Wet Sand and polish will wake that thing up, Most people greatly underestimate Wet Sanding. Wetsanding,Polishing is what makes a paint job, Not the booth or the painter. Is that single stage or base clear, you say it has a mettalic in it, so im guessing base clear. It just kinda looks like single stage. Either way, leave it as long as you can before you polish. The more it hardens the better job you'll get, and then it wont resink again.

it was a base clear job. It does look kinda matte finished in the pics and in some lighting conditions in person but its not. I am definilely waiting atleast 2 more weeks before i go to get it wet sanded and polished etc. I am just tired of looking at water spots etc.

Nice EK, I'm not a big fan of body kits either, but you can't argue with C-West. Snapped this pic on the weekend, hope you dont mind.

WOW.
Come a long long way since I last saw the car man. Looks good.
Not feeling the tails though but they're different.
Get an exhaust on there, hehehe...stock one looks out of place. I think placing the license plate into the rear bumper would look sweet.
Overall, sweet *** car man.

I think VIS has a fully shaved CF trunk, I really would love to get one but its hard to get em to sit right on the car. Is your car the Dark grey civic hatch with the C-west front ?

looks good man ... you beat me to it, my car is still not painted yet (soon)! ... do you have a light for the rear license plate? if you don't, cops will hassle you for that ... i don't believe vis has a fully shaved cf trunk, but i know seibon has one ... they are expensive, so it's kinda not worth it ... hope to see your ride someday when mine is newly painted ...

. I want to get an OEM or mugen style CF hood soon. How much did your buddy pay for his c-west? Did you see The yellow coupe with the EL frnt end and cf trunk? His is JSP and he has major fitment problems.

I really like that paint colour, its exactly something I wanted for my car. But yeah, like others I would have kept the reverse lights. Its clean, but just a little too bland at the rear

Looks tight... Not a fan of the trunk or the colour but the shaved moldings and kit is real nice.
