WTF is with interior? is that silver paint or are panels reflecting the flash? either way i can hook you up with stock, fucking looking new lower center console - pretty much all of the lower center pieces in stock grey - better than your silver shit. let me know and good luck!

- Wed Dec 09, 2009 6:16 am #160756 Good Project, Looks like you have made good progress so far. Its awesome you are recovering this coupe from its ricy self to a respectable car.

At first when I looked at the interior, I was thinking, Wow, the silver isn't that ricy.

On those peices spraying them black will give your OEM Look back and done for the cheap.

Whats the rocker switch for? Blue Neons?

- Sat Dec 12, 2009 3:55 am #161475 Man u got it right that switch was for blue neons that were every where i just found an other one under the car that fell down :lol: When i bought the paint for the inside it was trim paint but it was darker on the cap not so shiney but i'm ok with the results. The body isnt that rusty at all it just where the previous owner shaved off the molding but didnt finsh it.For now i'm going to smooth out the sides sand it back to the orignal paint do a flat white till i make up my mind on what color.Also maybe this civic will go turbo (this is my third civic 96 4 door, 91 hatch) and there is a differance with v-tec. :woot: Image this is a t28 garrett Image this is a t3 garrett with a blowoff valve built into the compresser side
