The exteriors are going to be Black with either white or red grafics we don't know yet...........and he would join AF but hes not like so interested in models to look at the webpage......he too busy playing CnC Generals....i'd rather waste my time with model cars than computer games....:confused: :mad: :rolleyes:

where do you guys get these import models? ive looked for them all over and couldnt find one! if you look at my model list in the sig its domestic dominated!

looking good!

sik civs man, nice engine n interior detail

i prefer ur buddies cuz that wing on the top of the hatch just throws the entire kit off, just take it off and then the tru slik beast will be revealed, is it alread glued on? *pls dont be pls dont be*

well thats not the finished wing.......but how do you like the finished one heres a pic of the box idk how clearly you can see it though

dude ur civs r too sweet i can get over them but trust me its gonna kill it with tht big lump of plastic and metal on top, wouldnt u rather have a low smooth civic rather than a big lump? lemme photoshop it quik and ill show u wat i mean

ok took out wing and tried to lower it abit but it looks weird without the body being finished

should i leave to stock wing on because without that there would be 2 gaps in the back??

-racemyss

its absolutely ur decision.. do u like it without or with it? if not than you can fill the holes using some putty but that will cost money and delay u if u dont have so for u i would stay with it cuz theres nothing to fill it

ill see what im going to do......but about lowering it you can't really because the wheel wells are in the way and you can't cut them out. which isn't good because its almost low enough with the bodykit...


-RaceMySS

i uno the rims r huge in first place:S whatever u want and im sure it will be fine

looking great

That black looks sweet, I am now feeling the urge to get the civic hatch back because yours is looking good. What wing you using on the coupe.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/759180CIVIC25.jpg

Thanks for all your responses guys......its really giving me the motivation to finish this kit.....and the civic coupe will have the custom wing.....

heres another little update.....got the engine all done except for the radiator...but my camera can't get a good shot of it......it looks so nice in person...oh well do your best to see around the blurryness and into the detail.

I've been feeling like such crap all week and i haven't really done anything, well i've done alot of thinking and planning for the rest of my model.

well first of all i was sitting down and came up with this crazy idea.....but than i thought to myself nooo....that my friend wont have a engine for his civic coupe

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/527604Image24.jpg

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/606139Image25.jpg


between sleeping and stuff i managed to get the radiator painted and glued in

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/484777Image23.jpg

got a peice of the muffler glued in

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/939641Image26.jpg

And my last idea is to either hook up head/tail lights or a underbody kit..if i do the underbody kit....heres some planning pics
