Thanks for the reply, but too late, I already ordered some Denso Iridium Powers online, I'll let you know how they workout,

Props to the thread!!!

I had Denso Iridium plugs. They lasted a long time but did not last forever. I reverted to regular over the counter plugs. Though they do not last as long, it's better to have new cheap plugs all the time compared to a single set for a long time. With Iridium's, since they last longer, inspecting and adjusting the gap becomes more important over time. I had not checked my gaps for over a year, when I removed the plugs I was surprised by the amount of material that had worn off of the ground post. The gaps were huge.

Thanks man! It's actually really dirty right now. I've been working on my other car so the Civic is just parked gathering dust.

Gonna give spraying real automotive paint a try tomorrow!

This is not stock but used a so called Water Transfer Printing. You can find videos about the process here: http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...+printing&aq=f

COOL! did you do it yourself or did you send the pieces somewhere to be made? I made my carbon fiber custom gauge as well, but I used 3M adhesive paper. I wanted to do some other interior pieces, but it's hard with 3M.
peace

No I don't have the place and stuff to do the job so I bring the components to a 'specialist'...or decorator. After the printing (moreover dipping) 3 layers matt finish was airbrushed. Altogether was ~45 buck$.

My friend and ex gf came over and helped me sand the hubcaps, put on a roof rack that I picked up. My dad's using it right now to haul a ladder around but it'll be mine come winter time for snowboards


The roof rack is off a 89 Cadillac Deville and brackets didn't fit at all, so I made them fit by bending them to the door frame. More pics tomorrow


Here's pics of the painted bumper, I'm very satisfied with how it came out. I still have more than enough paint to do my sideskirts, front bumper, and whatever else needs painted.




I found 2 runs because the freaking gun was LEAKING FROM THE CUP, I figured out that I should have wrapped the threads with tape first. Otherwise paint is nice and smooth. I didn't sand the rear bumper at all, just prime and paint. Front bumper I'm gonna be more careful on
