    Nice pics. It's about time. It's funny how great the paint in the front looks on the web.... then again, I would be satisfied with your paint quality on my car as well.
    Yours truly,

      So this is what I did at the shop this weekend. Usually I can walk away feeling proud of a hard days worth of work.. I'm not sure if that really applies this time.

      Before





      During



      After







      I'm spending this week getting the uni-body straight and other odds and ends. It's pretty easy to get to now.. The parts just went back to the paint shop today. I also got the new engine on a stand and am starting that out. Funny story, on the way to a pizza place near the shop, a Mexican dude in a fully fiberglassed, riced accord looked at my car and just shook his head in disappointment (according to Micah).

          That is a hot car!

          Did you swap the heated seats from a cabrio?

            Thanks for the compliments everyone. I've been a little self-conscious about her. I can't wait to get it back together.

              Nope.. It just came optioned out (it's just been a struggle getting those options back in shape..)

                  These are old pictures.. I had the white body panels only on for about a week. I'm going to do a proper photoshoot (unless anyone has pics from the meet from last month). Anywho, I'm pretty happy with it now. Someday I might weld in a new front clip. We did get the uni-body aligned way more than it was before, but it's still not perfect. Check it out

                  Before





                  You can see things are a little off..

                  During

                  Straight from the body shop..








                  Thanks Rich for shooting the photos. Thanks Adam and Micah for.. well.. everything

                  After














                  Again, I need a some real photos. But, I'm pretty happy for now. Time to get the new engine in!!

                          Just slightly off at this point but nothing too big to worry about .

                          Good to see you sweating the small stuff and making sure it turns out proper .

                          Did you shoot it Brilliant or is that a non OE color ?

                            Very nice. How much does a full respray cost nowadays?

                                Yeah, this is my 2nd right side fog I'll need to replace. I seem to have the worst luck with road debris.. So, when I replace this one, it will be number 3! At least I'm not on that many oil pans.. I'm going to try and smoke the next set (the right way)

                                Yeah, I was scepitcal when my friends broke out the fork lift. I actually had to walk away and take a breather outside. But, it worked out pretty well. It's as straight as you can get it without a new front uni-body. I'm still not to happy with the bumper (you can see it under tension). But, I'm going to move onto something else now..

                                It's Brilliant.. I love that color in all its glory.

                                I paid $2400 for the first spray, but the dude didn't get the clear right.. So, he sprayed it the second time for free.. Well, I ended up flowing him $300. Ohh well, I'm pretty happy with it now.

                                Nope.. It's a stock one with a Ryan G splitter (again, thanks Ryan for a great product, next time I'm going for the large one though :D).

                                Thanks for the compliments everyone. It's appriciated. Cheers and Happy Holidays!!
