my summer's project complete(db8 content, many pics)
ok, the summer started out with her needed rear trailing arm bushings, and toe adjustment arms. then she also got 4 new kumho tires, and a 4300K hid kit as well. i then removed the window tint and got a custom new catback exhuast to replace the fart can. its still all 2.5 inch but it has a stock lookin muffler now. dynomax ultraflow muffler, black slant cut tip, 2.5 pipe, and a magnaflow resonator.
then onto the next project, time to go back to stock green. started sandin the 20 dollar paint job off, the matte black one. that was rough, even with a DA and 80 grit paper
ran out of time before school, but i still have all of these goodies i want to put on there.
all wetsanded and ready to go except for the door moldings and the itr lip.
and just a quick stupid pic of my dirty *** engine bay and hids
and some pics of her all finished. not too much daylight tho.
the new stockish lookin exhaust
s2000 antenna and new integra badge
painted the sideskirts and the type r lip.
and finally some daytime pics
still needs a little more buffin on the hood, roof, and trunk lid in some spots. dont think i buffed quite long enough, i can still see a lot of the sand marks.
not sure when the engine goodies are gonna get on, maybe not at all. startin to contemplate wether or not i wanna mod the car anymore or just be happy and drive it. but thats it for now

I'd lower the front just a tad, and tuck the fender well lining inside the fenders

my buddy sprayed it. it came out ok for the $345 i have into the paint job. only one thing went wrong. from sandin all the layers of paint the surface was a little uneven, so when i went to get sealer primer the guy didnt give me nearly enough to do the car. i asked if what he was sellin me was enough to do my car, and he said pelnty. well, it did half the car, so you can see a lot of the places i sanded low. but other than that i'm quite happy with it

Re: (GSR-T-)
yeah i had to do it that way, even with 80 grit on a da it took 6 hours just to get the black paint off the hood of the car. the car has been painted too many times to repaint again without sandin layers off. i dont think it wouldve stuck
