Default The Benen car

Could someone post a pic of the green hatch with the "different color engine bay spot" or whatever. I want to see what you all are talking about. All I am getting in the other threads where there are supposed to be pics are a bunch of red x's...Thanks

They must be hiding them, it was just part of the firewall that wasn't painted to match the rest of the car. Forget about it, the topic was beaten to death.

Yeah I know, I looked through the six pages of it. I think that car is the ****, no matter what the engine bay looks like. I just want to see what the picky people were looking at.

Yeah they've disabled the link, but that's okay. I saved the picture to my hard drive at work, so if you really want to see it then I'll hit you up with it Monday.

In before the lock!

You guys can chew on the pic for a while if you like

I'm not going to post about it because the last time I did a 6 page flamewar erupted.

Later!

That's funny you mention the silver one...

The insides of it are the stock Phantom Grey color

Anybody got the pics to show that off too?

Damn bro. Get over it. You always try to knock on them about this damn detail. They own the ride, so I think they have the power to do what they want with it. If they don't want to get this part of the car painted right now, or if they don't want do it at all, well that's their personal choice. We all know that you are proud that you painted your entire car, but get over it. I know you are a good guy, but it's a Honda board where we get tips, technical informations and talk with other people who share the same passion and not to critize a car because of a detail aspect.

"Damn bro. Get over it"

I couldn't agree more. So what if you have a color matched engine bay. BIG ******* DEAL.

What happened to all the function over form bullshit you are always preaching.

Sure guys, go ahead and attack me if you'd like to.

The ******* point is that evryone raves on the cars like they are ******* perfect but they are not.

You're right - BIG ******* DEAL - so why won't anyone get of their nuts then?

I'm not looking for some ******* praises about my own personal car being painted totally. It's my car and if you like it don't then FINE, but please feel free to experess your opinions about it just like I'll express mine about the Benen cars too.

And I have never always been about "function" only - I'm just into functional mods and clean cars.

Whatever - keep bashing me if you like, but it won't bother me one bit. I'm not quite sure why you guys feel the need to defend a huge-*** business like Benen over some cars that they showcase as the **** for their products.

Please point out to me in this thread where I ripped on their cars.

i think there is a difference between a decent paint job and a set of altezzas.

Ok man you go ahead and drive around in your muticolored beast. Then have secound doubts on whether or not you should have saved a couple more bucks instead of rushing to it and doing half. Thats about equivalent to those dumbasses who get body kits and don't paint it until three months later. Just one more thing, don't get on other member's asses just because they strive for perfection and you don't.
