nice. so how long did it take to do it all from first mod to last? and how much was the paint job? and what kit is that?
Im not sure what you mean but ive been working on this car for 3 1/2 years. Its seen many phases. If i was to go in and get a paint job paying full price it would be about 2k-2500k. But since i got hit the guys insurance paid 95% i only had to come out of pocket 600$ but that was only because i had 4 coats of clear coat added. The kit is Kaminari
ragingSPAM
haha hardly anyone if at all said that color was bad...i think it looks hot...laguna blue in person is much better too... great job
Im surprised because it looks baby blue in pictures, which im not a fan of.
J Smith
imo that color only belongs on an m3



Thanks for the positive replys, you guys are great!!!

Nice paint job. Not too many cars can pull off an LSB repaint.

I like Laguna Seca more on your Civic than I have seen it in person on M3s. I think that the rear would only be more set off by 04 tails, but Im not going to try to push that on you. Car looks very good overall. The wheels are accented nicely with the hood, and the engine bay looks very nice all blacked out. Very clean, not overdone job overall.

my friend has a m3 in that same color. I love that color. I say you just need some 04 tails and you'll enhance the color a little bit. The 03 tails are kinda dulling down your car.

dont do it, trust me.
i got mine repainted for free and i chose ferrari nero daytona black (its basically black but you see it as a lil more of a charcoal in the sun)
and all the time i regret not choosing a color thats more evident as a non-oem paint so it gets the recognition that a re-paint deserves. (especially when its at a show no1 cares its ferrari paint cus its just another black car)
i could imagine how it would feel after a while if u paid for it. go for a dark maroon or brown.

edit: plus you cant do the whole carbon fiber scheme with black cus it just dont look as nice.
