I did mine in white. Pick a color that goes well with your car/rims.

No offense or anything, but debadging is gay.. Too many civic owners have done it... I *WANT* people to know what my car is.

Hell yea. So that people won't say "nice 240" or "holy crap what is that?" Theyll just know and bow down. Make them chrome so they stand out nice and proud on the black car.

Not certain as to why the picture is not perfectly clear, but the photo has not been enhanced. I purchased the car new in May 1989 and it still has the original paint, always using Mother's wax. Hasn't seen the rain since 1992, and has never been in any inclement weather here in the Northeast, nor through any carwash.

The rims are American Racing polished Aeros. The OE rims are mint, and in boxes in the garage, but just wanted something different on the car.

Just thought I'd show a side view. Once again no enhancement, but after uploading to Photobucket it became more fuzzy. I guess I had better invest in a new camera, but at least you can get an idea of the condition. No scratches, dents etc.

what if you spray painted the whole thing black. After it's completely dry use the painters tape over the whole thing ,make sure you push the tape down around the outside edges of the letters & then exacto out the form of the letters. peel away just the letters & lightly spray paint it silver.

Just a thought.
