Hello, this is my official build thread of my honda civic EJ8. Two months ago i paint the car. Right now I'm on vacation in USA. Returns on 5 August and start sanding the car to then polish and shine it. Then i will make the wire tuck brake tuck, paint the engine bay and engine & trans because my engine bay is a soup of wires(ugly). Once i finish the wire & brake tuck , I'll start working with interiors, changing seats, putting a new carpet and paint everything black inside. Good reviews and bad are welcome. Thank you.

Now installing the 99-00 front end.

Me and the civic..

 

Good work. I really like those old GSR Hammerhead wheels. Wish I still had a set of those.

Glad you removed the "M3" fender grills that are visible in the first two pictures.

 

The final job looks good. Did you do anything to keep all the dust and dirt off your fresh paint, or did you just get lucky?

 

I just sanded the car in an open area. Then in an enclosed area with no dust and dirt, i Painted the car. The paint looks great with no (fish eyes) or anything. I bought a kind of cloth that removes dirt that is stuck to the car and then i painted the car.
