I painted over the letters and then scraped and sanded the letters after the paint was cured.

Re: Official EP3 Picture Thread
Yeah dude that's what always bugged me about peoples diy's, I feel like everything that's unpainted from the factory should stay that way especially the oil cap hole. I've painted quite a few vc's and i've always been really meticulous about my masking

Re: Official EP3 Picture Thread
I have some in car vids with my 2000 Civic Si that I raced for the most part this season but I haven't formated the ones with the EP3 yet...I will try to do so this weekend!
A couple of laps at the Grand Prix of Trois-Riviere where I finished 2nd.

This is the first few laps from my race at Calabogie, I get up to 4th place in this race but with 2 laps to go I get runoff the track and finish 8th

No unfortunately we didn't make it out there this season. We've had our ups and downs, alot of drive train issues that were going to sort out in the off season.

Re: Official EP3 Picture Thread
Thanks alot dude well def give your car the SHG treatment when you come up. I think all she needs is a little TLC and she will be on another level. IMO it would look great with another volvo lip, oem headlights, and oem finish fat 5's. give it a nice oem-ish look. Although for some reason im really really feeling those wheels you have on it now. Looks pretty dope.
BTW i compounded and polished the plug cover and it really brought out the weave!

Nice, I wish I had "vtec" though haha. Maybe after I get my JRSC I will get a compete exhaust, until then my stockie axle back and 2.5" midpipe will suffice.
