[Drummerboy]

rear camber/fitment looks pretty close to right. Front looks weird though.

[Halfwit]

its a little on the ugly as shit side.

[firby911]

stance is fucking horrible

[terrytowe22]

Yeah they slightly need to be adjusted in a little more
IMO but there ok for now also front camber kits not installed as of now
Also my lowering springs prevent me from doing alot of things
Thanks for the input
All suspension will be replaced with adjustable
As soon as it done getting painteD

[terrytowe22]

Negative comments I stated the stance needs work
I'm on lowering springs with offset wheels of course it's gonna be shitty
I'm prob gonna relieve the offsets off the car and get some other wheels

[Crazydelsol]

nice progress!

[civic gsr]

Before you do more stuff please het some security if it doesnt have some already looks good right now. Paint will set it off im about to get me an accord that looks close to your civic in paint wise lol

[terrytowe22]

Yes for sure gonna have that!
Not many theives around my area but
Don't take a risk
Car has a pretty clean body as of now still gotta do odds and ends
And a wet sand before sprayed

[civic gsr]

Thats what evefybody says until is go late never takd a risk .. unless you put it on the garage

[terrytowe22]

Yeah i hear u thanks man

[Genji-Sama]

Looks like it has a little too much "poke" in the front and back, do you plan on pulling the fenders at all? :goodjob:

EDIT: NVM, just read the comments :goodjob:

[Catnip]

its a little on the ugly as shit side.

Don't hate on his offsets and lowering springs, bruh.

[terrytowe22]

Lol thanks man reps to all
All fenders have been rolled even rear I just gonna roll on some + offset
Good idea? Until I can get some better suspension

[Nemesis]

Get some paint on her and shell look much better.

[terrytowe22]

Yeah hopefully this sat
I'm going to buy the paint thursday

[silversol]

what kinda paint and clear is going on it? I hope its quality materials. Take the extra time to do a better job tapeing the car up. I can see the primer over spray on the moldings. the prep work can make even a cheap paint job look good if done right!

[terrytowe22]

Yeah I know and prob going with ppg paint
Any other paint that recommended please lmk
Also yeah it will be taped off for sure I see the part u talking about
I gonna air brush back black lol

[Dylan]

What shade of red are you going with?

[terrytowe22]

Just r-81

[Dylan]

Should turn out nice. In for finished results :goodjob:

[terrytowe22]

Hopefully I will post pics soon as everything is done and hopefully turns out well

[JDMJ]

Whos painting it?

[EmminoDaGreat]

Lookin good

[dc2gs]

Good work man! Waiting to see end results!

[terrytowe22]

My stepdad is painting the car
He use to paint and do body work a while back.
But we are not using a booth so I don't expect the best paint job but should
Look decent

[terrytowe22]

Lookin good

You remember what it did look like right
Came a long ways

[EmminoDaGreat]

ya... lol

[terrytowe22]

Purchase my paint today I'm currently pass on the ppg
Only because I had store credit at another local paint place they carry nason
Products I read good reviews about an bs just really depends on the prep work
Hopefully going to get it to the shop sat morning or mid afternoon touch up on little spots with primer
Then wet sand 600 grit? Or 400 grit?unsure
Also its a base clear paint also new wheels on the coupe

[FUGI2X]

looks good to me.... post pics when you get the paint done.....

[six7teen]

my suggestion would be dont do a CF hood.. i decided to do one on my EJ8 before i got it painted and it was my biggest regret on the car.. they fade quick for one, and second, it looks so much cleaner (IMO) as one color.. but, do what you want, of course. just giving my advice from past experience. i am sure it will look good :goodjob:

Think we use 320..May be wrong though.

[terrytowe22]

Thanks man yea I still debated about the hood just because of the price
And the outcome of fading like you said
I have 2 ek hoods I'm probably gonna sand one of them down in the morning
Prime it and fix the little dings and spray it also to see what it looks like for now
Also the car is not on offsets anymore I'm currently in the process of fully polishing
My gsr blades if they turn out good I will ride them because I like the look
Also have a set of xxr 501 +38 offset so I will post pics of both sets on the car after everything is done

[six7teen]

sounds like it is gonna look great man :goodjob: making good choices :D

[Dylan]

Make sure to take your time with the prep work. If you want the best results wait and do it right. It would suck to have to repaint it over something that could have been easily avoided :goodjob:

[terrytowe22]

Oh yeah for sure gonna get a stright body only thing I'm concern about is the tape
Off not very good at it!

[Dylan]

That part gets aggravating sometimes lol. Patience is key, just don't cut any corners because it will show.

[terrytowe22]

No corners cutting here I've drove around for months with a 12 color car lol
So I'm taking my time for sure!
320 grit ? I don't think so

Talk to my Buddy that does a lot of painting he said wet sand at 400 grit
Then finish with 600 to mAke it smooth since I'm doing base clear
And not single stage

[terrytowe22]

Looks pretty decent had a few little ruins with the clear
Gonna go back and wet sand and buff out
Let it sit for 3 or so days

Overall for a 200$ paint job can't complain

[Scotsman]

damn , looks great

[terrytowe22]

Thanks man it needs its little touch ups
Just have to wait.

[terrytowe22]

[Genji-Sama]

OOoh, stickin it to the haterz :goodjob: looks much nicer than i expected, lol

[JDMJ]

A little too much red for me..Wouldnt have painted molding and skirts, but if you like it cool. And you cant beat 200 for a paint job!

[firby911]

Came out good. I would try and fix the trim up,its looking pretty bad.

[1blckss]

Look decent

it can still come out pretty good if you take the proper steps. I painted a buddy of mines 89' civic hatch and it came out real good.

[jtdb8]

Nice man. Yea you can't beat the price. But Im doin my for a small fee of free.
Im doin my teg rite now. You should go check my thread out.
