Tease pictures of my new ek .

[h22 jones]

I bought dark starts ek and since its been about five years since i helped a friend of mine paint the car before dark star bought it it has had a few mishaps. I decided before i was going to put it on the road i mine as well repaint the bumpers and fix the carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber wing which were trashed . I should have took some before and after pictures but i do this for a living and have tones of pictures so its nothing special to me any more. Ill take some more tomorrow when i get it back together and cleaned up. ialso took the carpete out and cleaned it should be clean as hell when put back together.

[Drummerboy]

Nice, plans?

[h22 jones]

My 300hp na h that im building to sit in the engine bay . Thats about it :)

[h22 jones]

I want some polished slips instead of the black ones and i need a momo steering wheel because the blue one out my accord wouldnt look right.

[boostedb16]

steering wheel is on the wrong side. no "EK" seen.

[-EnVus-]

Didnt you trade the one i deleted forsale the green ek for this ?

[Genji-Sama]

Wow, between the color and the all the CF parts this car is already super impressive to me. Polish those slips and you'll be golden :goodjob:

[BlackDubs]

Nice hatch. Must be nice to be able to repaint things whenever you want.

[h22 jones]

Actually i sold it on craigs list for 4,000 and handed joey that for this one so basically yes lol. I had 1,500 in the green ek and it was nice but stock and a auto lol.

[h22 jones]

Nice hatch. Must be nice to be able to repaint things whenever you want.

It is man . Its alot easier to swallow coming out side and seeing your wifes truck side swipped with 4,000 dollars worth of damage and nobody has seen anything . All i saw was dollar sighns lol filed it on insurance fix it myself and make alot of money lol.

[h22 jones]

That was a after market grill and i didnt like the way the lines came out when i untaped it so i repainted a factory one because it comes apart and you dont have to tape it up . Ill put it on tomorrow and it has the factory emblem should look clean . I wanted to drive it tomorrow but sounds like it has a bad wheel bearing to me so im going to replace booth the front ones before i drive it. Car still hasnt been washed in months . Ill try to get around to cleaning it real good and shinning up the tires for some pictures.

[carbon_crash]

Car looks good, but would look better if you painted the lower grill black like oem

[h22 jones]

Car looks good, but would look better if you painted the lower grill black like oem

It was black before i painted the bumper but when i decided to repaint the bumper because the paint was flaking i painted it orange i like it better that way just prefrence i guess. I did leave the center of grill black and the mirriors because to much stuff painted looks like econo to me lol.

I will say though this car was painted five years ago and the bumpers matched perfect when i redone them thats what using good paint will do for you. It hasnt been garage kept and hasnt faded one bit still has that pop . Actually the orange that i used to respray the bumpers was left over from when it got painted five years ago lol.

[h22 jones]

Lol, I have one too :)!!! But nice hatch love the color...

Its a customers he has a tone of money in that truck and its actually a friend of mines job he is just using my shop and im helping him with it .It will be sick when its done . Ill post some pictures. I can lay down the paint but he is the artist . When it comes to air brushing, real fire,and laying out desighns he has me hands down lol.

[JGilbert312]

[Boosting EG]

[aznlegendzx]

[h22 jones]

Thanks now time to make it fast and feshen up the engine bay .

[Jdm94Coupe]

[wanggsticky]

omg sell me the seats!!!!

[h22 jones]

Seats wiill not be sold lol and yea slips are 15s. Hell i bought the car for the interiorl lol. The other carbon fober wing goes on the black ek that im building the motor for . I just throwed some clear on it while i was clearing.

[h22 jones]

I sold the black slips because somebody wanted them more then i did ( 500 dollars). So i ordered brand new set of polished slips last thursday i cant wait till they come in . I also ordered a carbon fiber air bag delete tray and skunk2 adjustable upper control arms so it should ride great when im done . Next is a full set of one piece omni adjustable coil covers. Im not playing with this car its going to be nice and just like i want it.

