    So you live close to Vancouver Wa.????
    Thats awsome. I used to live around there.
    As far as your car go's ......
    Looks Fantastic, really diggin the color.
    My only beef was it looks like a real cheap paint job.
    Like Macco, i took my Civic (when i had it) to Alpine on Mill plain
    but i think.... wait... there is.
    There's an Alpine auto body on 4th plain as well, they did a real great job on my car.
    but then again mine was just a color match for the front.
    Love it though.

    all i said when i saw this was wow. thats very different but its quite likeable. i think that looks great. if i might ask. why'd you use an 86-87 rear bumper? looks good

    body work looks like shit and the paint is single stage looking. but other than the color making it look dirty all the time it's great!

    Re: My car is green now (no 56K)

    so to answer a bunch of questions lets start from the top..

    yes those are factory corners tinted using nightshade

    it is a medium paint job... in that we did all the work ourselves... it is a single stage paint. It still needs to be cut and buffed out then i should look a little better

    The rear bumper is the 86-87 because i wrecked a my car a while back and that was the only one we could get locally at the time.

    The color is Nissan Canteen Green.

    Thanks for all the comments guys

    Re: My car is green now (no 56K)

    in my opinion that 1step paint doesnt look bad at all, buff it and wax it and i bet it will look just as good, if not better, then any 2-3 step paintjob that you pay a shitload for.

    Really clean car, im in love lol... and i think i found the color i should pain my car when i get it redone :P :P

    looks good with the black rims. although it seems more like a color scheme i'd see on a jeep than a 3g. but nice nonetheless. the whole thing makes the wheels and tires look much bigger than they actually are. could scare people with that.

    he said comments, not hating. i think it looks tight except for the rims they are a little strange looking kinda fat or something, but i think some clean black 5 spokes with chrome lip would set it off the paint nicely. keep savin up the money

    looks good. that really should have been a factory color, seeing how good it looks on the car.

    Zeph (Zufer) is one of the coolest and most genious/gifted 3geezers around. His suspension setup is fanfuckingtabulous and his car handles probably better than anyone elses. Quite amazing indeed.

    Re: My car is green now (no 56K)

    dude i love the color, but i think a nice clear coat or even wax would make it jump out more. unless you were going for the military look in which case i aplaud your attempt. anyway, i also (jokingly) want to say...it blends into the background very well! lol

    Re: My car is green now (no 56K)

    Thanks for the comments again... it always feels good to get compliments on my work. Once again the car hasn't been cut or buffed since the paint... so that should get it lookin a little nicer.
    The lip is a stock 94-95 accord lip... i really wanna upgrade to something else but only when i have some extra money
    Like i said earlier i'll take some pics showing my mods later
