Default Let me know what you think of my buddy's skills.

I know you guys don't think much of kitted up vehicles, but I just wanted to know what you guys think of my friends skills.

The Integra in the picture is his and he owns his own paintshop called Visual Horsepower. The Integra features a full Bomex body kit including the rear wing and mirrors. The color is a brand new Sickens color that shifts from green to silver.

The car is a show car and it has a full Alpine system with the inside of the trunk covered in custom carbon fibre panels.

Here is another pic. This is a '96 Accord V6 in which there are no front bumpers made because the front end was different. The bumper was about 6 inches too short. He essentially fabricated the 6 inch section and made a new bumper from a 4 cyl one. BTW the car in the far left of the picture is a '00 Accord coupe with a custom widebody and S15 headlights. I can't wait to get my car painted over my easter break. We are painting it the factory Milano Red, but it will shine better than any factory paint.

I'm not big on body kits myself, that is why all I run is a front lip. But when you are trying to show off what you can do, there is nothing better than a rolling bilboard. The choice of mods might not be the best, but the quality in work is phenominal.

Quality of work cannot be determined from 5 foot out pics.

But cool color for sure.

they look really good, the quality shows they care a lot about their cars. can i ask why you dont get a custom red like darker or something to stand out from the thousands upon thousands of red hatchs with lips and black wheels? im not saying something crazy like that but if there are skills present why not take advantage of them?

If I had the time available I would definitely change the color. Unfortunately to do it right it would take us about three weeks. We would have to pull the engine, do door jams, trunk area, under hood etc. I only have a week during my spring break to get it done. If I have the car through next year then I will probably get it done over the winter. I had to drive my car through this winter, hopefully next year I will have a beater. Also, I like the color of my '99 Si.

Well I sure thought the 96-97 Accord V6 had the same body as the I4 cars. They sure do look the same to me, in every way except the wheels. How is it different?

Everything except the headlights is different in the front end. The fenders, hood, bumper and grille are different. We didn't think there was a difference until we tried to fit the aftermarket bumper. Check any website they will also tell you that they are different.

nicely done,

show style though, but camelon paint is hard as F**K to apply and it sort very well.

Not really my style of car,but the job seem really well done.
