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.

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.

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.

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

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.
