![]() Well most of you know I bought Mycror's xmods lot awhile back.
![]() Out of all of the xmod bodies that I think deserved a make-over the most is................. The XMODS Generation 1, Honda Civic. My plans with this, seeing as I had a Civic before, and at that, the same body colour. Black. However, the final outcome will not be black. However, here's my plans now. -Fix all of the holes that were drilled into the body. -Find Civic mirrors, and attempt to fix the overly enlarged mirror slot. -Locate Civic both front headlamp lenses'. -Create an extreme kit for the Civic, so it will have the following ; Stock, Mild, Wild, and an Extreme body kit selection. -Repaint the Civic after all of the crap above is done. -Find some rims that look good on the Civic, if at all possible.(A second set that will work for the extreme kit also. -After all body-work is done, chassis mods.... 6-cell, locked rear diff or a custom hand made AWD system(Might include a driveshaft if I cannot locate a long one.) -Lights perhaps. -Rework the suspension all around. Enough talk, here's what it looks like right now. I have removed the putty to fill the holes in properly. I have cut up a stock Civic front bumper for the extreme front bumper. Using stock side skirts to make the extreme side skirts. Using a Wild rear bumper to make the extreme rear bumper. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's it for now, hope to get the front bumper somewhat started tomorrow after work. Tom. |

![]() And yes, I do believe I took a picture of the good stock front bumper to the new custom one. You'll see how much was cut off soon... ![]() That is what I thought for the longest time also, I didn't really know why they were there to begin with, but some of the other bodies have holes in them also, that I have to fix if I want too that is... Mycror says it's meant for cooling purposes, but I don't want it lol. Quote:

![]() ![]() Anyhow, enough talking... I know you guys are wanting pictures. From start to current state. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's about it for now... I'm going to fill in the holes with some more of the WoW cards I have laying around(good thing I kept them ![]() Then I will get started on making the sideskirts. Problem is, it's going to be on the hard side of things, so I may have to use tape on the front fenders so I can, glue onto the tape, and hope it doesn't bleed through and attach to the body, if it does I will be well... You know... COMPLETEY FUBAR'D! ![]() Tom. |

![]() Bumper is 99.5% done if I choose to make it so the side skirt meets the front bumper arch(will be made after) or 100% if I just make the entire side skirt roll the front arches. ![]() ![]() This is my problem here right now... If I go with rolled arches, it's harder on making them. If I go with a more square box like fender then it will be easier overall. Tom. |
