    nice car! I can definately appreciate some hard work. TT is killer as well

    So what made you spray the dash instead of fiberglass? I think the color choice is good and all but the prime/spray kinda cheapens the whole look IMO.

    thanks man.


    in all honesty i think it wouldve made the car much heavier Fglassing over all of those panels, as well as bondo if there were imperfections, then the primer and paint and clear coat weight. the car itself is 3400-3500lbs alone stock....im 250lbs(running back, lol)

    i know the weight still increased doing just the paint and such. but it weighs near as much as a full glassed interior.

    that is part of the reason i am hesitant to do my trunk. too much weight. a friend of mine has a civic with just the trunk done, its like 300lbs heavier than stock

    i know i have the power to where it shouldnt make a difference, but it really does bro.

    EDIT: my car is a bit of a frankenstein.

    its a show car, but there are somethings not done to it, because i will be racing it and want to save a lil on weight. i hope that makes sense.
