While the Grand National body is being stripped, the Mello Yello Lumina chassis looking like sh*t, and the V10 Ram lagging way behind I started the Civic. It'll be along the same line as my Envy Integra

The paint will be MM Hondorus Maroon with gold wheels and a Wimbleton White and Dk. Red interior. I haven't thought too much on if I will do any stripes or designs, still want it subtle yet stick out.

Here's another update.

The suspension is bare plastic with dull coat and the heat shielding is BMF.

Cat is titanium, header/y-pipe is stainless steel, and rest is aluminium plate. Still need to paint muffler and other thingy.

Valve cover matches body color and not detailed yet, engine is coming along nicely.

Switched out the wheels from second post (Axis NEO) for a spare set from the Integra. Painted Tamiya Gold TS-21

yep, another small update. The body is ready for paint, still looking for a good dark red for the seats and put it all together.

front bumber is finished, not the greatest detail for the grill

rear tail lights, stock lenses painted my way will be backed with BMF

Nice. the white and red interior looks great, the paint as well, great. The "new" gold wheels will provide a nice contrast with the red exterior. The Coupe Is a nice body style.

I'm not a huge fan of tuners. Most young people think a body kit, a set of ugly wheels that cost more than the car, some flashy graphics, and a "fart can" makes a tuner. :o Most young people don't think about the motor. ;) But when some one takes the time to do the Whole package, it is awesome.
