Diogo's civic build thread

Not all this is the reflector shield that's painted red always visible

Ah I got it. Then technically it should be fine since it's not a red light. Essentially it's the same as painting something on your bumper red.
Explaining that to a cop is a whole other story lol

Exactly and since I had a headlight ticket in the past I know I'll get yanked for it. I'd rather not be paranoid

You can see the demon eyes best in this photo. Looms amazing but bait in my opinion still have a few weeks to decide

Ultimate racing catted downpipe was acquired

And also I didn't like the mustard gold on the previous powdercoat which was cheap (you get what you pay for most of the time learn from my mistake). Here is the new look the colour is phantom bronze and omg I wanna Mount them yesterday!

Even never addition. Progress rear swaybar was purchased and will be picked up today!
Hsd coils will be acquired next month and I have a member doing a retrofit for me since it's cheaper to ship a set of headlights over the retrofit kit due to duties! Damn you customs
That's all for now folks I'll get photos up later today

How much does powdercoat per wheel usually cost? Someone told me it's $150 per wheel

[Pauly99to17]

Haha. Ya, spring is Canadian install season.
