looks great brian!!!!!!!!
Im assuming since its a honda all the cf panels are just gonna be slaped on and not striped in any way... thats to bad.
if that is the plan you should really talk the guy into something like that...

thanks! actually i talked the owner into letting me "smoke" the carbon fiber to give it a more subtle look, that way from 20 feet away it looks like a completely black car and then when you come up close you start to see the cf. I thought that would be different from the normal import stuff.

What you really need to do is paint a bad ass pro-touring project, maybe like a 68 bird... Oh wait you are! Can't wait to have this car with paint on it. Great job again with the paint on the ol civic. I WILL try my best to help with all the work.

it should look pretty bad azz on a black car like that.

just to help you out in the future. it will cut down on a lot of trash if you completely back mask the door and hatch holes instead of just hanging a curtain and throwing a drop cloth over the interior. it might save you some time next time around. other wise it looks great after the cutt and buff. really nice for black..

thanks for the advice, i actually just stripped out the interior. i didint really need to mask it off since everything was out of it, i just threw those cloths in there cause they were laying around and i figured it would help keep the overspay dust from getting everywhere. Thanks again!
