Hey guys, new to this forum.

I've got a 2000 Civic 1.4 LSi and it's a gem, however I hate the interior. Is there any way I can replace the wooden thing on this picture with something else, as well as the rest of the wood themed pieces in my car?

Cheers.

on ebay, i cant find them right now but there is a company that make replacement parts for loads of different cars and there is a selection fo stuff from carbon fibre to brushed aluminum

 

[tjommas]

ah nice, do they do for specific models like my Civic or do they need details about it, and are they cheap/expensive? just wanna replace that awful wood theme. sure u cant remember their name?

 

[Skinny]

take a look at that.. if it matches up to your dash, id get that.. theres an option of what covering you want too..

I'm sure they will have a kit for something like a civic they are pretty common cars really

 

[tjommas]

ok, so i'll just email them and ask if they can do it for my car then?

 

[Skinny]

yeh mate, worth a try.. its an american company though so dunno about things like left hand drive etc. Good luck.

 

[tjommas]

well, after doing come comparison it seems some of the parts on the kit may fit, however the main wood that i wanted gone is apparently not offered: the wood to the right of the passenger air vent

see comparison below:

from eBay:

my interior:

Cars of the same shape but different trim will have different interiors.

OK, will check it out.

Do I have a EG or EJ Civic? :v

you could pull the wood out, sand and prepare it for taking a primer then spray it whatever colour u want.

 

[tjommas]

sounds like too much work, i'd prefer eBay but i'll probably have to do it if no one can offer me a dash kit for my car.

 

[tjommas]

jesus christ, it's not a LSi, it's a iS can someone give me any info on my car? i know nothing about it except it being a civic... i know that there's a B18C4 engine in it.

 

[crxhugh]

i've heard of si but not is?? i dont think its the b18c4, as it doesn't say vtec down the side, or have the correct wheels or foglights. the best way to find out is to lift the bonnet and look for the blue alluminium plate above the battery on the bulkhead, this will tell you the model number, engine code etc

i hate to say this but them cars are the same inside to a rover of the similar shape , as honda had a tie with rover for many years ( what were honda thinking) but there you go , it would be worth checking out some rover interiors of the same basic shape car , there will be plenty of scrap rovers about.

 

[stug45]

you could go the spray root. just pull them off and take them to a sprayers. then thin double sided or hot melt glue or even araldite or similar

 

[Jugga]

try parker, carfolio or wikipedia for info on your car.

the rover thing is true and it sure looks like a rover style interior

yours will not be an eg put im not sure the exact one.

you could try gettin the dash from higher spec coupes in that range/age like vti or maybe even the aerodeck

 

[stug45]

wood is found in luxury cars....why do u want to get rid of the luxury!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[paul20v]

wood is also found in austin allegros

 

[stug45]

i havent seen one of them on the road for about 10 years!!!!
