Default Chianti Red....Just got my civic painted

Heres a few pics of my "new" civic. I sold my other hatchies, and happened to come across a good deal. I jumped on it. My bro-in-law painted it for me. I know I need some wheels, but give me your opinion on the car and color. Chianti Red hatches in the house!!!!

How it looked when I brought it home.



Two weeks later at my bro-in-laws paint shop. (Which was yesterday morning)



Just got it back today. I like the color. It is different from alot of the other reds on the civics. I wanted something a little darker, so I went with Chianti Red (R-67M). It is very pretty.





I will get more pics on a sunny day. It looks like its about to rain outside right now.

The color is nice, bro. It may need a bit of wetsanding and polishing, but I think it looks hot. I've always liked that style of body kit for the EF's.

It must not have ever occured to you to have the gaps under the headlamps filled, huh?

Because I wanted to and its mine Whats so wrong about the fit??? Besides the gap under the headlights that you see on the pics?? Thats the way it came, I assume. Most of the ones I seen have that same fit. Also my boyfriend took the pic and he is 6'4 and was standing on a higher level than the car was, so it may have made the gap look big but, it is not.

Anyways, thanks for the replies, negative and positive.
