hey man, nice project you got yourself. this should be fun and im sure will turn out gggrrrrreeeaaatttttttt!
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!

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?

i was looking at the silver panel to and it makes the car look more modern without the risy look!!

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

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.

this is a t28 garrett

this is a t3 garrett with a blowoff valve built into the compresser side
