Hey everyone, just thought I'd post some updates on my car as of lately. Earlier this summer the car was side swiped on the passenger side, and I've contemplated for a while to repaint it. After discussing it with the body shop, and paying a little extra out of pocket after insurance had compensated for it, they agreed to repaint the whole car for me. The process took quite a while because the car had SO many dents on it from daily driving. I also ended up picking up the aspec lips from ack (thanks for the hookup!). The color I ended up going with was alpine white 3. The last photos were quick snaps and the car isn't totally finished yet, missing the rear lip/sideskirts. Lastly I apologize for the quality of the photos. They were snapped with my phone. Let me know what you think!

 

nice work man must be nice having a freshly painted car lol

 

Fresh paint.

 

Lovely, its so white!
not too fond of the white grille but the rest is fantastic, even with the lack,of aspec

 

I can appreciate a nice new paint job, however

that center grill and muffler gotta go.

 

Agreed!

 

I would have left the crossbar on the grill unpainted, rest of it looks great. The black roof was a nice touch also.

 

everything looks good man
with the exception of the mufflers

 

There's a lot of TLs in my area. Just wanted to be different. I personally like the way the grill came out. It grew on me ever since my friend had his rsx grill color matched. Worst comes to worse than I can always replace it with the S grill if I get sick of it. The exhaust has been on forever. I'll need a new catback eventually. Had the tsudo ordered but then it was back ordered forever so I just cancelled.

 

what happened with the bumper to quarter match?>

 

I think what you're looking at is just dirt or compound. Car wasn't really cleaned when I snapped photos of it cause it wasn't actually totally done yet.

 

Looks good. The grill is different, but not bad.

 

like the color and the black roof looks amazing. that is my favorite thing done to mine. i like the way the front looks. i agree different but better than plasti dip
