did everything myself. I used marine topside paint, the shit they use on boats and applied it with a roller. Hah, sounds whack but theres a whole bunch of people that have done it with amazing results.

Here's my thread on it, the paint is far from done.

yeah, the thing is, it's not even done yet, all that's done in that picture is the hood and drivers fender. the rest has complete orange peel, I'm still workin on it. Here's a shot of the fender to show how the whole car will look...



The fender is compounded and polished, but not even waxed yet, and the door hasn't even been wetsanded yet.

appreciate it man. yeah my pockets aren't deep enough for boost this time in my life, so the plan will be to drop a B20 as soon as this motor goes on me. I should be buying an 03 civic off my pops in a few months, so the teggy can be retired as the fun car soon

My jasper green paint was in HORRRRIBLE shape, the camera just hides it. Here's a close up of what the majority of the car looked like.

Ksport, for now. Shits a far cry from the Tein HAs I had on my CL, but money was short, and I wanted to be on the ground.

yeah, i was looking at the F2 type IIs, but they were a little more than I wanted to spend, because when I was buying the coilovers, I wasn't planning on keeping the car. But since then, I fell in love with it

I picked up the Ksports used with 500 miles on them along with ITR perches for when I run ITR LCAs, and JDM amber turn signals all for $500 shipped.
