New hood yesterday, new paint today.
After 2.5 years of working on my EJ1, I can safely say I'm happy where it sits today. I got the car sprayed at a local Earl Scheib; I only paid about $500. For what I paid it turned out very well. It will look even better once I buff everything.
I'm still waiting for my moldings, fog light covers and lip to get sprayed; I'll be picking those up Monday.
Yes, I know the corner light looks like ***; it'll fit really nice once I actually sit down and take care of it.
Check out my project thread for the entire ins and outs here:

Thanks for looking!

If you checked out my project thread/read my original post (which you didn't) you would've known that I have wheels and am planning to buff it out later on in the week.

Yeah it is, I threw it on really quick today. I'll be fixing it as the week comes.

I completely agree. To everyone who is hating, I JUST got the car back hours after I made this thread. I had other things I had to do today; hence I couldn't buff and wetsand it. This is coming later in the week.

I have a Mugen V2 (from JDMSh!t) that I'm going to put on. I've always preferred the EG skirts over EK (I like the simplicity of the EG) and I've never been a fan of mudguards. Thanks for all your support through my project! I'll try to get at a meet before I move out to Idaho!

Re: New hood yesterday, new paint today. (JDM-EJ1)
