Hey guys. I just got my '92 Hatch painted Champ White and just wanted to share my pics with you. This is my first time posting pics on HT so be nice . And yeah I know I'm rockin stealies, I plan on gettin some rims soon. Also the bodyshop went and painted my front grill even when I said not to . Oh well still looks good I think. Anyway here they are. Tell me what you guys think.

Take it back to them and make them black out the front grille. You requested it, they fucked it up, it looks bad as a result. I hate CW, by the way. I think it looks like semen.

Yeah maybe I will have to do that too. It doesn't bother me that much, just irritating that they don't listen.

I got the paint job for about $850 US, so considering I think it turned out pretty good. As for the lip its just a CTR "style" lip, got it for cheap off a buddy, I think it looks decent. As for engine bay picks, well theres not much to see right now just a stock D motor. Performance is my next line of business though.

Thanks for all the coments guys.

Oh and btw I dunno which direction I should go with the motor. You see the guy I got the hatch off swaped in a D16Y7(don't ask me why) but its a '99 with very little mileage. So I'm trying to decide to go minime, B or H series. B/c swapping out an engine with such little mileage seems like a waste to me, but of course it would be nice to have a B or H motor.

Ok here's my poor attempt at photoshopping some Volks on and adding tint to the rear window.
