Pic of my EK9 Hatch
Hey guys, here is a few pics of my 99 Civic Hatch that I have been working on for the past 4 or so years. Its been through a lot of changes in that time but I finally like where its at now.
The paint is brand new, its Cadillac Diamond Pearl White (same color thats on the Escalade and the CTS)
Motor is a USDM B18C5
All parts used on my car are JDM OEM Honda parts (example would be Authentic JDM CTR front and rear lips, CTR Grill and CTR Rear wing. Also JDM Thin side moldings and Authentic Spoon Sports CF Mirrors)
My baby will be put away soon, as I am pulling the C5 out soon and doing a complete rebuild for boost. I am aiming somewhere in the area of 400-500 WHP once all is said and done.
I will be purchasing a S2000 Within the next month or so, so this will be my fall/winter project.
Any comments or questions welcomed.
Thanks

Couple questions:
-Are those CTR headlights?
-Are those Rotas?
Car looks nice, everyone loves a nice EK. I would have chosen a different color and left the tint at home personally. Leave that blingy crap for the Escalades and G35's. CW or even GPW would be more subtle and tasteful (IMO).

Yes those are Rota Slipstreams (16x7's) and no, those are just the stock Headlights (for now 
)
As for the paint, I REALLY dont like CW, its just way to plan for me and reminds me of a fridge or a stove. This Diamond Pearl White actually isnt as flashy as one may think. Its just looks like an off white with a bit of pearl when the sun hits it just the right way.
I was nervious that it might looked to blinged out for my liking, but when I saw the finished product, I was very happy with it.
Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the comments guys! I was going to sell her, but for the money, time and effort I put into this car, I desided to keep her. The garage is going to look sweet with my Hatch AND a SilverStone S2K!
