POST YOUR DE-CHROMED 2013/14 CIVICS

2013 touring edition/EX-L stock with all the fake bling. Lol.


Like a lot of you out there. I hate all the chrome that honda has slapped on the refreshed si and R18 sedans. Mainly the non si's which have this hideous grinning chrome bar that almost goes the full width of the car. I have a touring model which I bought in October 2013 and within two weeks I'd plasti dipped all the chrome on the front end as a quick fix till spring when I could actually vinyl it with the warmer weather. Even blacked out I still couldn't stand the shape of the garnish piece the fog lights where the only thing I did like unfortunately it wasn't enough. I've always liked the si bumper cause it had less chrome and was more aggressive looking so I ended up swapping out the R18 stuff with the si pieces. Anyways here it is. A few pics of my progression. Please post your pics so others can see how much nicer the civic looks blacked out and how honda should have made the civic.

Plastidip & glossfire

This is vinyled gloss black.

This is the si conversion with the lower chrome pieces vinyled also.

this is how my car looks now.

I used plasti dip last fall to see if I liked the blacked out look. I found doing the H in the front was too much black so I took it off. I find it looks better. Look familiar @Pauly99to17 ?

Looks great. Haven't vinyled the rear chrome yet. How hard is it. I know I had a hell of a time doing the front grille the fog light pieces where a breeze.

Did u use gloss black? I'm in no rush to do it. So the rear it doesn't bother me that much it was mainly the front that bothered me.

No more chrome on my civic. Plastic dipped it today. Makes a big difference.

Yesterday I decided to de-chrome the rear chrome garnish I wanted to use vinyl but run out of it when I did the front. So it's temporary till I buy more vinyl.
