Nice! I like it.
I would have went with a more 'grainy' look rather than a gloss look though but that's just me.

Orignal quote was $50 but they wanted $80 when it was done. They said it was a pain to prep it perfectly around the A and the 3.2 vtec and stuff. In the end it was worth the price to me, I am very happy with the results and it looks absolutely flawless in person.

Definately did not, I thought about painting it myself but I really wanted a professional, show quality finish, and I got it.

Now way I could have done it this good. The powdercoating place did it, they said it was a bitch, but damn it came out perfect.

Thanks man, yeah I had the panels done a while back.

Also I took off that ugly heat shield thing that goes under the hood. So far no problems with the hood getting hot and man it looks a million times better when I have the hood up. That thing was disgusting.
