Not my steez. Asking for trouble. You will be familiar with your local police department soon enough.

 

Am already friends with most of my local PD and detectives...good peoples...and they just pull me over to ask what kind of paint it is

Car dosent see much driving time....just on nice sundays and to shows

 

LOOKS LIKE THE WORK YOU GOT DONE WAS DONE THE RIGHT WAY

 

Please use stock lights all around, it'll look 10x better IMO..

 

sick color

 

wow, u RUINED that car. took a perfectly sick color and put cheap, ugly lights on it. and why the hell, if u spent so muc money on it anyway, didnt u get a jdm front with the vis mugen bumper?? it just shows what happens when ricers get rich

Yes, i know my choices with this car somewhat conflict with the Honda-tech way of thinkin...And yes in 5 or 10 years (or less) all the JDM ****** are gonna be considered a new breed of rice...
And im not rich i just work my *** off... Why would I get a ViS Mugen bumper, so i can wait for the fiberglass to get all spider cracks and start to chip.

At the end of the day its my car, my money.

Just thought people would appritiate a car that has been done the right way, not with 10 pounds of bondo and a Macco paint job....then again it is a open public forum...so to each thier own.

And I'm not a big fan of bodykits...but on this car...the Wings West/Mugen kit is the only kit i would put on....IMO its the only one that flows with the body lines and compliments the car.

::Sorta UPDATE::
Mesh Grills where painted matte black
and the hood is a ViS SiR for the USDM front...Center raised section was painted...
Black from headlights flow onto the CF of the hood
Also CF sunroof panel also just got cleared and installed (still functional)

Stfu you bitter bitch.

I'm not crazy about the car or the color but congrats to you.

 

whoa buddy....the hostility has to simma down

 

good job man. as of now, it's only a dream for me to have my car repainted.

 

How much did the paint job run you?

 

def. bright

 

hmm i guess the paint job is nice.

 

damn its still not done!? anyway looking good. not a fan of the headlights though.

 

from one kandy guy to another. looking good. it must be shining when the sun hits. just wondering, did you use the h.o.k clear or ppg?

 

can you explain why you masked like that?? I'm just wondering cause ive never seen it like that before...

cause spraying kandy, the paint is thin and youll have to spray in one motion or else hes going have blotches or cloudy spots. that picture, hes taking care of the jambs first so he doesnt have to worry about overspraying the outside later. take care of all the hard spots first then put all the doors, hood, etc. back on and then just lay the paint on the exterior after.

 

nice paint dude

 

I like it, very clean.

 

looks good your car looks so tasty

 

damn, not digging the kit or headlights, but i love the color. and you're right, to each his own.

...just dont call JDM rice. just because ricers will start JDMing doesnt mean it'll become rice. or does it? whatever, when i move to japan i dont have to deal with jdm ******

 

nice color choice

Yea when the sun hits it it just glows...EVERYTHING HOK was used, from the Orion Silver base, to the clear, to the reducers and catalysts.

Painting Kandy takes experience and its not just like any other paint job...I know of other local bodyshops that have tried it multiple times on a car and still dont get it right and end up bringing it to the bodyshop where my car is at.
If you dont paint the car in certain stages, basically the kandy will build up where you dont want it to, and you will get dark (in this case) red outlines on everything.
The more you build up the kandy the darker it gets.

I know some of you are not liking the headlights and the kit and bla bla bla...but i guess thats what i get when you try to be different and dont jump on every bandwagon.
