My Boys STI Gold Mx-3 Fresh Out of Paint!

**kfzemx3** · 03-13-2009, 08:37 PM

Picking it up:

And its back together:

I have to admit when he 1st told me the color i wasn't to sure about it as a WHOLE color, but it came out looking pretty nice, and he's pretty proud of it...

a few fitment issues he's still working on, before it goes to HIN, he's having the wheels resprayed as well.

Now lets just hope he can keep from popping this engine... 401whp MX-3 with fuzzy dice FTW! lol or at least till this engine pops

oh alright, im not too fond of the Ksports for bg/ec cars.... Ive read that they dont last too long..

a few people on Cp had to replace them after a year....what color was it at first? the gold oem color?

**FasTech** · 03-13-2009, 08:41 PM

Not to sure about the color. It's one of those things that would probably grow on me after while. Overall I like it though.

Was it black before paint?

No it was actually Champagne and everyone started to call him GoldFinger so he decided to go gold.

**punkr6** · 03-13-2009, 08:43 PM

at first i hated it, but i have to admit it looks pretty damn good now, post up some pics when its droped...

**EL_DISTROYEL** · 05-08-2009, 12:52 AM

the front end looks like it was hit but other than that ur doing a great job

**yungdz** · 03-13-2009, 08:46 PM

What is STI gold? Sti's dont come in gold unless you mean the Gold BBS's?

Looks clean though anyways

**kfzemx3** · 03-13-2009, 08:47 PM

The Gold BBS color... that comes on some sti lol

**kfzemx3** · 03-13-2009, 08:52 PM

yea the oem champagne gold color...

Well he knew that was a risk when he got them but he says if they go he'll just put some koni's in and that should take care of it. He only drives this thing to and from Moroso and he shows it so its a weekend toy... He's not to worried about them.

oh well in that case... he should be alright for a lil longer..lol

its funny when i looked at the car the thing that i envy the most is the Leather gs seats...

**BobbyFresco** · 03-13-2009, 09:04 PM

Looks really good. Clean and simple.

**Mr. Clean** · 03-13-2009, 09:37 PM

I'm not going to lie... i normally HATE these cars. they look like roaches or something, but this looks really nice. maybe i'm just too used to seeing them all trashed and with like 5 mexicans crammed in them.

make sure to keep us posted with lowered pics.

**wanggsticky** · 03-13-2009, 10:37 PM

Brian* · 03-14-2009, 10:03 AM

I hate these cars with a serious passion... But this one is not... tooo bad

**JmDubz** · 03-14-2009, 11:32 AM

paint looks pretty good

**Brown Man** · 03-14-2009, 12:22 PM

i can dig it

paint looks good to me, and the power it makes is impressive

**speedminded** · 03-15-2009, 07:02 AM

For being virtually stock with a bumper that has serious fitment issues it looks great. Amazing what a clean paint job and wheels can do for a car! Will even look a million times better lowered too!

yea he wanted to get it ready for a meet this weekend so he worked on it virtually all night every night for the past week.

He has to take the bumper back off, and the paint has caused a problem with his hood shutting properly and its going back to the shop to have a few issues he noticed fixed.

Its a good start... He's been working on this one for a good amount of time... He is looking for a set of oem side skirts for it, then the rear mud guards...

Simple, Clean and Fast

**2turbo4u** · 03-15-2009, 11:07 AM

Mx-3 always looked funny like Del Sols (half integra and civic front). I really like this one , very clean and modded tastefully. Can't wait for the drop.

**shortysm22** · 03-15-2009, 12:38 PM

sti gold, lol

**boostedb16** · 03-15-2009, 12:56 PM

makes me miss my mx-3.

**matthewAPM** · 03-15-2009, 02:26 PM

MONSTER TRUCK MX3!!!!

**kfzemx3** · 03-16-2009, 12:39 PM

More pics, coilovers are on now but it hasn't been lowered just yet!

**Romeo** · 03-16-2009, 12:45 PM

Looks good. Those seats look comfortable. Haha. But, I hate that front bumper. It just looks so cheap.

**Franco Tirador** · 03-16-2009, 01:32 PM

some civics are going to fall victims

**Oz10** · 03-16-2009, 01:37 PM

Nice. I think I may have seen it on 285 today.
