Just Got Car Back From Paint/Bodyshop (thanks to Drag U Down Customs)
So my car got vandalized in the summer and there was massive body damage. In the end i got a ton of work done and a whole new look. I cant take all the credit. I pretty much borrowed the idea from civicfreak03 but its all good cuz i do live in canada. And drag u down customs hooked me up and did an amazing job. The paint is ssm with harly davidson black metallic and gunmetal pinstripe in between color matched to my wheels. in the end i am loving the end result. Sorry for crappy pics. Taken with iphone more pics will be up from nikon.
let me know what you think. The black seriously is amazing you have to see it to appreciate it.

ohh awesome...we're gonna be triplets on the civicforums cuz I just put my car in the shop on monday to get the same paint job. I searched everywhere to see what that would look like and finally said f**k it and told the painter to do it. the paint is NBP for the top and Dolphin Gray Metallic for the bottom, I'll post pics as soon as it's out of the shop.

Looks great man. I really like that front lip.
I almost match, I didn't have the money for the roof so I only did the hood, lol.
Here was my inspiration

hmm now im wondering about my rims. I like the gunmetal a lot but after seeing that car im wondering about black. Im thinking about getting a small but tasteful graphic in gunmetal for the side of my car even though i know you guys arent big fans of it. That woudl blend my wheels but idk i just hate black wheels but that other car looks damn good
this is the first time ive posted pics of my car and nobody has told me to ditch the spoiler. But as ive said 100000000000000times before its what makes my car unique and its my favorite mod.

some people have way too much time on their hands. I came out to my car last night cuz i live at university and some guy put duct tape over all my stickers and my headlights and tails. Who the F*** does that?? I think it was some guy in a white rsx type s with jdm everything. I think he was just trying to make a point cuz on my windshield i have a "i (jdm badge) my civic" and i know that my car isnt really jdm but i still have some parts that are. It pisses me off though that somneone was touching my car.
