Default my 5th gen sedan with new paintjob flame/praise welcome....(56k no!)

I love how it turned out, the color is chevrolet indigo dark blue. I know a lot of people hate the black widow bumper and the hood ...but I think it looks great <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emthup.gif" BORDER="0"> . The stock stuff was painted also because I will eventually mess it up or get tired of this look but let me know what you think.....oh yeah I have nothin to back up these looks until spring when the b18b goes in.... little low on cash funds after this...









sorry if that was too many pics

You need some c/f altezzas

Paint looks good though.

I think it looks nice, but PLEASE, drop that thing. The 4x4 takes so much away from the new kit and paint!

i really don't understand the appeal of that hood and bumper, but i digress...

If you had the whole kit and a little bit more of a drop I would give it two thumbs up.

Front bumper and hood only:
Color and quality of paintwork:

new paint jobs always look good in pictures... the strength and quality of the paintjob will reveal itself over time. i had my 93 hatch painted s2k silver, so i know about all the woes of painting a car over. nothing beats OEM paint - ever.

$1460 for all that seems pretty low. did you have some sort of hookup?

also the car looks imbalanced.. too much on the front and not enough on the rear... i made that mistake with my 2000 EBP si, and it looked too front heavy. i'd say finish the kit and it'll look better. plus the drop of course.

good luck.

I think it looks ok. The only thing that I would do is level out the styling on your car. The front bumper looks weird there by itself with no sides or rear. I love the colour though. but lower that biatch.

yeah 1460 was a hookup and I am hopin the paint will last for a long time I got a really good deal on the bumper and hood so I went for it but I am sure it will look really nice when I switch it back to stock. I was thinking of adding something else like sideskirts or a rear bumper but I dont know what to go with any suggestions might be helpful cuz i have extra paint to use

Ditch the wheels, hood, bumper, wipers, and it will look good. I use to have a yellow four door with a carbon fiber hood and stock body parts it looks a lot better that way.
