Joe's `99 Hatch
Well I had no intentions on making this civic a show car. I couldn't make up my mind about a car for show or go. After time I started to lean more towards the show type as I like the looks but then I drive down the road and car pulls up to me and wants to race so..... How knows maybe a little but of both.
The stock paint job stayed on the car about as long as the new car smell was inside. 3 months after I bought my baby civic I took it to Max's Auto Body in Baltimore, Maryland and added some color depth to the paint. There, they sanded the car with a 1500 grit sandpaper to smooth the paint out for the upcoming gold, and blue, flakes. Covering the new paint job would be 4 full layers of clear coat for the extra depth. The 99 Hatchback sits on a set of 16" TSW Hocks rapping them in 205/40 Series Yokohama H4's.
Lowering the stance for a cleaner appearance the civic was supported by a set of Eibach springs sitting on a a set of Weapon-R adjustable Coilovers .
Some add on's were needed to exclude the civic from the stock model. APC was able to supply me with set of after market side marker lights. The euro clear tails were added on it August of 2001. Listed below are the current mods that I have done. Now remember that I do all my work myself so if something is messed up then that's why. hehe
