Na actually its been done for quite a while... i've just been lazy with getting pics.

Justin doesnt answer his phone because he looses it, doesnt keep it in his pocket, lets the battery die and then cant find it to recharge it, uses it for inter-galactic communication so he doesnt flip to the other line very often... etc. etc. If you have my brother's number just call him... eventually it will drive my brother crazy enough that he will slap justin around to answer his phone. =P

BUT yeah thanks guys... I've very happy with it now. I cant wait till i get it back this spring with the new paintjob... it will finally be a real head turner.

yo jay that looks sick dude. honestly if it was my car, i would tint the glass and leave it alone. its sharp as it is. so what color she getting painted over winter then?

tint the windows? you mean darker then i already do? They are very dark with the polorized "medical" window tint i have on there. only way to go darker is to paint the glass black.

but i dont really know what color i want to do. I wanted black with a purple pearl coat but my uncle says that wont work too well and will be hard to see anything... it will just look gloss black.

So then i thought very dark violet with like a red pearl, which would make a really nice color i think.

Then i thought Black with Purple flake. http://www.tcpglobal.com/images/sf12.jpg

and maybe even this http://www.tcpglobal.com/images/sf51.jpg

or a Purple to Blue Flop http://www.tcpglobal.com/images/kusrp51b.jpg

or this... yeah lets just say i dont know yet http://www.tcpglobal.com/images/kusicp88b.jpg

The black with purple pearl is really hard to see the purple at night, but during the day or under lights the purple shows up a lot. That and for some reason this color seems to show off any amount or dust or prints on the car, might just be my imagination but it seems worse than just black. But my car is already that color so you shouldnt use it. :neener:

^yeah justin was already rubbing it in that you already have that color and i would be a homosaurs for copying you. =(

But my uncle said exactly what you just mentioned... black with pearl just looks like glossy black. I havent decided yet, but he almost has me talked into a Rat Rod Satin Black...

or i might go miller light neon sign BLUE with a purple pearl...





man i fukin hate trying to figure out what color i want.!!!

you gonna get aero to? I Really like the wheels, Im planning on the red 002's next spring. 16's seem to fit in there nicly although im still thinking 15s. Car looks great though.

What size tire are you running? rear looks to be a tad thinner? or maybe im bonkers?

blue with the purple pearl is a really nice looking color, gets alot of attention because it will look like chameleon paint, just make sure you pay close attention to the size of the metal flake in it, too big of flake and it will like a gel-coat bass boat.

neon blue ftw. new wheels are sick, always loved that style wheel, just never had a car theyd look good on but the honda...haha...honda. If you have the skills to back up the attention, an insanely lit color would be tits.

Your bonkers. Wheels are all the same... I'm running the 16x8's all the way around.
Tires are Falken 452's... i cant remember what they are for sure but i think they are 205/50's

But the metallic blue i'm looking at is this... its not flake, its a metallic paint. (maybe that means flake i'm not sure) and then a dark violet pearl over the top of this. My uncle has been pushing for Satin Black, but i want something with a little more pop.

OH i forgot to mention...

NO I will not be running aero... probably ever after i get this paint job. My uncle is shaving the rear wiper, fixing the holes, pulling the dent, de-badging it, and ****** SHAVING ALL THE SIDE MARKERS!!! ***** He wanted to shave the door handles too, but i said that was too much. So it should be extremely clean after being shaved so much.
