Nice! It looks really clean. 50,000 miles, damn. You are lucky.

Looks fairly nice :) I've never seen the padded center console lid, anyone know if that was a factory feature???

Welcome to the family! Looks like a nice 7 to start with, make sure to read all of the FAQs and do your reliability mods first. Good luck with it though.

Here are a couple more pics

Nice (both) :icon_tup: :icon_tup:

take those k&n stickers off your door..just an opinion tho

I'd get rid of that sub box, that thing looks like it weighs 100lbs! Other minor ricer things, like the shift knob, that I'd get rid of. Otherwise, very clean and unmolested! I'd lower it, get some wheels, a front lip and call it a day!

one thing i noticed... if you plan on keeping the sub box, i would find a way to secure it down... cause if you get into a high speed accident and thing is gonna kill you...

edit, btw... that car is my twin, minus the sunroof and 4 lug hubs/rims and blue interior...

these are old pictures.

Ide lose the "boom boom" box. Other than that, its okay.

That IS a nice clean car. Assuming the surface is prepped well, i guess after you finish putting the trim back on the car, the black wheels will work. If you are gonna leave the k and n stickers i would probably measure the distance from the top of the door to the sticker and measure that same distance from the bottom of the door. Purchase some uncle bens stickers and place them at that point to create symmetry.

Took the K&N stickers off and painted the front and back trim ill post some pics of that tommorrow and im going to paint my wheels black tommorrow to hope to get the pics of it on by tommorrow afternoon

5 lug / 4 piston caliper conversion, BBS convertible wheels, new paint = you win.

Nice low mileage FC. I'll admit, a K&N sticker is on my car as well on the opening of the air snorkel. It came with the filter, so I figured why the hell not. :)

-I'd swap that knob out for either a stock one or one out of another car (I think mine's out of an old celica and it sits a good inch below the stock knob)
-Bolt that box down! When I first put mine in, it wasn't mounted and a deer decided to cross the street in front of me... Those subs smacking the back of the seat (and possibly your head) aren't anything plesant.

You did do a nice job painting where the rub strips went. Have you considered S5 ones?

haven't really looked into getting new ones yet this is probably just temporary till I can find some good ones but for now I don't think it looks to bad any idea's where to get those strips?

What? You don't have a K&N air filter! You have the same Fram piece of shit that's in my car! Lawlz! I was trying to come up with a mixture between 'Rice' and 'Busted'...but all that materialized was Rusted! I <3 busting your balls. :lol:

Arctic Silver FTW!

K&N stickers, those gauge faces, that shift knob and that sub box. Please get rid of them, man. Those things may work on some skank ass 80's civic but don't deface our community.

nice interior and engine. its clean but i would preffer if you paint you car glass paint it would look extraordinary

Not tryin' to heckle you or anything, but... WTF did you just say? Glass paint?

haha i think he meant gloss paint.

I have a rust spot in the same exact place (in front of the rear wheel). If you ever fix that be sure to do a write up on it.

once im going to repaint the whole car im going to take it to a shop and have the bondo and remold the two spots in front of both the rear tires
