Painted LCA's
Hey guys whats up,
So I'm waiting for my swap to come in,
And until then I'v been doing little things here and there,
Well, the other day I got bored, so I decided I was going to polish my LCA's
After gettin them off and sanding for a few hours I decided it wasnt worth the time
or effort with them being stock LCA's and I would be geting aftermarket this summer, So I just sprayed some primmer, Paint and sealer,
I guess they came out ok but oh well,
Here are the pics,

Today is a dark rainy day.

What's the point of him getting new LCA's when the ones he has just need a coat of paint.....I would've went with glossy black paint though.

what's the point of getting aftermarket NON-ADJUSTABLE LCA in the first place?
Just another fad like the tow hook thing last year.
I would've left them alone because it wouldn't improve anything on my car. But that's just me.

Well many people have to get the non-adjustable ones because you need them to mount a rear sway bar on some vehicles but otherwise they are useless junk just like everyones non functional tow hooks.

Hey i dunno about any of you guys but when im cruisin at night i can see everyone's lca's cuz my car is dumped. i think it makes a big difference if they are like powerwashed clean or painted. just makes the underside of the car look a lil more apealin. but thats' just my opinion. nice work.

Re: Painted LCA's (CivicBlack)
Thanks and tahnks for the critisism also,
Like I said, I was bored and cant go anywhere cuz the motor is blown,
I was bored and nothin else to do,
Its not hard atall to take them off, just jack up the car and unbolt them,
Took me 15 min to take both off (Didnt use my air tools) I'v dont it before, when I had to install the shocks/coilovers,
Getting a new Paintjob soon but yeah I need to clean it.
I started to clean the underside as you can see, the middle of the gastank is
clean but It started to get late,
Yeah but this summer, when I get al new susp, Lower tie bar, and sway bar etc...
I'll do a Super JDM Honda-Tech cleaning...
You cant see the under side of my car anyway really, my car sits around 4" from the ground, without the Lip Kit I'm getting
