HyperXK's 2000 Honda Civic

I Miss driving a Honda. I should have never sold my teg. Here is what I used to have.




__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________


Now after my wallet being held hostage by a Dodge Stratus, I picked up a 2000 Honda Civic with 74,000 miles for about $4000.


BUT a week after I get it home, before I even get to even plan what I want for my car, I decided one day to take the GSP south bound at 5pm on a monday. That was a huge mistake. Got cut of by some guy in a huge Toyota pick up and BOOM. his bumper went over my car and took out my hood.



__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________


So I gave the body shop new JDM black style headlights and an Si style grill with no honda badge. Told him to also remove all the badges on the rear of the car for a much cleaner look. Getting an Si front bumper would have cost almost $300 dollars, so I think I will just have to get a lip for the front eventually. They did a bunch of other small stuff, like snapped back on the drivers side rocker pannel, gave the drivers window a new motor and run channel, replaced the pannel where the rear plate sits, (girl who had it used copper screws to fasten her plates, what a mess) and took of the wind cover for the sunroof. Also when I first got the car. it had lots of deep scratches and a huge dent like someone dropped a bowling ball on the hood, so now that gets fixed too..


Here is the car getting the rear emblems removed...





After...





Here is the front now...







3/12/08 Just got my 5Zigen plate cover, nothing big, but the only thing that will be ever be on the outside of this car..







Up next will be front plate relocator, black fogs with yellow lights, tints, then radio...

Update...

So after a little while cars exhaust started making horrible sounds. Checked it out for the first time and it looks like this!





Ordered a ApexI WS2. only $413.00 shipped. not bad. Sounds and looks amazing.






Week later, picked up new windshield. old one was filled with cracks and holes.




Picked up a set of 5 way adjustable Tokico Illuminas and Eibach Sportline springs..

old...


new...



not bad...

So one day while just pulling out of work. some Ass backs up his truck at a stop sign. I really have no idea WTF this guy was thinking...??
starts at :35


Car looked like this, so back to the body shop for a second time...



So while car was at the shop, picked up a set of 16' 5Zigen FN01r-Cs.


Got it home and added the front windshiled tint and a Type-R style front lip.

Nice color choice on the new wheels. Can't believe you got the surveillance video of the accident.

almost was a third time yesterday, some ass made an illegal u-turn from the right lane of a two lane highway. Locked em up but let go at the last second and got around him. had to pull over for 5 minutes after that one!! haha

yea car looks ok, has allot of clear coat coming off and i need a new set of headlights. So looks like I may have to get a paint job or just sell it and pick up an 06 RSX. will see.

yea I didn't pay for anything. so everything was just replaced again. the headlights are crap and both fog up badly, so I may get another set.

Also gave the car new Function and Form LCAs and an ASR brace.
