Well guess my engine bay is pretty "unique", alot of modifications / removal of parts which most people don't go as far as doing
Yeah the radiator is a beast
I repainted it with crinkle paint but left it to dry in freezing conditions in a garage overnight, woops! Think the key is to bake it to get a tighter wrinkle
fogs seem pritty uncommon
enkei rpf1, still to be painted
and probably the rarest mod on my car will be the manifold
Purpose of this thread is to showoff your unique or rare mods/parts, stuff you think nobody else has or has thought of. Or stuff that some people might have but you rarely see, or custom fabricated parts like a one off rear diffuser etc... It dosn't have to be anything special, just something you feel sets your car apart just a bit from the rest or something your proud of for fabbing up or thinking of.
I'll start!!
This is a glass radiator hose insert made by Killerglass It's very strong, they have a vid on the site that shows it being driven over by a very large truck then they use it to hammer in a nail Some people might think its rice, it serves no purpose aside from looks but i love it It's secured by heavy duty shrink clamps, you slide them on then use a heatgun to shrink them, the insert itself is barbed so i have no worries of it leaking what so ever
This was right after install, i had not turned the car on yet:
This is after the car had been started and the fluid was flowing but it had been turned off for about 2 hours so the fluid settled a bit, its usually full

My custom airbox + bumper feed for my J's racing intake..
Love that header type-R-mad, I nearly got one myself but the company that makes them over in the states never replied to my emails... Kinda wish I'd been more persistent!!
my intake mod, volvo a30d dumptruck air feed...perfect fit into the front bumper

I've not seen anyone with a Fujita F5 on a Civic, AFAIK I'm the only person on CivicLife with one and I don't think I've seen any on here either.. I chose it over the AEM V2 'cos everybodys got V2's..
Although I can appreciate they're probably quite common over there
Amazing thread Blinx! That glass hose is immense!
Looks amazing as always, been very envious off your bay since I saw it about 2 years ago when i first joined!

Spoon Mirrors with EK baseplates
Easy tiger, it's all love here it was a legitimate question he asked. Region makes a huge difference, where i live nothing is rare, everybody has rare parts so they are not rare anymore, spoon clusters, CPR and CPF wheels, old school BBS wheels and Mugen parts, everybody has them where i live lol, even yellow Recaro seats!Good for you, i'd say they're pretty rare where i'm from. Lugnuts maybe not, but the mirrors definitely are.
How about a colourcoded spoon spoiler?
