got my car out of paint! some build pictures.

here are some before and after shots.. the car isnt totally done yet. and its very dirty from being pushed in and out of the shop.. the cage isnt in yet and the interior isnt painted flat black... after the motor goes in the outside is going to get wet sanded again and buffed and polished.

The side grills aren't supposed to be painted.

well its up to the owner and IMO looks better.

no rule in the honda handbook which says that it is against policy to have them painted.

and Joe i dont think all that dirt and grime is good for the paint when its been freshly painted.

looks good nonetheless. best of luck on the next stage.

cost me 3,500 and it took 2 -3 weeks. Mind you guys there was extensive amount of work put into my car.. the whole bay is painted and every trim and glass was taken off during paint. the doors were changed, the whole front end was put on the ITR sides were mold as well as the valences on the rear. i had a very hard hit on my passenger rear corner that my bodykit was covering and i never knew about it. so the frame had to get straightened and the panel at the back had to be fixed.. i spent about close to 2,000 more on just getting the parts .. i.e. doors, whole front end, full lip kit all around, rear bumper, spoon mirrors, etc etc...
