Paint looks nice.Love the color. Nice work. An OEM Si grille, OEM lip, and some mouldings. Work on the drop and you've got yourself a dope car.

Is the roof still primered?

BTW, you won't get into EKS with Rota's.

This belongs in A/C though.

i have a lip and jdm side moldings on the way. this weekend i'm gonna drop it right above the tires cause it is gettin it's 4x4 on a little. as for the roof, yeah it's primer. can't decide to go black or same as rest of car since the hatch is black. rota's won't cut it for EKS huh? damn, guess i'll have to step my juego up then.

Dude, the car is sick...no rota's won't cut it for EKS, but that's where you're going wrong. Build it for you, not some elitist online "squad".You have to drive it everyday, we all just see pics of it and give or don't give online approval. At the end of the day, it's your money going into it, and so far you're doing a great job. It looks damn good as is, minus the few things you're working on. As for the roof, paintmatch it. (IMO)

I like it... Like everyone said just get the mouldings on..

Other than that the only things im not feeling is the height, a few more inches wouldnt hurt, and the grill isnt really my cup of tea..

ya, it's not a huge deal to get into EKS. if it happens it happens, if not, i'm not losing any sleep over it. i am leaning toward the paint match also.

Not my cup of tea, but the grille definitely doesn't go with the style you're trying to do.

I really would have suggested you just match the roof when you got the rest of the car painted. That way there's no chance of it not matching and you could always repaint if you needed. Not to mention you don't want to roll with raw primer.

Oh, and just report your first post to get the thread moved.

the roof was painted when it was first done. the latch on the C/F hood that used to be on there broke, flew back and put a nice dent on the roof, along with cracked windshield. so after the body work that's how she stayed. but it won't be for long. btw, how do i report this to get it moved? thanx.
