Sneek peak at the new paint job!
Just got her back this afternoon, she's real dirty so I'll get some new pics up after she gets tint and new exhaust this weekend.
I was gonna remove the side molding but opted out of it since honda doors are super soft.
The rims are gonna be PC'd real soon, probably black.
the new lip
cleanly shaven ass

dude, thats hot! I agree with keeping the mouldings. It would look even crazier without 'em, but a dark colour looks like shit all ding'd up. What colour are you PC'ing your wheels?

black, but i'm really thinking of redoing them in bronze, I really like the contrast they have. I'll have to really see once I get the car cleaned up.

I'm not gonna do it as dark as it was, but lighter, I think it'll blend w/ the car well. Plus, I hate people watching me smoking bowls in traffic

Hey CLPower,
Nice to see that both of us got our rides painted this week!!! But giving you mad props on the color choice. Very original, unique, and awe inspiring!
I went back to look at my paint job today and I fucked up royally. It seems as though my paint gun's seal was eaten up and so the gun was shooting paint in a pattern where it's saturated at the top and bottom and very little in the middle. So now I have to go back and redo the paint job, after replacing the seal, hopefully everything will turn out okay this time.
Definitely get more pics of her there. And I love the drop, only that I guess I'm a big guy too and so the car rubs alot. Took them off and put on sleeve coilovers, the ride isn't too shabby.
Anyways, excellent job. And BTW, send me the pics to jpham@miami.edu, and a brief writeup on the car and yourself if you like. Gonna feature you on www.AcuraCL.Org. Dustbuster's ride is gonna be archived in the Featured ride section. And everyone elses pics will be up as well, with links to the pics you guys sent me awhile back.
