Default Just bought a teal hatch, what you think ?

Just picked up a teal hatch for $3,200.

94 CX with 154k miles

Perfect body inside and out.

I am worried about the teal color tho, any suggestions on how to make it look good?? I got Si Rims waiting for it at home, but thats all for now.

Any comments, suggestions, or if you just want to tell me I am stupid for buying a teal hatch is fine.

Looks clean

Si wheels will definitely help; other than that, I'd do something with the corners. To me, the light amber color of the stockers just doesn't look right with the teal. Clear, smoked, dark amber—all would be an improvement IMHO.

yea, i've never been a big fan of teal, but I guess it will grow on me.

Amber corners sound like a good idea, oh, I forgot to mention, in a few weeks, I'll be putting my b18c1 in it too

Do a search for "Team Teal." There was a huge post in the appearance forum with a ton of hella clean teal snatches.

Congrats
Teal is a difficult color to work with, if you try to do too much, it'll look cheap, but you want to do just enough to be tasteful.

That's the same seller I bought my vx from. The guy is very nice but lied his *** off about the condition of the car. I called him a few times before bidding on the car and he ensured me it was not damaged or repainted anywhere. I traveled from MD to NC to get the car. He picks me up at the amtrack station. I get to see the car. It was obvious the whole car was repainted and the spray job was already peeling. There was a dent in the ds quarter panel that cost $500 to fix. I had to respray the car which was another $2000. Have you looked at the car beore you bid?
