It's unique, and I like that.

I bet a lot of people will ask you, "What color are you going to paint it?" - brace yourself.

It looks kinda similar to primer to me, but I like the *sparkle*, but it's all in what you like man.

Keep on doing what you do.

I don't see the uniqueness to it. Looks like just another flat black honda. Haven't see it on a dc integra yet, but see it all the time on civics.

What do I think of it? Hate it. Please tell me that's only a temporary thing, right? I would have at least removed the taillights and front bumper and all that, etc.

What color was the 98 front end you got? I sported my 2000 front end in black (actually painted black w/ clear) for almost 8 months before finally getting the whole car repainted my stock Paradise Blue (teal) color.

Now if the front end you got was red or something, I can understand that, but still, I sure hope it's only temporary.

it just looks like it's primered.

i honestly don't understand why people would want to make a car so dull colored. that entire article in SCC was stupid too.

i feel like i should be writing my vector calculus problems on it with some chalk.

but props for doing it on your own

i'm very suprised on so many people saying it looks good
come on now its like primer. of course it doesent look as good as a car with a paint job
i hope you only did this cuz your paint was really messed up and its only temparry untill you get a paint job .
i really couldent understand why any one would want to do this to there car are leave it like like that and like it too

your like asking i just just primered my car what do you think.
what is there to think its primered

your question is like asking i just put a stock d seris in my teg what do u think

i think it sucks that what i think. i see it as a major downgrade

I like satin black cars, when done right it looks bad ***..
Id sand it down though, shoot it again, and then wet-sand it smooth- flat black just looks like primer and it looks bad when its splotchy.

I usually wouldnt give criticism, but i mean it constructively, and since you asked

i like it bro, not something you see everyday on a DC, at least i dont.. **** all these haters.

its all in what you like. but i would highly recomend that you at least put some clear over just that, or paint it SSBP it will look 243143057235-489073250723504509 times better then just the plain black..

but again, its all in what you like.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 95lstegman &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">it looks like ****. wanna know why? when you see sweet rides that are flat black, what are they? they're older japanese cars. older japanese cars don't have the beautiful curves of newer ones, they have sharp lines. they look more agressive and more simple, so a simple flat black paint job can look very cool, very old school. take a newer car, with it's gorgeous lines, like a DC integra, and you need a matching paint. like Laguna Seca or Electron or Paradise Blue, or Milano Red, or Pheonix Yellow, or Championship White. you need a color that suits the integra's smooth, flowing lines.

summary: you suck and have no sense of taste whatsoever</TD></TR></TABLE>

heyyyy you left out Paradise Blue Pearl

IDK, it seems like a waste to me to just sand away the paint and rattle can your Integra. But hey, different people have different tastes.
