Default finally got my baby painted

Hey, i finally got my car painted and was wanting everyone's opinion. Be honest, you cant hurt my feelings. Also, i am looking for a set of Rota GT3's (red w/ polished lip) I might be willing to trade my blades or civic si wheels, for a complete set



This is what it used to look like

it might be just be the pictures, but it looks like it might need to be wet sanded and buffed?

looks good. now you just need the holes on the hood filled with an emblem.
did they shave your wiper nipples?
... and spray that rear wiper with black paint and you are clean.

well considering that i just got the car back monday evening, those are the first pics that was taken, and we will be wet sanding and buffing it in a couple of days, it has been way to hot to do it lately
