The roof is done nothing i can do know...the clwar it has is a high solid clear that wonr crack or anything under the sun...believe me there is a shit load of material in that roof...thanks for the idea tho..

IMO, the aerospace 303 is a just a great protectant. Here is an earlier link with some before, after, and during shots of others using the 303 as well as some other protectants.

so today my mission was to get the door handles on and the panels...but i ran into an issue...i could only put the handles on because i got my windows tinted yesterday so i could put the trim that goes inside the windows and covers the mirror... here is what i did today...not so pleased with it...



then i wanted my aspec kit too match with my bumpers so i decided to paint the kit....







my day wasnt over there... i did the accord fogs and had to paint my bumper vents flat black and where the grill goes..also wanted to do the acura semi gloss black...(the acura thing seemed easy but it turned to be a disaster..good thing i work at a body shop..)








i think this was my mistake and not using the right tape and not beibg patient...oo well ill just decal it..but this looks like crap...not happy..but this is how it looks

then before i went home i decided to remove my intake resinator..it was recommended by odehboy... it took me 5 mins..lets see if it works.. i hope i did it right... not a mechanic but o well here are the pics


well this was my day hope you guys like...anything let me know...

Get vinyl letters to put on the front bumper. They will look better than the paint.

I'm looking forward to more pictures

its coming along nice ... for the acura logo you can get it off ebay for like 10 dollar shipped, and even that may be a high figure


found it for cheaper ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...Q5fAccessories
