base clear and the H doesn't just pop out...ill just have to sand it off or something to get the paint off of it

umm...getting a different ecu. to see if it will stop the cel code 6 because i tried everything else and she had grounding issue and bad fuel pump I fixed. still needs a little work to get the vtec hence the cel code 6. but I would actually trust it to make a good trip

not my paint booth so I can't really offer paint jobs. and im not sure I want to do whole cars for people just yet I can flip up mine but wouldn't want to do it to someone elses car. If you look at the hood hard enough you can see that i hit it with too rough of sand paper and the wet-sand didn't smooth it out enough so the clear seeped into it a little. just need to take it back and re-spray some clear on it.
