very nice transformation.. i had my paint job just done and i think yours looks better ... someone said it had to much clear coat do you think this would affect the way the paint orange peals .. pre color sanding ? I have a black integra thanks. Dope car

 

Nice! That's some good paint. I'm not really likin' the trunk/tail light thing though and you could use some bigger wheels, but it's really nice looking now.

The way the car is sprayed itself is what aftects the texture. people spray diff and diff material lays out different.
there is a lot of orange peel in my car now. after 4 months i dont really have the motivation to get out and sand the car with 1000 grit, 1500, 2000, 2500 and then buff it and then polish it, and them hand glaze it.....
no thanks maybe next month
Thanks for the support guys

the radiator support was all bent up and cut-up from the ITr front...
the only thing i need for it is the rebar and i will be good which was not on the car when i bought it.
the traction bars offer more support than the stock sheetmetal rad. support

 

sick miata wheels. that car looks really good. not sure if im feelin the side moldings or not. still looks good. keep up the good work

 

Wow that looks like it was a lot of work!? ;}

 

Car looks great... what are your wheel plans?

You got sick of the "same ****" (JDM Integra front on a Civic) ?

And you "needed a new look" so you decided to put the stock civic front back on?

I must admit, the car does look nice. But it just seems like you spent too much time and money messing with the car's exterior when you could've just bought a stock Civic, painted it.. and it probably would've came out the same way. Then just spend the rest of that money into getting rid of that single cam.

It's obvious that money aint a thang though so keep on playin playa'.

HeEzY

 

i think u could have left the front end and just changed up color and rims. but your car does look nice

...also wondering why so much efforts on looks and none on engine?? looks like stock with a huge radiator ?

 

ur car be slizammed...and dont get into a accident with that front end like that.

 

sweet choice in color!!

 

daym that's a sweet *** paint job. way worth the wait.

 

Damn thats hella clean!
What color/code is that?
You shoulda kept the gold volks (i think they are volks..)

 

Crikey!!

Very nice car....love the colour...what was it, monte carlo blue?!?
Which car is that colour off?

I agree with others....should have kept the Integra front on it, that really did look funky!
But if you got bored and fancied a change...good on ya!

As for wheels, what about those Arospeed Crazy 8's...the black ones with the polished rim....dunno how you guys rate them over there, but they have just made thier way over here in the uk, and i really like them.

Dan!!

 

thats a gorgeous color good job

 

Good job but I liked the looked before. It was pretty sweet. So what's gonna happen w/ the old R front? Up for sale?

 

nice bro! how much did the job cost you?

 

great color!

 

well hell, i was thinking about painting my coupe monte carlo blue as well. and i also have the mugen style front lip, damn. heh. they would be twins. i may still do it

looks good
