People laugh at your mum.
Im sorry but keep your opinion to yourself... Ok you don't like it I'm fine with that but people aren't going to laugh at me and if they do their heads are obviously as far up their arse as yours.

Get creative and stop copying everybody else.
That's what motoring is about. Personality and fun. So I really couldn't care what you or anybody else say.

Lol. I agree mate. Its all about being different. No 2 modified cars will ever be the same. I personally like what you have done. Not everyone will always like what you have done but if everyone had the same taste it would be a pretty boring world. Whens it getting painted bud?

The minute you put "VTI" bumpers and lips on a 4G, is when people will start laughing at you.


...and this seriously made me LOL:

Tell you what, just a thought...

Why dont use the work you have done, to make some fiber glass peices? turn the whole wings into a 1 peice fiberglass wing, rather than the Fiberglass/Mesh/Filler ones they are now, but will be lighter, but still keep the look your after, same with the front bumper as you've filled in the filler bar :top:

Thought about that but will got me a fortune in fibreglass and I've never done moulding before so bound to mess a few up. I'll look into it in the future and I can always paint them again. 8)

Also thanks for the comments. Has brightened my day to see people agree with my comments/ what I'm doing ha. I don't think I've ruined my civic :)

Paint should be around the end of January I hope. Then I can re-build it.
:top: looking forward to it.

P.s. No offence James. But the arches would look fooking shite with a sharp edge. I went through all possible ways and I believe I've choosen the best way for the car.

I agree :) but it's fact the arches would look worse. No doubt about it, I can 100% guaranty that. 8)

i disagree

The shape of the bubble arch doesnt look right with the square body of the 4g

i think if they were sharp it would look alot better

I mean look at the old lancia's etc etc

Cant wait to see this painted..
Gonna look epic ..

You should try flatten the arches to go with the whole " boxy " look
Only my opinion though.

Have you decided a colour?
or is it going to be a race/graphic style?
