1998 Civic Wrap in 3m Dark Satin Grey

[ZacCarter]

Here's a few pics of my civic we recently wrapped in dark satin grey. We did it about 2 months ago and it's still holding up great. We wrapped over the 20 year old black factory paint job.

Looks great.

Now you just need a ground effects kit and a whale tail.

Nice job. Is this metallic? Do you know the code for the vinyl?

It's literally called Dark Satin Grey. not metallic.

Why....who would want....did you... I don't get this at all.

Texas,
Why? - 20 year old paint
Its a Honda, probably will last another 20 years ;p

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't get the appeal of a 20 year old grey Honda Civic...

It would if it had a sign on the side saying "Free Salmon Nuggets"

 

[Texas_Signmaker]

Maybe so... But it would also need a muffler that makes it sound like a pissed off bumble-bee.

At that age for a rice burner, the muffler is rusted and it does sound like that. Wonder what the interior looks like?

LOL this car is my daily driver and I actually continue to drive it. It's still wrapped dark satin grey. We will be re-wrapping it soon using Avery Rising Riptide.

Think what you want about the car but it is actually what modern hot rod guys would call a "resto mod" it has a newer Acura RSX engine and I've done quite a bit to it suspension wise. No it doesn't sound like a pissed off bumble bee.

Here's an updated shot of it:

Well, personally I don't get Texas' statement at all. I mean that body style is pretty timeless. It looks every bit as modern as most 2018 models rolling off the showroom floor and it's a Honda. The damn thing will literally run FOR. EVER. Nice color. That is 3M 1080, I assume? How well is everything holding up 14 months later?

thanks yea it’s 3m 1080, it’s held up great we only had minor issues behind the headlight on the bumper that I just trimmed back and one spot on the side skirt underneath.
