That makes my want to paint my engine cover...anything but blue. How'd you go about getting that done? If anything, I woulda gone gold to match the emblems, but since you aren't keeping the gold theme, scratch that.
Nice car though mang, lovin' the fogs. I have the same car, sans the gold

Painting was really easy i did it in 20 minutes just because i was bored. i took off all the black plastic i could then just spray painted it and then added a thin clear coat. i might change the color but i think im gonna go with a black and blue car theme now.

If you want, rather than doing the black emblems, the gold has silver under it... I think you just have to like sand/buff/polish it off or something.

ive thought about blue underglow and HIDs later on but, i have a blue neon license plate frame and its way too ricey so im taking it off. i am interested in making the gold to silver thought i might test it on the emblems i took off.
Also blue Capiler would look great i might do that soon if its not to hard.

wow almost exactly the same except i have gold, and i like the silver 1000 times better, and im pretty sure they are oem fogs they were on there when i bought the car and they have the oem switch inside too.
Ive also thought about it and i think im gonna go all black outside, and tons blue accent light inside and i think maybe wrap the wood grain in blue vinyl.

yeah i was gonna say, go with a darker blue, but remember, our interior isnt black, its slate gray. so something that'll go well with that. bright blue is gross. a more navy could be alright if you decided to go all out.

Painting your calipers isn't hard at all. Took me a little bit, but it's an easy enough Sunday chore. Hell anyday now, it's summer!
Mine are red. Ignore the civic.

^You should. It's a very inexpensive mod that looks great! I painted mine about 10 months ago and they still look great. The paints lasted well through the winter, which suprised me. Make sure you sand and clean your caliper througholy. I used a toothbrush, hah.
