:D

I know damn it right? Damn it for getting 40mpg and starting up every time I want it to!!! :spin1:

Jim props on the phot skills

Thanks! It's funny I took about 150 shots and those 5 are the only ones I felt were worth a damn.

[Caribou Lou]

My friend has a '06 Civic that has under 30k miles, and its been nothing but a problem. Probably a fluke though.

[jeeperjohn]

I'm gonna have to site you for that missing front plate! :D

[sherman08]

:doh: It getts addicting cuz its just so darn easy to work on those cars.
It looks nice de-bagged.
IMO its not rice out of the box, it depends on what you do to it. Dragon vynils, wings, and neon is rice... I have faith that you will make it a nice clean looking ride. (never call your own car rice... thats not cool)

[xcm]

needs advan

[BajaCurt]

Every time I see this post I think it says "The Mud Bog has already struck!!!!"
Boy was I disappointed the first time I read it :dunno:

But it is a nice ride for the lady Jim.

[89cherokeexj]

My buddy has a turbo one, it is definently fast for what it is!!!!

Anyways nice car man, my first car was a honda. I'd have to say that even though it was only a 1990 and had tons of miles on it, it was the most reliable thing I have ever owned, and the gas mileage was awesome!!!

[xtimmax]

I'm gonna have to site you for that missing front plate! :D

Hmm, i should start on that right away :)

Ugh... this thread wasn't meant for off topic... it was originally in socal. A mod moved it, excuse the civic in your off topic. XXXXing stupid

[fscrig75]

what did you use to remove the badges?

[crazyjim]

what did you use to remove the badges?
Dental floss and a hair dryer.

[fscrig75]

Dental floss and a hair dryer.


Sounds like that takes a bit of time, alcohol to remove any excess?

[crazyjim]

Not too bad actually, get it warm with the hair dryer, then start to run the dental floss behind the emblem. Fish line works better, but I didn't have any, and broke the floss a few times.

You'll have excess left over, but heat it up, won't take long. It'll actually be hot to the touch, and start to roll the glue/tape off. At the very end I used denatured alcohol to remove the rest, then put a coat of wax on the entire car.

Nice, looks good!

I've always liked cars w/o badges. A lot of the real nice cars I would see in Europe wouldn't have badges on them, you would know they are nice but never exactly sure what model they were.

I'm hoping to do something like this to my wifes WK. I'd like to make it badgeless, and then get some imitation SRT8 wheels for it. Can't really change the way the exhaust exits the vehicles but it will still look good.

[CherBear]

Im not suprised to see that many of you XJ-ers have gas sipping DDs as well...
Makes me want to buy one as a summer car. ( Damn, then why would i ever take off the doors)

funny, thats how i got rid of my ex wife....
