I have been saying for years that I was going to get my car painted. Well I finally did it. Just the basic Honda black, no metallic.
Danny at Universal Auto Body did the work. His shop is very small and may not look like a quality place, but the quality of work is outstanding.
I do have the side markers. I have to take the car back for some touch up work. I was rushing Danny to finish the car, and it was getting late. Once everthing is final I will put the side markers in.
Its been about a year since the repaint. I am still very pleased with the results, but anyone who has a black car knows what a chore it to keep the paint in good condition.
This picture came out a little blurry. I was trying for a better picture.
I got a good deal on the VTEC sub bracket and a Kicker free air 6x9 sub. The smaller sub is taking some getting use too. I had a 12" in the back before. It was over kill, but still going from a 12" to a 6x9 is a little drastic. I do enjoy the extra room in the trunk though.
Just a close up of the weave on the Seibon hood. The quality of the weave is great. The fitments could be a little better, but it is not horrible.
At first I wanted to paint the entire hood black. Somewhere along the way I came around. I decided to go with the black across to the bottom so the carbon fiber would be anchored. I have seen other hoods with just the sides painted and I did not like that look. It look like the carbon fiber was just hanging. I understand everyone may not like my hood and that is ok. It is taken myself some getting use too as well.
I am back to thinking maybe I should paint the hood black. When shipping the car from Hawaii to the mainland, the paint was scratch. So I could get the hood repainted then.
