Looks a lot better! If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run you?

punkindrublic 03-Oct-2004 10:45 AM

that front bumper is large and incharge

showcivic 03-Oct-2004 10:50 AM

all the work was performed at the bodyshop that i work at, so i got the "company special" ... the color is Lexus grey metallic

coreyhayman 03-Oct-2004 11:20 AM

nice color, but everythgine sle on the cars gotta go, reminds me of a locomotive, good plow for the winter tho...hehe, but nice job on the paint itself.

GinoLicious 03-Oct-2004 11:48 AM

That is one sick colour. It looks great on your car.

imported_Promoking 03-Oct-2004 12:31 PM

I love the paint. Came out really nice.

What would I be looking at to have rust on my Z24 fixed (rear quarters cut out and new metal welded) and to have the whole car repainted black (either really deep glossy or most likely flat black hot rod style)? The car is allready black now, and the engine bay and stuff wouldn't need to be painted.

Chigga1 03-Oct-2004 02:05 PM

OH MY GOD

imported_ERTW 03-Oct-2004 02:21 PM

looks like a choo choo train...

nice paint though, good job

VTECRACER 03-Oct-2004 03:24 PM

Nice colour! Like the rims too, I would have put steelies on though during paint, but since you work there Im sure they were extra carfull :) Looks good!

TranceaddicT 03-Oct-2004 03:47 PM

paint it really nice.. rest of car ie. bosy kit.. wow over the tOP! choochoo

scarlemthug 03-Oct-2004 03:53 PM

Looks good, little close to the color of my car though:(.

showcivic 03-Oct-2004 05:13 PM

promoking - i really don't know the prices at the shop, so call 416-225-2303 and the estimator will gladly price it out, i know for sure complete paint jobs start at around $2500 +

scarlemthug - yours is a darker grey, mine looks more like violet dark silver in the sun

imported_djtrini 03-Oct-2004 05:24 PM

holy HUGE front BUMPER!!:eek:

Paint is very nice though!! As long as your happy dude!! ;)

The G2 Racer 03-Oct-2004 05:42 PM

Paint is nice but I still hate that bumper.
IF you like it though, more power to ya.

scarlemthug 03-Oct-2004 05:44 PM

looks pretty close to me;), but it looks really nice man. Do you do your own bodywork or are u a painter?

imported_kIeRaN 03-Oct-2004 09:35 PM

nice car man, that cf hood looks great

Gunmetalef 03-Oct-2004 09:39 PM

looks sick man.. id ont mind that body kit at all.. i think it looks alright.. youve done good work to it :thumbup:

showcivic 03-Oct-2004 11:51 PM

scarlemthug - i'm neither a painter nor a bodyman at the shop, that's why it took me so long to get my own car paitned ... i'm kinda like a shop foreman/trim specialist/customer service etc. ... mainly i look after the shop/guys and inspect most of the cars before customers receive their vehicles

Pimpin-EL 03-Oct-2004 11:51 PM

was tis done at yonge n sheppard?

JdmCanadian 04-Oct-2004 01:42 PM

paints looks nice
the front of your car however looks like darth vaders mask

scarlemthug 04-Oct-2004 03:19 PM

Sounds like a nice job, where do I apply?:P

imported_sergsru 04-Oct-2004 06:39 PM

the car is sweet!!
except that cow pusher of a bumper

shlammed 04-Oct-2004 10:42 PM

that front bumper will never grow on me...like the paint though.

imported_dmacbo 04-Oct-2004 11:03 PM

nice choice in colour, body kit is ugly as hell tho

imported_Hybridtheory 05-Oct-2004 01:18 AM

IS300 graphite?

thats the color I want.....


you got balls bringing your car in to get painted with your cf hood & rims on the car

FPB_SiR 05-Oct-2004 02:19 AM

is it just me or do the skirts/bumpers look like a different shade of grey?

imported_Team Rukus 05-Oct-2004 02:30 AM

turned out nice bro
the way ur car sits now it looks like my civic inbetween stages.
when i had mouldings shaved but maintained the seam line and the gas cap etc...

diff angles of light all the same colour!

showcivic 05-Oct-2004 05:49 PM

Hybridtheory - it's not IS300 graphite grey, that is way way darker ... i got alot of balls to do different things on my car that most people wouldn't consider ie, feel's front end :)

Team Rukus - thanks man, do you still have the 4dr? my car is done, i'm saving up for other important things now

it's a metallic paint, looks sweet when the sun really hits it ...

imported_kinkin 05-Oct-2004 06:25 PM

I don't like the front bumper either, it's keep remind me a transformer, the paint is nice tho, but the back bumper still had a ding on.

imported_Team Rukus 06-Oct-2004 10:51 PM

nah bro i dont have that car anymore
i sold it to my friend.
i now drive a CD5 accord:D
this one i am doing it up nice watch in about a both it will be MINT and really sweet looking.
i will come by tcc to bling it up;)

Pimpin-EL 07-Oct-2004 02:10 PM

yo showcivic, i spotted ur ride at yonge n sheppard today, it was lookin swt...

showcivic 07-Oct-2004 05:17 PM

team rukus - your already fixing up a brand-spanking new car? geeze man, you must have a bling bling tree at home ... it's a 2 dr right?

pimpin-el - thanks man, ya i work around there ... i hate traffic in the morning on yonge

Sikbluemx3 07-Oct-2004 05:54 PM

Everything looks really good, lovin the paint, shaved door handles, mirrors, rims, taillights, gas cap and ...
One thing thats hideous on the car is the damn front bumper, its waaaaaay to big and doesnt match the rest of the car. :(

spracingsports 09-Oct-2004 08:03 AM

i like everything but the side skirts..... they just look wierd IMO... too many edges all the way down them

1FastEK 09-Oct-2004 03:42 PM

Looks amazing! Good job!
