well i guess. but if you had to sit in these or sit in RIPPED UP, BENT UP seats that looked like you were doing the shoulder lean, im sure you'd use these instead. the car was stolen, either junk garbage seats or no seats. ricer seats or junk seats? lol yea theyre ricey but there pretty comfortable. more updates later

Good progress Monkey! Definitely paint the hood and mirrors, I'd do the outside border of that grille too, would add a nice touch. Then drop it, you will be surprised how much the look will improve! Ignore the haters! Honda-tech is teeming with them

What all did you do when you rattled it? Any clearcoat? Looks a whole lot better one color. Now all you need to do is lower it a little bit and it will be looking sweet.

i think i did the most lazyest way possible. i scotch brited the surface to scratch it up nd rough it up. then did a flat black base and just hit it with the black. no clear. but with the results i just might do the whole car. a car wash will get it to blend together a bit better. more pics tomorrow!!

I would put some clear on it to keep it shiny. If not it will more than likely get stained and start to fade.

UPDATES!!!

so today, with the hood all painted, the car deserved a detail. so i washed it up and cleaned it. also got rid of the stock radio


cheap, but its the best deck i've ever used.


i didnt think i needed anything extra for the deck but i guess i did. looks better


hate it or love it










Honestly, im lovin it right now. got the new tires mounted and balenced for free. now it doesnt wander from left to right like the old bald tires did. and the deck sounds really nice with the stock speakers.thats it for now. comments plz!
