not that it would take that long, but a lot of body shops are flat rate in a way.

Only modification plan is to get rid of the pathetic chrome grill. Perhaps a Mugen grill if they are swappable.

Am I the only one that likes that chrome grill??

karl lutz · 04-15-2006, 12:15 PM

I like the chrome grill. if it was painted a lot of you would chrome it and post you pictures of how great it looked chromed.

Thanks for the info! Was it hard to remove the door handles and mirrors or should I just leave it for someone who knows exactly what they are doing?

Yeah, I love those Cameron mods. Hopefully the '07 coupes will have blinker mirrors so I can do something similar with my white coupe.

I've decided, and I hate them. It's my wife's car so I don't really care how ugly they are but if it was minw, I'd get new rims, maybe pick up a set of EX wheels.

It'll be interesting to see if the 07 Si Sedan will be chrome like the other sedans, or body-colored like the Coupe Sis. It looks body-colored from the Chicago show:

But at the concept car site, it definitely looks chrome:

I'm hoping for body-colored.
