Sorry haha. I actually did it myself and finished painting on wednesday. I didn't have the luxury of painting it indoors, so I had to do it outside. For an outside paint job and for how cheap I did it for, I say its an ok job though. I will be wetsanding it later, but I want the clear coat to fully cure first.

Heres some other shots.

yellowxhoodie
06-26-2010, 08:12 PM
did you see if theres any locations by you?

lucky for me, i have one right by my house, i got my hood, fenders, and bumpers there when i did my front end conversion on my civic.

09SocalTC
06-26-2010, 08:17 PM
nearest place for me, is a 2hour hour drive, guess it isn't to bad.

depending on what you get, driving there would prob still be cheaper than shipping. lol

I have one 30 min from me. I'm picking my fenders up Monday I'll probably spring for a hood and bumper too

yellowxhoodie
06-26-2010, 08:58 PM
qualitys not bad for the price.
the metal objects are great, but get them painted as soon as you can, even though it says theyre primered they will still rust.
and the bumpers are alright, you get what you pay for

09SocalTC
06-26-2010, 09:00 PM

yellowxhoodie

like i said fenders and hoods are pretty damn good, bumpers are meh, you can prob get it pretty decent with a little tweaking, i just never bothered because my civic was a beater

06-26-2010, 09:10 PM
I'll probably reprimer the fenders anyways I don't have time to paint them before HIN next Friday

Shinjitai ur gonna needawet sand a lot, if I were u I would get it profesionally done to save the paint, in the full car pics it doesn't look like the xb teal. Nice job though!

I figured wetsanding was involved but I'm used to that haha. I guess the color depends on the light also because its dark blue in some of my pics like this:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/shinjitai1438/_DSC0291.jpg?t=1277586279
or slightly grey like this:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/shinjitai1438/_DSC0261.jpg?t=1277586279

and I was looking through the custom paint thread and most paint jobs (including door jams) are running around 2k-3k for a decent job and 5-8k for an awesome job

the fact that I only paid $250 total for paint and did everything myself, I'm already pretty happy. It feels great knowing you were able to do something yourself and I'm pretty sure you know that feeling.

after wetsanding, i think it'll look pretty nice.. i really like that xb teal color tho.

shinjitai
06-26-2010, 10:43 PM
It took me the weekend to prep everything, but painting only took a day. I wanted to make a tent, but the wind was not on my side. So I decided to just paint it and sand everything down later. I started before noon when wind was very minimal. Around 2pm, the wind started picking up, but by then the clear coat was dry enough to be dust free. I had to go to work so the paint dried over night. Then on thursday I put everything back on.

The thing i like about this color is it has 4 different shades depending on light. It can be either blue, grey, light teal and dark teal. Its pretty trippy.

Heres how it sits as of right now:

Im at +27 with 18x9 225/40/ and i cant take people in the back. It rubs like crazy. Stock camber too. As for the front driver side fender, its all dented and wavy. Ill post a pic of it when i get off work.

chicotunner07
07-01-2010, 09:48 PM
what do you guys mean when you say stock camber? like its never been adjusted?

mine is 18x9.5 + 23 -2.5 camber (using stock arms) and have 0 rubbing in the rear, even with 4 people in the car (my AP exhaust will scrape though, lol)

its all about cutting isht out till it dont rub no more!

hmm not really sure. I think they are 145 new + shipping the last i've seen. So I would say... around 100 shipped? I might have some NBM paint left over so maybe i can just fix it all up for a bit more.

This type of adapters brought out my +48 to a +14 once. You could go as thick as you want them. I would just buy some billet spacers, depending on how thick you go you would have to extend your studs. I think that is much safer.

I have ichiba V2 spacers too, 25R & 20F and when I tested mine it was koo, but if your hitting then I would shave some of the bolt or just do what Tin said.

yup they where a dark gunmetal color before i painted them, i didn't use any primer, but if i could do it again i would have, because the other color kept showing through the white, and ended up having to do 4 heavy coats on each rim.

Hahahah, this is what it looked like when I bought it. It was like...$10k though, and I've put about $2,000 into it.
I got a new front end for free because some dumbass hit me, then I got my wing taken off, holes filled, hatch resprayed, and bumper resprayed for $900.

So maybe a little over $2,000, but at least I'm not an idiot. Hahaha.

09SocalTC

where did you get that done? some body shop quoted $1,300 just to have my bumper resprayed, and fender resprayed...i thought it was a joke.

Uyles
07-04-2010, 08:56 AM
My friend's brother knows the owner of a bodyshop so I got a really awesome deal. He does good work and ____ too.

Apparently the other owner of the car tried out a bunch of different wings, so he drilled, oh...I don't know...25 holes in the trunk under the wing it had, so he custom welded metal plates and then sanded it smooth and repainted it. Bondo would crack after a while so he didn't use it.

I can get you his number I think I have his card laying around somewhere, but you'd have to come out here to get a quote.

09SocalTC
07-04-2010, 09:02 AM

Why spend $4,000 on air when you can spend like $1,300 on B&G's and make it look just as good if not better? -.-
agreed plus you can't run air on aggressive fitments tC's, i heard you will hit the bags.
