Re: Rear End Link Fitment

You've "done hundreds", and that's where prep time comes into play. It sounds like you are painting bumpers professionally, so you need to get them done as fast and as cheap as possible without...

Re: DIY complete body resto-mod of my 95 Prelude

Re: Need help with body molding, 94 Coupe

Just look up the part number from a place like hondaautomotiveparts.com using their diagrams. Then you can either buy from them or find the same OEM parts on some other site you prefer.

Re: DIY complete body resto-mod of my 95 Prelude

Re: Advice on Painting Factory Side Skirts

Those cans generally do somewhere around 15 square feet each, so you should get at least 1 coat depending on overspray, thickness, etc.
