Yea you are so right about hondas red fading. I never knew it but now I can really see it. I may get the rest of my car painted soon now. I'm getting the hood painted for sure. It really stands out since it contrasts a little with bumper. The paint matchs good but you can still tell that the hood has faded some.

 

red is the fastest fading color there is, period.

 

Have you gotten your car repainted?

 

Would getting a really good buff and wax help?

 

yes. look at mine

 

if you wanna go all out then get your car cut/polished..

 

jw... whats the lowest offset i can go with a simple fender roll to have a nice looking stance

 

it all depends on how much camber your willing to run and how wide your rim is. with a 40 offset you will be pretty flush with minimal camber. but you can go as low the 20's with just a fender roll and camber. but to really get that "stance" your going to have to go lower than 40 offset.

 

Ride height matters also.

 

finally got my pics up. i will have my sides on next week then the rear will follow. so more pic updates to come again soon. yea i know i need to put my roadlamp inserts back in.

BEFORE


AFTER










heres a rear fender well shot. lol yea i plan on either a minor fender pull or run a tad bit more camber. i like it as low as i can get it.

 

i got the WW rear lip so it has the exhaust cut-outs in it so i cant wait to get that put to really see how it looks. someone correct me if im wrong but i think that everyone who has done the kit did it with OEM kit.

 

man im trying to find the front lip but seems so hard to come across...lets get a rear shot..... i wanna see your stance of the back tire

 

i got some of those types of shots earlier in my thread. scroll back.

 

yea i did after i post thread... whats your camber right now? im actually doing some research right now before i go and get some wheels... i dont wanna camber too much dont have the funds for tires every 6 mths

 

-2.3 rear -1.6 front

 

Very nice .

One thing that always should be done after getting paintwork though is getting a paint correction.

They will buff out your whole car to blend in the different shades of paint together so it will match perfectly.



now all you need is a 6-speed swap and engine cover and your a top gun CL

 

dammmm diddy looking freshhhhh!!

 

DAMN thats crazy how much did it run you to get it painted?
This is banging.

 

i plan on getting it professionally buffed and waxed when im done with the kit. i modded the 3.2 vtec part of the engine cover to fit back on i just got to get around to doing the bigger cover.

thanks, ive been drooling over my car since i got it back. im anxious to get the next part of the kit done.

thanks, it was $208 to get painted.

 

GTFO where did you get it painted?

 

Serrano paint and body down here in jacksonville.

 

all i have to say is (in a kid voice) I wanna be like you, lippstuh civicdrivr and raja when i grow up LMAO !!!

 

:theghey:
















lol just kidding. thanks for the compliment. i can honestly say i said the same thing to myself when i joined. there were a few members on here that really inspired me to try and take my cl to the next level.

 

ROFL wtf is that supposed to mean?

 

lol just messing with you.

 

 

it means homo, and no im not making that up

 

that is sick , The paint looks like it matches well too definitely doesn't look as bad as you said
BTW I love your wheels and the offset

 

Very nice setup

 

Well i kno in FL hes turning alot of heads, my friend you now have a (Borat) pussy magnet.

 

Fucking ill....

 

Very well done! Can't wait to see when it's complete

Paint does not look too bad from the pictures.

Make sure you do your research when looking for a detailer. You don't want to end up in a worse position then when you started. Also, you will want to wait at least 30-45 days after a repaint to get it detailed.

 

thanks. yea its not that bad. my cars paint it self is ok but the hood is pretty bad. that i will get repainted.

thanks.

lol i hope so.

thanks.

i plan on researching to find to the best detailer in the area. yea ive read to at least wait a month until getting a detail.

 

 

you should get 03 mirrors if you can find them for a deal

 

I guess it looks alright.

 

OMFG... I NEED TO GET A LIP KIT.. UGGHHH loooks sooo legit. mad props.. how hard was the install.. ive done fiberglass and bodywork before but idk any pointers or trouble areas?

 

 

We need to find someone who is a pro at Photoshop who can Photoshop a fake shoot of P.diddy's, Brianlin's, and Lipstah's car.
