Dang!
So I got this nasty *** Accord right? And I dont really want Maaco to paint it, and I'd like a pimp looking color like the '99 Si Blue, how much would you charge? I wouldnt mind driving to Louisianna for a damn cool paint job.
body color or smoke the tails, or get the new tails ... (old stock is Fugly but so is chrome) other than that it i realy nice its not that ricy neon green if you god some bronze colored 18s and some black vinyl (not body graphics just sponsor stuff) it would be one of the nicest 7thgens ive seen

Rep Power: 374 The paint color im not feeling, props for DIY, but to really give you full respet i would have to see the paint up close. I say get some rims/tires and youll be looking good. Maybe some gunmetal rims to bring out that color.

Rep Power: 0 eh......PERSONALLY, i think the color looks like diaper gravy.....don't get me wrong, all i saw was three pics on the net, so maybe in life it looks a different shade. also, i'm not a fan of green in general. the paint job itself though, looks really nice, props on that....either way, do what makes you happy, not what everone else wants....i know you were looking for opinions, i'm just saying, don't do it to make other people happy, do it for yourself!

That green with chrome headlights and red tails wouldnt look right IMO.
Dont listen to people who say "lose the tails", 75% of the people who dont like them, have had them on there car at one time or another. Thats what kills me.
