Default New paint job for my Prelude *56k, no way*

Alright guys, my car is done, and I finally have it where I want it. It has gone through a few different stages since I got it, but I have never been completely happy with it until now. This is how I've always wanted it to look, I just never had the money togeather to do it. I thought I would post a little timelime of my car.

This is how it looked when I bought it:







But, I got a good deal on it.

It just got out of the paint shop on 9/30/04 with a brand new Nighthawk Black Peral paint job. It looks fabulous. There is not a dent, ding, or scratch on the entire thing. It is EXACTLY how I want it. I can finally focus all my money into the motor. Anyway, here are the pics just 2 days after the paint job:



































If anyone wants any of the high res pics, just PM me.

I was just about to say "roll wingless" until I got to the last few pictures. The transition is amazing and so much better.

Looks 100 times cleaner

I ended up going to Phantasy Colors. It's really just a couple guys that have a paint both at his house, but damn, they do good work. I didn't do the engine bay or jams, but he did the lip kit, shaved wing and all emblems, fixed every dent, blah blah blah.

He gave me a somewhat good deal because my buddy is in his car crew. Anyway, they get a from me.
