      i think you wanted to buy an EG?
      okay im just kidding, but were into hondas in the past/present?

      im not really giving you shit on your car, its yours and do what you want with it.
      everyone will have something to say one way or another, on the other hand
      i will say that i think you've done a nice job on 'rejuvinating' the car, seems years newer.

                Damn you guys are shredding this dude,

                I think it looks good, car just needs to be slammed and it'd complete the look:)
                I like the tails red though, it provides contrast and also the maaco paint job is what you pay for and they do a pretty good job for what you pay im not gonna lie, looks good though man:)

                  I just turned 18 2 months ago so money for me is kinda tight, I bought the car pretty much with everything done to it. Paintjob, suspension, wheels, spacers, black grilles, and a few other things. I just put on the LTW flag, tint, shift knob and ebrake, both new boots, steering wheel and tinted the tail lights. I still have a lot of plans for it but I didn't really have many options for wheels or the paint color.
                  Thanks though Mnstep haha.

                    I like tint, and all my new cars have privacy glass. That being said my old volvo and my e30 have shitty previous owner tint films that are purple tastic inside and drive me batty.

                    Removing the tint on most of the glass is no biggy, but over 100$ to have someone remove the crap on the rear window due to the defroster lines.

                    Your paint has a weird sheen to it, is it clear coated?

                      That's "orange peel". I'm pretty sure it's when the clear is laid on too heavily.

                        Crap paint job but I like the theme, redo the tail lights.

                            its murky, the infamous "orange peel" when clear, or any color for that matter
                            is sprayed on too thick too soon, it becomes hazy, makes reflections blurry and
                            such. Takes nothing away from its practicality its just not a nice shiny finish.

                            i think

                              Ah I see what you're saying with that description.
                              My knowledge on paint isn't that good.

                                a professional detail would help it out a good bit.
