Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (slammed, white on white content)

you definitely modified that rear spring perch, didn't you!? lol

looks fucking AMAZING, homie. i dig it 100% and i think an open mouth grille would set the front end off as well. i wonder what it'd look like with that grille and the stock lower mesh painted white. maybe some silvia parts eyelids...

but i digress, looks CLEAN and tight, very nice. how has the exhaust broken in?
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (slammed, white on white content)

i hate those ribbons lol.

if anyone can pull off some white calipers, it'd be you.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (slammed, white on white content)

rims were bronze, he painted them white recently.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (slammed, white on white content)

just do it, it looks great on hatches. not so much on sedans.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (slammed, white on white content)

good gb idea.

shave those mouldings. still, since you've got it branded as a "3", might as well keep with the theme.

mazdaspeed makes a spoiler add-on?
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (slammed, white on white content)

i like the gv lip addition best, personally. rather than a whole new spoiler.

lol that mazdaspeed add-on is probably like $500...
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (slammed, white on white content)

this reminds me, oneill, did you check the wheels section lately?

:(
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (2 NEW pictures 2/25)

looking good as always. how's that exhaust treating you? :lol:

good decision on the side mouldings. i think the car might also look nice with amber side markers.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (2 NEW pictures 2/25)

i've heard transparent model paint works well for the sidemarkers.

my exhaust got a bit quieter with my resonator but i'm considering selling it just for a change.

And getting what in place of it?

not sure yet, but these look nice: www.vrsexhaust.com under "new items". probably the 2.25" with the 31" resonator and a borla muffler. should fix my droning issues, although i still really love this exhaust in a crude sort of way.

car still looks BALLIN muzduh.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (12 NEW pictures 3/2!)

i don't mind the decals at all, but maybe not so many.

i've got two black tein t's on the sides, just under the side mirrors. i've also got a small red simota decal on the windshield where the rear view mirror is. i might score a few black enkei ones too.

in the case of decals, less is more and uniform colours are even better. think of creative places to allow them to flow.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (8 NEW pictures 3/6!)

open will look fine. paint the fog trim black and it'll look killer.

Sur eit will... if you wanna look like every other riced out Civic on the street. Open mouth = no class.

imho red trimmed fogs coupled with blue calipers and a rudolph nose screams "no class cotton candy car" to me but you don't hear me pushing the issue. frankly i think your wagon is just about as ugly as a 3 can get.

not to mention virtually no one here has an open mouth grille on a hatch. more power to him. the open mouth grille for a civic is tiny anyway... ain't no way he's gonna be looking anything like them.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (8 NEW pictures 3/6!)

i'm harsh but fair.

Thank you for your "humble" opinion, but this is not a thread about my car.
If w/o any provocation I'd said, "Mazduh, that open mouthed grill you just installed looks like ass..." I could see an attack like the one you just bestowed upon me... but from HIM.
But, this is only about a grill Mazduh is "thinking" about and our opinions of it. He put it up there for opinions. If he didn't want to know what we think, he would've just done it w/o posting the thought first, right? So, mine is negative. Yours is not, yet you've decided to turned this into a personal attack?
Fair, indeed!!
My car has evolved from my own thoughts of adding splashes of color to an otherwise white and black car and what others have suggested might look nice. Comments from friends and on the street run about 75+/25-, so? Everyone has their opinion. I make no apologies for it and am happy to be seen driving her.
Oh, and BTW: The red trim around the fogs (maroon/burgundy, really) was my bosses idea. She will be pleased to hear that you like them. :p
I had been thinking of blacking them out 'til she suggested they'd go well w/the rest of the color scheme and "complete the look."

The difference between you and my car biped is that, if I chose to, a little laquer thinner will take that paint right off those badges and surrounds. You can figure out the rest... or can you?

Mazduh, I think your car looks great. If open mouthed is what you wanna do, then go for it. I've seen them before and was only expressing my feelings about them to give you another side of it to think about. So currently the vote is 3 to 2. That puts me in the minority. Okay. No problem. It's only an O-P-I-N-I-O-N. Look up the word, Guys.

lol dude, you just spent more time explaining your car in this thread than mazduh has, and then you go about telling me this thread isn't about your car. not only that but you basically said that a choice made by mazduh about his own car in his own thread had "no class" and will look like "riced out civics".

i was just replying. no need to explain to me what opinions are, i gave one. if you can dish it out...
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (8 NEW pictures 3/6!)

i say support the canucks with the autoexe replica, but then, you gotta keep it all gv.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (8 NEW pictures 3/6!)

Kinda what I wanted to do, along with the sidemarkers...however you will probably end up having to get clear ones and paint them...

I was going to get this for the sidemarkers:

[/quote]

that's pricey. i found some amber stained glass spray paint at a local store here for $5. i wonder what the differences are... heh. even this stuff comes off with laquer. try it out? i'm gonna do my sidemarkers in amber. i may even use some darker yellow spray for my fogs instead of rockblocker, since that appears to melt easily with the heat.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (8 NEW pictures 3/6!)

i think the luminics yellows are the best for yellow fogs.

i'll try it out come warmer weather, but the spray is seriously cheap. hopefully not TOO cheap.
Re: New pictures of my 3 hatch (NEW pictures 3/24!)

what was the product and process you finally used for the sidemarkers?
