-used back bumper
- new headlights

Sorry for the crappy cel phone pics, will get a better pictures on a better camera soon. Hope you liked!

 

very nice job man
props to you doing it urself

 

My friend helped me out alot on this, we both put alot of effort.

 

Updated Pix with better quality camera. ^_^

 

that color is so nice. probably a lot better in person. i can make out the pearl

 

and what grit sandpaper u use to sand the car down. and did u use the orbital sander on the whole car or something else for tight spots

 

tight...

 

nice

 

damn good stuff here!

 

We did not use the orbital sander on the whole thing, just one some of the bondo/ primer spots. Most of all was done by hand, i forgot what grit we used, I'll have to go back and look. :-P

 

Looks nice.

 

looks good...but why did you leave the bumpers on and the Honda emblem on the back...heads and tails too...went through all that trouble, shoulda jus done it 100% correct.

 

We put a clear coat on the tails and over the honda emblems, we peeled the tape off after the green was put on and cleared the tails and emblems. We did not clear the headlights though.

 

paint looks crispy man good job

 

hood looks streaked

 

Looks great man good job. How much was it to rent the booth? And how long did you need to rent it for?

 

I didn't wanna be the first one to point it out. But good job on the rest of the car!

 

It cost me 500 for the booth time and paint. Me and my friend did the body work ourselves.

 

excellent job always good to see people doing body work and paint work the proper way

 

New hood.. What was the original colour of it? I'm not sure

 

love the color man and props to doing it yourself. i wish people in CT rented out booths
