My Taffeta White EX Sedan!!! :D

PixelStarFX · 09-07-2006, 07:58 PM

I finally got my car yesterday! I LOVE it. It just looks so good in white IMO.

Here's some pix I took yesterday. Hopefully I can take some better ones soon (I hate the background lol)

I added on the foglights, splash guards, leather wrapped steering wheel, and rear wing spoiler. I really like the leather steering wheel, it feels nice.

Everyone said the sound really sucked, but it wasn't THAT bad. I'm sure it could sound a lot better but I think I will hold off putting in a new sound system for a few months or so.

I am also planning on tint...maybe 20% all around and the moonroof too I suppose. Hopefully I can get away with 20% even though I live on a military base. I see a lot of people driving around with less than 35% (missouri limit). Hopefully since I have Texas tags it won't matter

I also want the door sill protectors...trying to find a place that is selling them. I saw on here that collegehillshonda should have them soon but I did not see them on their site??

Also how do you take off the dealer logo without fkin up the paint? blowdryer?? Thanks!

Yeah I have a feeling I'm going to be washing it a lot...I have washed the bugs off the front end twice so far. I dont want them to get caked all over it, I hate those bra's though. Good thing summer is coming to an end (less bugs).

Some of your photos look like promo photos that Honda would use

PoLiShPrInCe · 09-08-2006, 02:24 AM

I plan on getting tint, door sill protectors, and a new sound system. :) That's all I can think of right now. I don't want to mod it too much.

Thanks!!! I LOVE my camera! Photography is a hobby of mine

It really looks nice, I have a bit of a crush on your car. I don't know about a CF hood but the rest sounds good. I have a silver EX myself - don't sell white except on the hybrid in CAN yet....

What do you think of the fog lights? Are they bright? can you take a pic with them on? You're going for all the mods I like. I had taken my car in for tinting but the guy was unrelaiable. I already have the leather steering wheel cover. I think we're a rare breed actually. I really like it too.

I saw door sills that look great on ebay, though I think one of our sponsers - Battle Endless - has its own version. I am sure they ship - its only taped on.

My jury is still out to lunch over the spoiler though. I think it looks best only at night and when you see it, not someone else.

Thanks! Man that sucks that they dont have white in CAN yet.

I dont know about the foglights yet. I haven't had a chance to drive it at night yet BUT I am tonight. See I live on a military base and since I have dealer tags right now, they have to search your car everytime you leave and come back onto base (if it is at night).

I know some people in here installed their own foglights but it is a lot of work that I just dont want to mess with so I had the dealer install them. I'm sure I can get brighter ones later if needed.

I like the door sills I saw on Ebay yesterday:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...spagenameZWDVW

They have a version where the word "civic" is in blue. I like those too.

I went to Battle Endless's site yesterday and saw where they had door sills too but no photo to show what they looked like

Wow what a coincidence! I am getting a Taffeta White EX Sedan delivered on Saturday in Kansas City, MO. I like your taste! What dealer did you work with?

EDIT: Just saw the JayWolf license plate holder. Same for me as well! This is getting creepy.

**wing_gundam** · 09-08-2006, 12:40 PM

Check this out:

Door sill plate with CIVIC logo

liuh · 09-08-2006, 12:45 PM

i have a T-white sedan too!

looking at your car is like looking at my car...cept yours is much much cleaner. And your camera rocks like woah.

I dont have the spoiler though, trying to decide between the lip or the wing

what do you think of the ivory interior? I've noticed i see a lot of small sticks and stuff that people have had on their feet...

but anyways, great choice on the color, TERRIFIC TAFFETA WHITE!

bhoy · 09-08-2006, 01:40 PM

looks good. pics are nice, they look like honda brochure pics if not better.

vltnolia · 09-08-2006, 02:46 PM

I never really liked 4 door civics but the 2006 sedans there a piece of work. I love em. White especially, so clean and stylish.

striker_1818 · 09-08-2006, 04:43 PM

I liked the car and neighborhood...nice all round

JeShUa · 09-08-2006, 06:08 PM

nice pics.. not feelin the wing though

.. how much did it come out to??

atomicEXcoupe · 09-08-2006, 08:35 PM

I only like the 4-door with the wing spoiler.. great choice...
The dealer sticker should peel right off nicely if it a very new car.
enjoy.
