Finally got them on - Sidemarkers
 

"Aw SNAP...Its y0!"


Shouldve seen my gangsta setup for leveling things.
Held the fenders to the wall w/ nails, painters tape everywhere, sharpie lines, big huge magnets......shouldve taken a pic or two.

The driver's side turned out better than the other. I'll have to get some black caulk to help fill it in better and to seal off the rust.
I have to say that all the diagrams I found, none of them were great. The one that I used was the best but it was still piss poor (fit well on paper though) and was too short but also too tall (hence the fit - did passenger 1st)

nice!

:o that's what my ex girlfriend said to me.....


oh btw pdiggs, what kind of wheels do you have and what size?

ooooh sa-weet!

that bumper needs some paint ;) looks good, i was thinking about throwing some sidemarkers on the cars

HA
that made me laugh


Those are 14" pos ass prime wheels that came on the car when I bought it...and still havent gotten rubber for the rotas yet (been forever too). Theyre round so they work ok...but all the paint is chipping off them....and theyre HEAVY


No doubt....no doubt
HOPEFULLY I can do that next week. Ive already hit up the shop and got a price for the job ($350 w/ lifetime warranty) - Just the bumper and other fender. I played w/ some paintscratch.com paint on the other fender (the dead one) and it turned out like ass...I suck at painting. So...shop time indeed.
I will, however, paint the mirrors myself w/ what remains of the paintscratch.com paint (can you believe I havent done that yet either??)

NICE MANG!
I have a genuine JDM side markers on my Teg too. I dont like mine. I'm gonna get it repatch when I save enough to get my car repainted

how come you dont like em therms?

Nice Yo! :yes:

Because they are rice :chicken: - just my opinion, so you know it doesnt matter :)

BTW, what are ur planz for gettin some ballz under your h00d?

how is something stock rice?

I dont really care right now. Id rather spend the money on painting the bumper and getting rubber for the wheels that Im sick of looking at in my room everyday

what sizae tires you need?

205/45/16 for the rotas
Ive talked to the guy at the local tire warehouse and Im gettin a deal on parada2s

Because EVERY civic has em . . . i see all the riced out civics and they all have side markers . . . plus its not stock because you had to put it on there.

BUT, i think they do look good on ur car.

feh...its stock everywhere else but here
plus I didnt get the dumb clear ones...these are specifically for the ek.
Plus, where I am, there arent any other civics. So once again, Im the OG ;)

Well, the dude who installed it over cut the wholes. No wholes are showing but the thing is not mounted sturdy enough for me. I might still keep it if the body shop can make it tight.... not sure yet really....

ah yes...makes sense
if you wanted to make em sturdier you could throw some jb weld on the backs of the fenders
ghetto fabulous

Re: Finally got them on - Sidemarkers
 

they look ok to me.. but i think that the lack of orange in the front turn signal and the super strong orange in the side marker looks bad.... i saw clear oem s2000 ones on HAN... i think they would flow much better with your setup...

Hey pdiggs whrere did you get your sidemarkers from? And i think you should make a post in the how to section on how you installed them.

I bought them from some guy on h-t...i forget the name now.
there really isnt a whole lot of a how to, to it. just align, drill, nibble a box out.


I know what youre sayin. But Im stickin w/ the whole ek thing. Afterall, they look this way everywhere else too. Where it an sir (yes, it would be a hatch then...look past it) it would have the same headlights, red and clear tails and orange sidemarkers, same as mine.
Plus I think clear markers are too euro-trashy for me :D

when i look at that picture it looks like your car is a black and whit photo and somone dotted orange in it.. NOT talking shit just saying.. its like black gray black silver gray smoed clear BLAM! orange... as i said before its not bad... i just think it interupts the flow

well..."orange" wheels have been waiting patiently to go on for about a yr now...so that will add some color

are they edm or jdm orange;) ;) ;) ;)

Hey pdiggs don't let them get you down i think it looks PERFECT!!! i love the whole true JDM scheme

he knows me well enough to know my intention is not to "dis" him or "get him down" just being honest thats all..

for sure, honesty is how oc rolls, and that is how it should be
i know how it is
true opinions are what matters...even though i wouldnt change anyways - its my car

o/t what do you think about those yellow foglights... urban legend? i can't find ANYWHERE that has them

Actually the only thing i don't like about your car pat is the foglights, just too square for my tastes, but

this is where it's at...

http://www.jhpusa.com/catalog/produc...roducts_id=563

That site doesn't have shit for Accords..;(

yeah I have never seen any place that carried the 96-98s in yellow...ever. I think it may just be a myth. The true jdm ones are ion lens anyway.
Im sure youve seen people's painted ones. They look pretty decent, but I wonder how long it holds up.

thats exactly what i wonder

well...you could always ask the guy on h-t thats had it for several months now. I believe he added several clear coats so that would help maintain it from the outside. ...but The I bet it dissolves from the inside out, from the heat pretty quickly.

I have also seen yellow tinted covers (like glassgard) that have been cut to fit on 99 fogs. Those would last for sure. If you can find the site that sells the tinted kind in sheets, Id go with that.

yeah im not even %100 i want them yet

Werd, my honest opinion is that Pdiggs turbo his motor or do SOMETHING to make his car faster.

hey, theres nothing wrong w/ my slow commuter civic's stock d16.........
the money in the swap fund is growing...give it time (I have a lot of expenses)

d16 is where its at... the sooner you see that the better;)

'cept torque

Just ask Da Klown :foot:

shutup. lol.

yeah pdiggity. keep the D man, keep the D...

hmm i dont think the differance is any more than 20 ft lbs in the most EXTREME case... and on average anywhere around 5-10 which is not enough to do flips over... the amount of torque i picked up by adding a bottle BLOWS AWAY the amount i would have picked up doing a swap..
