it looks good that's for sure! I can't wait until I get mine done... I just put a new cat today... a high flow (Magnaflow) one... next is the engine (B20a) along with a new alternator and cold air intake... then once I do my taxes in the spring I'll use the return to get a new paintjob most likely Imola Orange Pearl! counting the days..........

Where is the front grill? You should have that painted black too. Then use the Nightshades spray tint, and tint your corner lights.

I hope you're being truthful about the seat covers.

Car looks great in the pics.

Atleast you caps aren't the spinner variety.

That looks awesome,

Question, what did you do to the tails to make 'em all red? Paint or what?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it in the How-To

I wanna make mine clear for the signal part, but it's too complicated for me! I was on some website where this guy explains how he made his, but he doesn't wanna make them for others cuz apparently it's too much hassle for him!
it's too bad cuz I'd love to have the rear lights looking like the civic SiR ones (lower half red, and top part clear white)...

looks good, but, can you take a pic of the door jamb, underhood, and trunk?

Did you remove all the pieces before paint? (ie. tails, front corners, windshield sprayers, antenna, moldings, etc.)

Just wanna see how meticulous of a job you were able to get for the $1500.

Paint looks real clean though. More pics.

jayp6969

under the hood door jambs and trunk were all painted black....nothing was missed...but obviously below the engine was not painted.....i got a deal for 1500 i know that
