CIVIC X3 is on a distinguished road
i painted mines like dat...since i didnt lik the amber piece, i went and got some chrome paint and sprayed over it. if you plannin on painting the amber piece to chrome lik me, dunt spray the clear on the amber piece. the clear kills the shiny off the chrome paint. jus clear the blacked out trim. g.l. if you going to do the project.
