Alright well i just picked this 95 coupe Si up a lil while ago so i hope u guys like it! Its got some potential and if u can notice i just recently smoked my headlights! i think they look good anywayz, without any furthur adue!
here they are!

I know its dirty, but all in all wut u guys think? potential or what!!
Some thoughts on the colour too!!

95 coupe Si? The Si was hatch-only, no?
I like the color - should make a great project.

Maybe he's from canada?

Anyway, nice color, it should respond well to carbon fiber, atleast thats what I would do. Anyway, I'm assuming it has a Z6, and I'm sure you know what I would do to it. Good luck, How much did you get it for?

 

[94Civic_R]

got it for $4000 only has 120000 kms on it and yes i am from canada thats why its a coupe si

If I had a nickel for every time I assumed my USDM Honda knowledge applied worldwide, but didn't, I'd be a fucking millionaire by now.

Nice ride dude.

[mulletov]

[94Civic_R]

Nice.Im really liking that color as well.How Did you smoke the headlights?I wanted to get the JDM headlights but until then i wanna smoke my stock ones.Nice project though,wish I had some more cash to start another project.

 

[scottigee]

to smoke:

remove headlights
pop them in the oven to heat up the seal
pop off the lense
spray paint all the mirrored surfaces with a THIN coat of black
silicone-seal the lense back on
reinstall

[edit] I didn't think it was necessary but maybe I should add this - take out your bulbs! mask anything that you don't want painted.

 

[94Civic_R]

Yeah just make sure that you don't paint the reflector part or else your light output will be very weak looking. I've seen a few people make this mistake and they either have to buy a new headlight or take all the paint off with paint thinner. Other than that... exactly what scottigee said. Make sure it's a light coat. You can even throw them back in the oven after you paint them (well that's what I did) to bake the paint on. :tu

 

[scottigee]

that's a good point - I shouldn't have said "paint all the mirrored surfaces"

 

[94Civic_R]

nice diagram! rep for u

 

[commador]

that's a good point - I shouldn't have said "paint all the mirrored surfaces"

with 6th gens the reflector bowl can come out seperate from the part you want to paint though, eg's are one piece, so it must be masked.

You can paint the whole thing, but there is only one way to do that.....

....similar to what egvtec has i love his car! :clap

If only you knew....can you say, ghetto? :lol

so i can do that and just switch lenses?

 

[94Civic_R]

so i can do that and just switch lenses?

what do you mean just switch lenses? not quite getting wut u mean....

 

[scottigee]

take the clear plastic cover (lense) off the housing
paint it
then put the lense back on...no switching.

 

[94Civic_R]

it says right in the instructions that u wrote just replace the lense.. on our civic the lense is glass btw. not plastic :tu

 

[scottigee]
