#207054 Welcome to the site!
I'll let you know in advance... you're gonna get hell from some members on this forum because of all the vinyl.

Personally, I think that it interferes with the natural body lines of the civic. The back doesn't have enough to break up the white if the tail lights are white. And the front corner signals don't flow at all.

I'm guessing the black vinyl on the rear arch is to cover up rust damage?
Te black vinyl really only calls more attention to the area. If you don't want to spend all the money to repair the rust the proper way, then i would use white vinyl there instead of black so that it will flow with the rest of the body

White wheels on white car is looking good too :thumb:

#207128 yh the rust on the arches were painted black by the old owner, ive only had the car a cuple of months and havnt realy done much to it.

i maybe planing on spraying the boot black and doing the arches back to white. if i can get hold of some for sensible money, i realy fancy some projector headlights/angle eyes.

i also want to change the sun strip to 1 with spoon or something on it instead of the plain white.

the front side markers are vulger, i desperatly want to change them but have been holding out to see if i can find the headlights before i go and buy the indicators.

thanks for the tips :thumb:
