My Build Thread
Well first off, sup guys??!! This is my first post on here, even though I browse the forum from time to time getting tips and tricks for my own civic.
My car is currently getting repainted... I will update this thread every now and then, so tell me what you think...
Paint is House Of Kolor Prism Metallic
The door handles, mirrors, and rear trunk molding are being painted too. The roof is getting sprayed black...
Also ordered slotted/cross drilled rotors, and ebc greens...
So the paint is coming along; I know the pics suck they came off of a camera phone, I will get the high res images up soon... You really cant appreciate this paint without seeing it in person. Its really nice.

Re: My Civic Build Progress
New Updates:
Added some pearl to the roof and cleared it.
Scuffed the bumpers, mirrors, handles, and rear trunk molding; cleaned, and shot with base..
Tomorrow more base, pearl then clear... Then wet sanding the body again, and more clear... 4 coats of clear total.
Parts:
VIS OEM Carbon Hood - waiting
Slotted Rotors - already in
EBC Greens - already in
Black Housing projectors - waiting
Wheels - TBA??? 18" Rota D2's??? Need Ideas...
Should I add pearl to the carbon hood??? I really dont know.. The roof came out awesome! It looks black in the dark and in the shade, but when the sun hits it it changes color like whoa!
Let me know what you guys think.
