It's okay. I didn't buy it for anyone to like or dislike. I bought it for me. I'm not impressionable so I don't sway with the fads.

It attaches to the glass with double sided tape.

I'm not assembling the front end until I get the other engine in. That's why the side skirts aren't on also.

Also I just bought a Works bell rapfix 2 quick release and Works bell steering hub lock. Also I bought a Momo steering hub adaptor. Hopefully I get it soon. I want to put on my steering wheel.

2 honest thoughts:
1. the vis fits like s hit
2. that jracing to me looks like ass too, not in the fad game much, it takes away from the car.
dont know if my thoughts matter to you or not, but i know you at least listen and dont get butt hurt when someone gives you criticism. hats off to a different, and FUNCTIONAL part at least ;)

1. The Vis doesn't fit bad. It's level with the roof. i really just took the worst pictures imaginable and it makes it look worse than it is. I've had bad fitting duckbills before and I would never lie just to think it does. That wouldn't make sense because I'd be lying to myself.

2. I really respect your opinion. I'm a cynical a*****e so it's everyday conversation for me. I actually prefer stuff to be cut and dry.

3. My opinion is that the wing grows on you. It can't be appreciated in pictures. I didn't even like it until I saw a really nice hatch with one on it in person. I'm not trying to make you like it, but if you see one in person it may change your mind a little. If you've seen one in person and hate it for real that's also respectable.

Well here's today's progress. Same as today's progress really. I painted the same things you see painted before you yesterday. But I couldn't bring myself to leave them the way they were. I can't remember everything all the time. I didn't pay much mind to the fact that it rained a whole lot yesterday here and it has been about 90 degrees. So the Humidity was visible yesterday evening. I didn't pay any mind to this after I started spraying the pieces and saw the flaws in the paint. It was blushing like hell and I couldn't do anything about it. So I got more paint today and re sanded and scuffed them all again and painted the wiper arms and cowl vent panel. Then I cleaned them all up and sprayed them.

Looks like a new one



Here's a picture I guess I missed when uploading.

any reason why you didnt paint the bolts for the doors? and i didnt know that you could paint that factory plastic, i like that look, it looks like a newer generations plastic like that, in fact it looks like it belongs to a nicer brand car than honda to be honest!

They are lightly coated with a plating. After a long time the rainbowish coating will turn a bronze color. But they'll be fine. For the fender bolts I will paint them.

As far as the plastic it really just depends on what it's made out of. There are a lot of things that need to be known before painting plastic, but the wiper cowl is easily paintable if you need to freshen it up.

the plating is called cadmium, and it is very corrosion resistant, so no need to paint them. ;)

Yeah I work around aviation stuff. I can get parts shipped off by the pound and get anything I want cad plated. For a future build I will. But that's secret until it happens.

odd at first, then easy once your used to using the left hand.

there are more blind spots since you're on the right side, so merging into traffic can be a pain... also drive thru food and paying tolls is fun. lol
I guess it would be easy for me since i'm left handed, hahaha i can imagine going to the drive thru with a RHD...:lol:
