Custom dupont color (new hot hues series) with a fiber images CF hood. The truck in the background is my brother-in-law's and is painted a candy tangerine with red base coat.

I like the paint color. It sorta looks like the new color on the 05' RSX's, looks good. Just need to drop it and you'll be set.

yeah, painting the grill was sort of an experiment to see how it would look and actually, I like the way the color flows. More than likely, I'm cutting it out anyways to put an intercooler in this winter.

The color is from dupont, think the company name is August Flame or something like that. To compete with House of Color, dupont created a new line of paints with candies, base/clears, flakes and pearls called Hot Hues.

You don't paint a car with lowered suspension on it . . . . the Integras are low to begin with and having to sand them (wet sanded completely by hand) and then spray them close to the ground, your back begins to hurt.

aw, if you're going to cut out the center bar of the bumper, you should have done that before painting, because you have to do something to fill in the triangular cut-out areas that it leaves behind after cutting it.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to upgrade the Greddy kit with the IC, but yeah, my plan is to pull the front bumber, cut it, sand it down and then respray the inner part where the grill was black. Cutting the grill leaves a nasty cut area anyways if you don't prep it afterwards and sand it. Figure it's just a little more work, but at least it will be done right,
