Spinks's Civic

[spinks]

*You may see some super sweet cosmetic mods in this journal such as tinting various parts of the car and paint/part restoration. DON'T hesitate to ask me to help you out with these little mods and things like headlight clearing and tail light tinting. I will do it for free, and teach you how to do it for next time so long as you supply what I need to do it. Just ask!*

You can find my 240 thread here (http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?289626-Spinks-s-240sx)

This is my daily driver 2007 Civic. It's a base model R18.

Wow, I'm really liking that civic. I liked the candy apple tails the best. The RPF1's are a go, though, they looked really sexy

[quickdodge®]

Lolol. Later, QD.

[ATLTSX]

Lolol. Later, QD.

I'm with you.

I'm not really sure what to say. You were in the middle of your update on your civic and then some random clearing headlights and restoring paint.

GJ?

[Dirty Octopus™]

so wait... you did everything. undid it all. then did it again? :thinking:

[GetFRESH!]

Your user name sounds racist.

[pr8yr]

umm...

[spinks]

It has been wrecked several times and I've gotten tickets for several things on the car, that's why things constantly change. I didn't elaborate on those things.

[spinks]

I'm with you.

I said at the top you may see stuff you want me to help you with like that. So that's where that came from. I don't know what the good job is supposed to mean? Maybe good job not reading the very first thing on my post? I'm not here to make enemies but if you're gonna be a dbag in the first place I really can't see myself replying politly.

[Catnip]

After seeing your threads, your name should be changed to spaz.

Didn't think anything I said made me come across as a dbag. I'm not here to make enemies either nor am here to say someone's car looks like shit. It's your car do what you please. I've never once told someone on these forums that their car looks terrible or that the mods they did were gay. I'm not sure where you are confused on me not reading the first thing in your post? Yes it was GJ on your mods.

[spinks]

Good one

[spinks]

Yes it was GJ on your mods.

Then that was my bad. Sorry about that.

[Burnz1one]

soooo who pays for all this? i see school books in your 240 thread...

The school books aren't mine I was driving my friend to school that week for $. 3 years ago my grandpa gave my parents an SUV that he could no longer use because he is too old now. They traded it in for the civic, a straight trade cause they knew the guy. Both my parents already had cars so they decided to drop it to me a year ago and it couldn't have come at a better time (my 240 was broken down, which I had traded an old truck for) . The carbon trunk was paid for by insurance (see pics where redneck hit me) It costs less to get the CF trunk than to replace it with an OEM one. The carbon hood was also paid for by insurance when I hit a deer. I almost never drop money into anything but as you can see I sprung for some HIDs. The rims are from a tiburon, they're lightweight, have pressure sensors, and are wider than stock. So I'm content with them.

This thread is full of RICE

This thread is full of RICE

It may be, but the people up his ass about where his money comes from need to lay off... It doesn't matter if he got it from being a gay porn star or collecting pennies from the street, that's his business.

This thread is full of RICE

Let's see your car.

[quickdodge®]

This thread is about your car, though, yes? Later, QD.

arent you jeremys brother?

The only reason I'm holding my tongue is because you're a mod. Get off my case. I'm sorry you are so unsatisfied with what you have to do that you have to come police what goes on in MY thread. If you can make fun of someone's car because you think it's rice or garbage, you must have something better to show for it. Apparently he has "set the bar" with his car a little higher than I have with mine (not saying that I have actually set a bar of any kind) .

With all due respect, this is my thread, and my business, and you cant tell me what I can talk about in MY thread. Good day.

What's the deal, dude? I haven't said anything but asked if this thread was about your car? I haven't trashed you or anyone. So tread lightly, man. Nothing is YOURS here. I can delete YOUR thread any time I feel.

There's no reason to continue this in this thread, though. If you'd like to discuss any issues you have with me, I'm more than willing to hear/read you out in PMs so that this doesn't stay this way. Later, QD.

[spinks]

Pm'd

[osnap]

LOL @ this thread.

that's not too bad looking, it's just a bit dirty and fisheyed, but oh well. Just so ya know, Kizuna Kustomz actually uses real paint not niteshades =)

I figured they used candy paint or some ASM stuff. Nite shades doesn't look bad if you know how to do it though. Do you know what they use??? cause I want to buy some and try it.
