I like it. I'm not so much into the painted everything like the bumpers, b pillars and stuff...but I think you made out well. I used to have the 96 rims too, they look awesome on these cars. Nice crx.

The color is called Kona blue pearl metallic. It's from 1995 Mitsubishi color guide...

I only spent $500 dollars on it so its not perfect but it looks way better...

Thanks

Monochromatic doesn't work for me useless you have a Wings West kit covering all the lower trim. And they painted all the rubber and plastic around the windows. I don't think the paints going to last long on that rubber? That's definitely a cheap job, only taped the windows, lights and wheels. But at least it's all one color...

Hey, it is cheap but it is what she wanted and it turned out ok. I like the paint job. The plastic and stuff doesn't bother her or me at all. We know it may not stay on the plastic, but atleast it looks better now. The grill is painted.

Thanks for the compliments on it.

CrxBlondie's my fiance. if you where wondering that's why I know how it turned out.

Hey, It looks ten times better than it did....

From this ........

To this..........


Much better.........

Don't you agree?

I think that the SIR front may not fit but I could be wrong.
Thanks she's got the bling on her finger now.

As for the grill, I think he means paint it black. And I not trying to bash her paint job. It actually looks nice. It's just I can't stand it when someone has painted all the rubber seals/plastic trim, It'll look good for a couple months. Just my honest opinion, no punt intended. But on another note, Congratulations on your Engagement!

too ******* blue.

the grill shouldn't be painted, the pillar covers shouldn't be painted, and the lip should never be painted. did the painter run out of tape or something.

Paint job looks hot. Cheap stuff i would do to complete the car is.....

- 90-91 tail lights
- paint front lip, grill, pillars, and window trim black again
- clear or amber corner lenses

Those little details would really complete the car and wouldnt cost much money
