Very nice paint, and color. I think it's ime to get some bigger wheels and maybe a b16a?

It's also very nice to see more people from QC on this board...

Yhea I know the wheel are way too skinny, those are 13 inch, but I must save for the Volks wheels, you know those are really costly.
the paint is in PPg Deltron,
4 coat of base coat, 4 coat of clear in epoxy clear, then it was polished.
it look really sweet, I paid 2000$ for the paint and labour, but I have to do a big part of it myself, like remooving the light, the bumper, all iner ferder, etc etc etc,
for the engine it was done way before paint job since performance is more my way:
here a pics of it

it's a d15b, the head was ported, polished and shaved a bit, got a 2 1/4 exaust piping, and a zex 55 hp set up. intake and fpr.
that's about it
I'm happy to see more quebec people on here too!!

Looks awesome, but my advice get some Rota's. It takes a lot away from your hatch.

Why put on some Rota's ?? I thought the Volk's where lighter then the Rotas??? I may be wrong though, I want them in 15 or in 16 I dont have made my mind at this point.
the actual rims i got are Some Manguel, in 13 inch, they don't look bad to me, anyway, better then steelies, and the tire are not very costly, the very best I can put on them is around 125 $. I actually got some good year, but the firestone are more sticky.
keep up posting some comment,
see ya

From what I can see the color looks good, but dark colored cars in the shade doesn't do much help to really judge it, daytime pictures would help.

Nice shot with the sunsetting in it , it shows different variations of blue
