[EF_LSVtec]

Getting closer to my goal of transforming my 88 Civic DX hatch to jdm SiR...I will post pics soon once I figure out how to replace my stock tails and center garnish. I'm too excited about the delivery so I posted it right away...

[GTA]

Ive changed my tails. Gimmie a buzz if ya want some help

[Melt]

I know how to do the side pieces but the center piece is a bitch to get off (From what I have heard)

[GTA]

yea i've heard that. I've only changed the lens never had to try to do the center garnish....

So when are you doing the RHD conversion?

Kidding, I know what it's like when you get the goodies - hell of a lot of fun. Got pics of it yet?

Me? Transforming my '88 GL to an SiR was easier... I sold it

Heres some pics of EF-LSVtec's car. He was August's Civic of The Month on 4thgenerationcivic.com

yeah i aint got not fancy motor or nothing, but i screwed up my stock tails so i got a set of jdm ones. it was like christmas tripple the excitement! Did you have to bend the metal for the 90-91 tails, since you have an 88-89? i did but oh well, jeust curious.?.?... then they kept leaking on me! i still am battling that fight but small holes in the bottom of it may of finally cleared it up. i hope...its like ahhhh theyre soo sweettt!!!

[EF_LSVtec]

Sorry, I wasnt able to login last night...Had to take care of my little girl...Anyway, Yeah, I could use some help putting in those tails. I'm not too happy with the center garnish though...Civic emblem is a bit faded and there's a hairline crack on one side (hardly noticeable) but I know its there...I was briefly looking on how I would install it and looks like I may have to remove the inside panel.

When i took my center piece out all the nuts broke off!

I am jealous your project is alot farther than mine But my front conversion will be on sometime this month so be expecting that!!!! Have you decided on the lip spoiler yet? I think I am going to order the J's racing lip pretty soon.

[EF_LSVtec]

No...I think I'll stay with just the stock jdm parts. Front lip looks good though, dont you think? Next item up for bid, jdm rear seats and rear skirts/lip.

[GTA]

nice

[QuickSilverEF9]

It is JDM J's racing is a Japanese manufactor the import those lip spoilers to the US... Good luck finding the rear lip that is incredibly hard to find...

[EF_LSVtec]

I know....but my brother who's serving in the Navy used to be stationed in Japan. He may know a few peeps that can find this piece for me, as my last resort.
