Just got it back... Midnight Blue. What do you think??

And I didn't notice till I got home, but they shaved my LX-i emblem!!!!? WTF??? I wanted that on there! Oh well...

Next I need to get rims... but that might be a while, I'm kinda broke now...

Anyway, sorry 'bout the picture quality, I know it sucks.. the car looks much better in real life...

What do you guys think?

Good color choice, but you're right it's kind of difficult to tell with those pictures. Too much orange. Does your camera have a white balance? Higher quality pics would do it justice.

looks good man. i kinda liked the kit on it though. you should make some clear front lights too, its a nice and cheap mod.

Thanks..

My digital camera isn't working so I had to record a video, then take screen shots :rolleyes: So the quality sucks. I'll get better ones as soon as I get my camera working.... It looks pretty good at night :D

looks good. Did they do the bumpers the same color or leave them black? Cause it kinda looks like they are still black, but can't really tell cause the pic quality isn't too good...

How much did you pay, where did you go, and how long did it take?
Did you go with OEM bumper covers?

they didnt shave the LX-i emblem. it's just a stick on. they took it off when they sanded down and primered the car. the only emblem that has holes to be shaved are the honda "H" emblems. my emblems are all shaved. i like the idea ofpeople guessing what kind of car i have. especially with the custom bodykit and pearl white paint it will have by the end of september, people would have a harder time figuring out what kind of car it is. except for us 3gee'ers. shhhhhhh it's a secret :wink: lol. nice work on the paint. keep up the good work bro!!!
