Default Pics of first car: Hatchback project ( Be nice )

Well i finally got my hatchback.





Si Front Discs






As you can see in my sig, those are the mods i got the shell with.
I am awaiting a jdm integra type r motor. enjoy

EDIT: Yes i will paint this car in the coming months from my friend.
thinking of flamenco black pearl.

EDIT#2: BTW the hood came with it. I dislike it very much, it will be replaced with a stock fitting carbon fiber hood, or maybe just an oem hood.

I would also think of doin a The stock Charcoal black.

Strip it to the bone and paint it. I think it will look lot better without the red engine bay

Painting the engine bay isent as hard as it seems... just try to tape everything up with 1/4' or 2' tape works well. The main part that most people see is the fire wall and shock towers try to put alittle more focus on them areas when painting. One more ? what type of paint u going single stage since its black on going with a bc/cc ? (sorry for the ?'s im a body man) have any other ? I might be able to help u out on just email me. But looks like a fun project car, enjoy!