[adodd3]

after
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/michaeldalej/024-3.jpg

[h22 jones]

both look good but ive always liked the polished better and no i didnt polish mine these are two different sets of wheels.

[Catnip]

I don't know, man... the black wheels kinda went with the hood/hatch/door handles/rockers...

[h22 jones]

I know and in the picture the black may look better but not in person lol .

[-EnVus-]

why not paint the skirts orange ?

[Crazydelsol]

get some tire shine on those tires asap and respray the sideskirts black other than that badass hatch "me like"

[h22 jones]

yea i am and i might try them orange but this paint isnt as easy to just spray this or that even though i did it to the bumpers lol. I had some left over but now its gone house of colors is high as hell . Its sunset pearl and if you dont spray white down first it will not cover lol. I need to sray the side skirts ,mirrors ,windshiel wipers, and tire shine the wheels but hey its a start.

[h22 jones]

I have a carbon grill that justin should be dropping off tonight so we will see how it looks. Im have a carbon hatch just got to get it the window swapped over. I normally put my on winshields in but this is not one i feel like fooling with .

[adodd3]

ive always called 96 up hatches EK cause everybody does. didnt think about jdm vs usdm. and yea we will see how long it stays stock haha. you still doing big things to the integra?

I don't care if you call em EK, EJ, or whatever, Some one had already called him out on it so it was a jokingly made comment on my part. I call em EK because everyone knows em by that. Everyones always so serious when it comes to Hondas.

[h22 jones]

Picked up a carbon fiber grill and air bag delet trey. I went ahead and cleared both like i do all my carbon fiber when i get it so it doesnt fade. Shit is slick as glass if i do say so myself.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/michaeldalej/071-2.jpg

[h22 jones]

Went ahead and freshened up these wheels before i let a friend get them since everybody is cheap asses.
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/michaeldalej/086-1.jpg

[Ziptied]

Meh.... I'm on the fence. Color is nice, however painted handles, skirts, and mirrors would set it off better. Also spraying the lower grill in the bumper black.

[EmminoDaGreat]

mike jones the paint , h,f ,antik master

[revenge]

great job looks good bro.

[Genji-Sama]

While the slips look alright polished, they kinda fit the them black, especially with all that CF :goodjob:

[AMD_Civic]

orange is so played out..!!

[DarKStaR]

is it played out if its been painted that color for 5+years?

[h22 jones]

I assure you in person the wheels look 100 percent better polished. I put a carbon fiber grill in it and wet the tires for all the haters see if this looks better to you. There is orange then there is sun set pearl by house of colors just a whole different ball game man check the prices and actually see it in person.

[h22 jones]

i changed the picture were i was comparing them to the new picture go back a page and look at it tell me what you think now . It was just a shitty picture making the black wheels look better.

[DA9_Vito]

Polished is the way to go on this EK. Car looks great man. way better than when joey had it lol. jk joey.

[h22 jones]

His integra was his pride and joy so the civic got put on the back burner . I brought it back to life though and hope to go ahead and paint that integra before it roles back out we will see.

[DA9_Vito]

what you talkin about was lol hell it still is.

[h22 jones]

It will be back on the road shortly better then ever .

[BlackDubs]

Wish I could just reclear brand new shit and freshen up wheels whenever I want. Nice work,

[silversol]

The stock grill looked better, The aftermarket one does not fit well imo

[Jdm94Coupe]

U ever considered the sir bumpers? I think it would go well with ur cf hood etc, I will post u a pic to see what u think.....polished slips look good doe

[h22 jones]

Never seen one post it up. I slapped the grill in getting it to fit perfect want take me long .

[Drummerboy]

Clear your inbox.

But since I dont want to retype the message...

I saw you say you clear your own CF stuff.

A friend is planning on giving me a CF hood for my 4th gen prelude. The clear is cracking and yellowing. What would you charge to prep/reclear it?

[h22 jones]

Its cleared.
