Re: should i paint?

i'd say different wheels before paint for sure

Re: should i paint?

Different wheels would be nice and clear corners. It's hard to tell from those pictures, but it looks like your paint might be mystic teal metallic. If it is please don't paint it. Such a nice color.

Re: should i paint?

those pictures dont do much to show the car but there the only ones i have right now, i may take more today, thansk for the replys, im pretty sure it is mystic teal but the manual just says green metallic

Re: should i paint?

Ok here's the plan...



I changed the wheels, lowered it, changed the headlights, added clear corners, got rid of that oil stain in front of your house, and took out your trash. Yeah I might be bored...

^ROFL!
haha.

yeah, i dont quite understand the rims, because theyre like... dubs, but with a large sidewall... interesting!

i think you should do exactly what was photoshopped in that picture, but MAYBE look for wheels that not everyone has.

Re: should i paint?

Re: should i paint?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA that is awesome......that is some good work with the photoshop. but yeah def new rims....maybe if you were spanish and owned a honda with a big H on the back windsheild

Re: should i paint?

Do everything in that photoshop and add in a nice billet grill. I think that car would look great with all that done. Oh and a couple nice coats of wax, or a good buffing/polishing job. Make that metallic really show it's true color.

Shoot me an email with whatever pics you have. Straight view of the side would be prefered. ergrinna@vt.edu Make sure the title of the email says something about the message board because I get a bunch of spam with attachments so I delete things that I don't recognize.

good job with takin out the trash. not only did you fix the car up, but you cleaned up afterwards.

Re: should i paint?

Dude, definitely DON'T repaint that. Mystic Teal is a rare color. I recommend you do a really good wash/claybar/polish/wax. You will be amazed at how awesome this color is. It changes from green to blue.

And take a look at my car. Same color, but with everything but wheels done. May give you some ideas. ;)
