No problem Mav, I'll see when i can ship it out. Sure wish i could have installed them, now all i want is for my car to sell soon. I haven't posted yet I'm trying to replace my heater valve so i can get the heater going.

Mav +1 on removing the scoop.

Sweet thanks. Don't forget iTrader also. I like to have the highest rating on the forum LOL!!

Should I remove my hood decals too? Now that the scoop is gone, it kinda feels outta place. Though I'm to afraid to find out what it's gonna reveal underneath it.

I'd have to say the checkered is played out. I REALLY want to do this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnV...1er_tii_19.jpg

For christmas, my TI got/is getting a valve cover gasket, NGKs and a fuel filter.
Oh and a clutch in my truck..

I got a 3tier craftsman tool chest to hold my ever growing collection of tools. Sweet!

My best gift will be driving the car again after being out of town for over a week..

Ha ah ah ah ahhh. Haven't checked this thread since Christmas Eve, looks good Mav!!! I'm running out of things to hassle you about, lol. Your car will look 100 times better once it's dropped. +1 on removing the stripes, just be careful. You might want to invest in a heat gun or something to soften the adhesive. I'd try to start in an inconspicuous area first to see if it's going to let up, it might be baked on or leave a heavy residue.

I didn't get much this year. Spent a lot on gifts for the family and friends, but seems like the only gifts I got were pretty cheesy. Oh well, it's for the kids anyway, as long as they're happy, that's all that really matters. My dad got me the coolest gifts, a new computer chair and AN AIR COMPRESSOR!!! I'm way stoked because I really needed both of those gifts. The compressor is nothing special, but it's special to me because my dad got it for me. It works great and it's better than what I had before which was nothing. Already bought a couple air tools for it, a die grinder, a cutoff wheel and some polishing wheels. I'll probably get a pneumatic impact, an air ratchet and a spray gun pretty soon.

What do yall think? I can easily make my car look like this. Turn the hood black, and have silver stripes starting from the hood, and going all the way to the edge of the trunk. Should I do it?

I'd just do white stripes and leave the hood green, a black hood looks to much like a fake carbon fiber hood

What if I make the hood sliver, and the stripes on the hood black, and the stripes on the roof of the car and the trunk silver?

Hmm.. Im definitely going to say no to a black hood. I see alot of civics with that..

My personal opinion would be to find a set of wheels to replace the hubcaps before i would worry about too much else..

then it will look like you raided a junkyard, just leave it green, upgrading the rims would also be a concern

i think it looks weird on just one side
id do it on both and make it line up with the kidneys then meet in the back to flow into the roundel or have them split and line up with the taillights
