Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Redid my civic hatch with a few subtle modifications. Tinted windows, lowered, scratch made OEM rear bumper, molded the grill to the bumper, shaved the trim around the door handles, shaved the key holes, shaved the trim around the license plate box, and the headlights and taillights tinted a pink iridescent color that shifts green to blue. Just waiting on new wheels and it'll be completely finished. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Nice. Good looking paint. My friend had one of these but it had a trunk instead of the hatchback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Cool, i like your door handle mods, subtle but custom while still feeling factory. I'll have to remember that trick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to remember that trick I appreciate it! It was a subtle custom touch I stole from my uncle's 1:1 hatch from back in the day. The grill is molded to the bumper as well as the trim around the license plate box is shaved too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctruss53 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Very well done. What did you use on the headlight and taillight lenses? Like what brand of paint? Did you thin it out so it was still transparent? Or was the paint like that already? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film itself color shifts pink and yellow depending on the angle, and the chrome iridescent colors shift green, blue, and purple! Can't tell you the brand or where to get it. I got it from my uncle. Edited June 20, 2023 by Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I have experience in the automotive industry, and managed to make those tiny damn lenses look perfect lol. I originally had the headlights tinted black but, I always felt something just didn't look right to me. I wasnt happy with the car, turns out it was just the headlight tint was the problem, so I used the iridescent tint and completely changed the look of the car. I'm quite happy with outcome just waiting on the new wheels. This car is a future replica build. Once my daughter is here in august I'm buying a rhd (right hand drive) ek hatch.
