I have a 1995 Honda Civic EX coupe and I would like to make it look better.
There are a lot of questions to ask but here's a few...

Paint: Lime green, Orange, blue...or leave it red?

Is the paint or dye kits for the interior of a car worth it? Can it handle a few hits or does it fall off too easily?

Which type of exhaust system/muffler will give it a great sound?

Is it smarter to put decals on or have the graphics painted on?


Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thank You

I think blue.
I've painted my interior, looks great and stands up to almost everything.
There's so many good exhausts out there that I wouldn't know which one to recommend to you. And also, an intake would give your car a nicer sound too. :)
I would have to say painted on because I've heard about vinyl graphics peeling off and being ruined a lot easier than when they're painted on.

hey kicker can i see a pic of your painted interior?

:sun: Hey Kicker,
What kind of paint did you use?? I painted my interior too. It's red and black. The front of the car is painted, and i painted the rear door panels yesterday. It looks good and it is pretty durable. I was just wondering what kind of paint you used.
thanks :cool:

hey man, that zebra print is sweet. How did you do that?

And hotcivic, I don't remember off the top of my head what kind it is. The cans are at my g/f's house, I'll have to go look.
