Every time I post pictures of my ride it always looks like ****..and guess what? This time is not any different...Here you go..



















If you notice since the last time I have posted pictures some things have changed.

Such as:
-Mugen Front Lip
-New Grill
-Stock spoiler/new trunk
-REPLACED LEFT TAIL LIGHT (yep thats right no more clear looking tail light)

I have to help my Dad sand out the rest of the car except for the roof then hopefully get it painted by the ending of September because I can not stand driving this car around like this. I see other Honda drivers look at me and I know they are thinking "my god what did this guy do to his ride?".. Soon everything will be painted then I will move on to finishing the dynamat of my trunk/doors/.

Please feel free to leave whatever comments you need to make I don't mind.. But be sure if I catch you giving me a ricer ticket on the street I will proceed in punching you in the face. J/K..

oh yeah that is not bird **** on my car either..thats the stuff left over when everything got sanded and primered..

Um, wtf did happen?

everything takes time..

whoa 56k warn


what part of NY?

heres a tip...when u use the primer and mask off an area mask off around and ares so u dont get cut-off lines with the primer...u want smooth non sharp edges for the primer so it doest show up in ur paint job...trust me i know...u can see my work on my eclipse...which is soon sold

Looks like your car was shot up on the passenger side. What happened to it.

prolly dings and dents...for the most part u did good with the sanding and priming but i can still see some touch up that is gonna be needed...nice tho...on the hood ur gonna need to sand off those cutoff lines on the sides...also before u paint if u dont already know this wetsand the whole car with 600 grit and grey scotch brite pads...make sure to scuff up any surface which has a shine to it with 180 or if u have a DA air sanding tool than 320...there cant be any shine to it or the paint wont stick...oh yea and where the primer is on the driver side it doesnt look like it'll stick cuz it doesnt seem that the clearcoat was scuffed before it was sprayed wetsand over it and if the primer comes off easily than it wasnt scuffed too well...good luck with ur project

Damn man, my car is gonna look like that soon, but not as bad as your though

The car was bought from an auction and was crashed in the back and in the front..

Yes I know stuff in New York is not safe everyone has guns. ;[

holy hell the used to look like crap...nice job on it so far...and the rep whenever u can...dont even worry too much about it...im jus here to help

Progress looks good...everyone had some great comments...it is coming around and will look great when it is done!!! Good luck!!

wow, looks good now compared to before. how much did it cost you at auction? and how much have you spent on replacing it..?

are you going to do a custom color when you paint it? or same factory color?

At the auction it cost me $2,300 and had 22,000 miles on it.. The total cost of fixing it is not determined yet because my dad owns a shop and he did all of the body work I just helped with the minor stuff.. The color that I am painting it in is the regular factory color I really don't like nothing too flashy trying to keep it looking stock a possible but still want to throw in a little mods to alter the apperance.

Thank you for all of the postitive comments and quick replies everyone! I know if I posted these pictures on any other site i'd be flamed to my burning death.. :P

Thanks again guys..

haha onlything i can think of when i look at that is a cow or dalmation..lol

the left tail light, which is the newer, looks better than the right.

Holy cow. Your car was pretty messed up before. In that case, good work.
