Hi, everyone

I'm 20 yrs old and live in Sofia, Bulgaria

Here's my ride - a black '96 Civic EK4 with 118 500 km on the odometer, when i bought it in september 2008. These are my very first pics of the car:

I started with grill and sidemarkers:

Next in my list - OEM facelift EK taillights:

I removed the emblems from the trunk lid:

It was time to replace my nasty rims with something better. My choice was ROTA Fighter 16" in bronze finish with Yokohama Parada Spec-2, size 205/45/R16:

I wanted an EK9 shift knob and here it is:

The rear lights were converted to an EK9 style:

This is all for now! Stay tuned for more updates ;)
 
nice car! What size are the rims though? They look like 17's...or the ride height is stock. I can't really tell.
 
nice, I like everything you have done so far :)

btw, where do you guys get your signatures from? the ones with the cartoon EKs which looks exactly like your cars
 
thanks :) I just found it nice to have a cartoon version of your personal car
 
nice car dude, really love eks in black color.

......
Sofia is a beautifull town, remember when I visited it a good few years back.

Can't say the town is beautiful, but the women are gorgeous!

Here's some progress after today's work on the car. We decided to fix some problems on the bodywork and to repaint some parts. Tomorrow we'll put the car together again and sand the paint.

These cartoons are called Pixel Art :) I made it myself - all u need is to find a pixel art of ur car model and then to customize it on Photoshop to look like ur own ride.

Here u can find some Honda pixel arts.

I used this one to make my signature ;)

your car looks great! :) thanks for the pixel art, but where can I get a copy of photoshop as I would really like to do this also? thanks :)
