I have a red 99 civic si and I was wondering if I should shave the inner tail lights off the trunk and french my license plate????What does everyone think of my exterior mod list so far????
Current exterior mods:
Tsunami t2000 front bumper
Black widow sides and rear
VIS oem carbon fiber hood
17" Velox Vx8 Gun Metal wheels
205/40/17 toyo tires
NO ALTEZZAS!!! I HATE THEM!!!!

i like the oem cf hood, toyo tires, can't remember what the vx8 look like off the top of my head, i HATE bw sides, t2000 front is ok but too flashy for me
but remember, in the end, do what you like best, its your ride
edit: i'm not a fan of shaved inner tails, but i think a frenched licesnce plate holder would look really really nice.. along with frenched door handles :grinyes:

Frenching thr plate holder would look good, and as lkailburn suggested, the handles would look nice too. I think Kicker1_solo has some pics of that he could show you, it would compliment the plate holder well. I am not a huge fan of shaved inner tailights, if you do that, make sure to hook up a white resevrse light somewhere on the back to stay legel. Also, congrats on no chrome tails, lol.

Notice how the line around the door handle has been removed? Same thing with the license plate area...

That picture shows fine over here. It's probably something to do with your computer settings.

'frenching' stuff like that is a pain. shaving stuff is hard, but making sure that the two surfaces are completely level (as when frenching a doorhandle) all the way around sounds like an even tougher task...i have the utmost respect for those possessing superior bodyworking skills...play on players...
