Nice progress! What color did you finally decide on?

and is that an accord shift knob?
So I've decide to go black, high gloss and very sparkley. I went and picked up some rota slipstreams with 2 sets of tires. ONLY 200 BUCKS!!!

I think black with white slipstreams will look good. I'll post some pictures a little later

It's a stock integra shift knob, I like the squareness =)

Ordered a ton of parts last night. Some I needed and some I just wanted. Anyways I got thin side moldings, a new rad, couple stickers, and a test pipe. Also one of the guys I know has a civic type-r that I've been eyeing, he cut me an awesome deal on it I just need a trans for it!

Clutch is perfect, msd ignition box, crazy expensive headers that I can't remember the name of and he's doing the install.
Chipped and tuned ecu with launch control

So stoked picking it up tomorrow so I can do maintenance on it.

The reason I'm fighting it is because I was in the carpool lane getting tailgated so moved over, when legal, and got behind a car. The second I did, lights in the mirror. Honda hater

im loving the car and the potential. Just a quick question for you if you dont mind, regarding paint jobs.

How much is it costing you to paint it yourself compared to going to a paint shop? and which paints out of mettallic greenish look or black is cheaper?
Thanks in advance and good luck with the build man. Really digging it =)

Um I couldn't give exact savings but I can throw some guesstimates. I've spent around 70 dollars in prep materials (Bondo, Sand paper, acetone, primer) Maaco will do an eh paint job for around 200-300. A professional paint job using high grade paint and the 7 coats of clear I want will be around 1k.
It's a fun learning experience but you definitely get dirty

awesome :D cause i currently have a red 1994 coupe and the paint on the hood is fading badly, same with the roof top. I want to get a glossy black paint job thats going to last awhile so i was just looking for some pointers cause i wanna learn how to do it myself for the future and looks fun. Well thanks for the estimates and where do you recommend buying the paint also if you dont mind?:D
