My lime green civic was getting boring so i decided to strip it and re do it. I thought this idea sounded good so i went with it...Im not thrilled with the result.
I still have to get the lime green off the headlight covers and i will probley tint them too.

If you don't like it then your standards are above BC's

Joey 01-28-2004 11:20 AM

Well, I don't really like the scheme a lot, but it's very well-done for what it is. You really do have high standards, I like it for the craftsmanship if nothing else.

HPIracer 01-28-2004 11:22 AM

Thanks guys. My main complaint is how the silver strip connects to the front. I might go back and change that. And yes I do have high standards. The only thing i see in bodies i paint when i look at them is the goof ups. :(

It looks good period! That is a nice clean paint job! Nice choice of colors too. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Good work! ;)

neurokinetik 01-28-2004 12:18 PM

HPIracer 01-28-2004 11:47 PM

What are you on!?5 hp...talk about at least 20 hp each, and then the underglow is worth like, a bajillion...leaving the turbos and nos and engine worth about 2hp....

HPIracer 01-29-2004 06:45 PM

I think you should do it like a solid gunmetal with mica red wheels. That or you could do it mica red with chrome or white wheels

OFF TOPIC: what part of NE florida are you from

HPIracer 02-15-2004 12:58 PM

Jacksonville...you?

blackskyline 02-16-2004 08:18 AM

I be representing up in J-ville to.

HPIracer 02-17-2004 02:51 PM

Wanna race? I have 3 xmods. 1 stock skyline 1 RS modded RSX and one 6 cell 180 civic.

blackskyline 02-18-2004 02:01 PM

i would race but i dont have a XMOD any more. it kinda got run over by my mom when i was driving it around in the driveway

HPIracer 02-18-2004 04:52 PM

Still have the transmitter? If so then you shouldnt have a prob getting a new one for 15 or 20 bucks. Find a radio shack that has 3 or 4 display models and talk them into selling one. Being polite works much better. I bought my skyline for 15 and my stepbro got a supra for 20. They were both returns and they said they were broken but both of ours work fine. They just didnt include transmitters.
