Roadkill2525 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) This'll be a future project, Revell Honda Civic coupe. I'll use the stock front and custom rear bumpers. Grille ground out with a dremel. SMS carbon fiber on hood. Wheels are two pairs of front Aoshima Volk Mesh and tires are Pegasus lowrider tires, wanted a JDM style wheels with stretchwall tires.

diymirage Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 with all due respect i think your choice of rolling stock looks much more german then JDM just my 2 cents though the carbon fibre looks really good on the hood how will the paint be ? pearl white with no striping right ?

Lownslow Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 i wouldve flipped them black wall side out. i was planning on casting more S/W tires but havent been in the mood to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill2525 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 looking great. but keep it jdm. put a b18 or k series in it. great start man I might go with the kit B16, do it as a backmarker. with all due respect i think your choice of rolling stock looks much more german then JDM just my 2 cents though the carbon fibre looks really good on the hood how will the paint be ? pearl white with no striping right ? nothing set for paint and the hood needs to be cleared. As for the wheels, its a nostalgic style. Old JDM wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the wheels, its a nostalgic style. Old JDM wheels all im saying is it reminds me of the early generation BBS wheels as were standard and several VW models and the stretching of the tires seems a LOT mroe common in that scene then in the japanese but then again, i really dont care for theJDM so i could be mistaken carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Nice looking bit of work so far. I dig the rims and hood. Ever thought of chopping the roof? IMVHO some tuners could benifit from a roof chop, to me they look out of scale dropped without being chopped. Either way your doing nice work.

Roadkill2525 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 a few updates got rid of the badge from the upper grille, if you don't know its a Honda I feel sad for you engine still needs some work, exhaust will be blued, intake to be detailed, and then add plug wires exhaust system to be replaced with aluminium tube from the y-pipe back and maybe a Fujimi muffler some aero mirrors for a more JDM feel, from one of my Aoshima kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
