1flyex em2 build!!!
well first I'm new here. I've been trolling around this forum for awhile and finally decided to register. I have a 2003 civic ex coupe originally it was eternal blue in color.....
that picture was taken shortly after installing the Megan 32way adjustable coilovers and eibach front and rear swaybars
this was taken before i dialed it down another inch
thats how it sat about 2 months ago
my wife backed into it when backing out of our driveway with our 09 honda pilot
thats when I decided it was time to put all my painting "know how" to good use....
first lets attack that nasty rear quarter....I have a unispotter from matco tools awsome thing to have when you have a dent right on the body line...whats really nice about using the tool is that you really dont have to use any body filler. All I ended up using was glazing putty.
more dents and more blocking
needs a tack cloth then its off to the booth!!!!! unfortunatly I have no booth pics as I was to busy painting
here is the first pic of the paint job. I went with the same eternal blue pearl coat on the bottem. I went with a custom white with blue pearl tri coat on the top with a custom orange pin strip!!! now for all the pictures
you can see the tinted tail lights
in this pic if you look at the mirror you can see the blue pearl!!!!!
here it is with its new exhaust!!!
Future mods include:
new rims
pulling togather parts for a k24 swap (in progress)
paint some of the interior pieces (in progress)
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK....... all criticisms welcome!

Re: 1flyex em2 build!!!
what kind of exhaust is that? i like the creative paint scheme. that little droop in the white adds character. you actually did a damn good job on the painting if you did that yourself. let me know when you get new wheels. i'll buy those Si wheels off you. aside from that, im not too big of a fan of tinted lights... just not my thing, but to each his own.

The didn't tint the lights till I was putting the car back together in the garage. I had them on not tinted just didnt look right. I will try and post a pic of it without tinted lights I have one here some where
.
what kind of car do you drive? anything I would know? what part of wisconsin do you live in (pm me if you want)
what I meant was I have been lurking without posting lol
It was a last min. decision... i initially had it taped off straight buy decided to put the dip in the pinstripe.

Matt has a K24 swapped EL Front Em2... Go to the 2001-2005 post your car and I believe his is like the first or second post.
Your car. I respect the amount of work put into it but it would have looked way better solid blue, or solid white. I love that pearl though.
