Im getting pretty fustrated with my tour!!! No matter how much money I invest into it, It dosent seem to draw any looks! WTF!!!!! lol I goto a lot of car shows, you know do the usual pop the hood and trunk and stuff, but theres nothing really there except a huge ass 1/0 gauge wire and redtop battery, And I wire loomed everything red, but the fact of the matter is that the engine is still stock, nothing fancy smancy. Did I just say smancy?? DAMN IT! I need something to add onto the engine that looks good I dont care If I have to tape a Picture of Britney Spears on the damn thing, I would like people to look and say Hey look at that! The cars an Odd color, its Forest metallic Green I should have got Black, Its a 99' SE leather moon roof ya know the works. Oh well I think im just venting to you guys. Its just that people who buy a civic its like all they have to do its get a new fin and tail lights tint the window and the cars the FUC*ING SH*T talk about picking a hard car to mod out!, Well heres a list of stuff done so far.

Hey, if you want some help, drop me a PM... I'll help you get noticed...

aight well, looking at your lists of mods the only thing that would really draw attention at a car show would be the rims and the system if u had your trunk popped. no one would even know u had all the strobes and neons in the day time. if u want to turn heads, u have to be unique. i suggest getting a bodykit. ground effects can change the whole look of a car. hellahydro is in the works of producing a kit which will cost no more than $750 i believe. after that, maybe powdercoat a few engine pieces like your valve covers and intake manifold. Corbett can tell ya where to go to get that done. also maybe get an svt exhaust to make it look more sporty. im sure some local ceger's have their stock svt exhaust still laying around somewhere. hope this helps.

Giant pink fiberglass bunny ears on the roof would get you noticed for sure!

Go all out...Get eyebrows on the car..graphics and lower it. Some people will call some of this rice...but if you want to turn heads you need to make it stand out. Just do everything tasteful and you should be all set.

Get some lesbians air brushed on the hood!

I want that car from the Tom Green Show,anyone see that episode where he airbrushed lesbiens on his parents car?

Ok back to the main topic, if you want ur engine to stand out, do something unique, whatever you think looks necessary. Itll cost you some money, but itll make your car faster and heads turn too.

Thats where I got the idea from You cant argue the fact that it would definately draw attention.

Could try this...


GR8ride has done something similar as well.

Hey lots of great Ideas I like the lesibans! I dont know how to send a PM. Anyone looking to sell and old SVT exhaust?? Id probally buy it. I seen that picture of the painted engine, but how come the paint didnt melt when it got hot??? Thats another thing I only like my car at night caues most my mods are nighttime. Oh what are eyebrows?? I have the SE body kit on already and ever sense i put the 17 rims with tires the car sits lower and the back tires are rubbing on the wheel wells. SO If i lowered the car ughhh It would break! Ive only got aorund 500bucks to spend this summer on the car, cause I need to save for school again, damn school.
