So as usual, as soon as I take some pics of my car, I change something..
Here's what she looked like when I woke up this morning...New to this site are the flat black hood, the side mirror paint, paint on the front bumper, JDM front badge, '08 front and rear badges (on hatch) and the paint on the hatch (pics below)


Then I added these


which equals:

 

(also new to the site rear wiper delete)
Here are some pics of the paint I've done :
( 5-2-08 )

A lil quick masking






Followed by some Duplicolor Bumpercoat (toughest rattlecan paint I've ever seen)


Then a lil bit of white on the grille (sides used to be black)




Leaves me with this front end


teaser



Then...a week later ( started ~10pm 8-8-08 ending ~2:30am 8-9-08 )

More masking


Left out pics of the whole back covered in paper and blue tape*
and any other pics of me masking and painting
but here are the finished (so far) pics of the outside.
I did the back right, I took apart the whole hatch, minus glass and taking the actual hatch off.

The l/p cutout/bumper bodyline




And the top of the hatch/repainted spoiler




over-head view


*Funny story, We got about 80% of the masking done when my buddy realized I had the wrong paint, so I had to drive ~12-14 mile roundtrip to buy the right paint...with the paper and tape still on the car

 

lookin good sir.

 

broken seal on the passenger side head light?

 

Technically, both...I did paint both of them. But yeah, the passenger side never quite sealed right after that, even after running a bead of silicone all the way around.

 

wow that sucks

 

Yeah, but it only presents a problem when I get the car washed...if I wash it myself, no prob, I think the problem is at the bottom of the light, since the main difference between me washing and the machine washing is that the machine blows water from the bottom, and I just can't.

 

wow looking good, i love it.

 

I like the look of the car...
