Looking good. Converted my front-end too and it looks 10x better. Driveways are a bit steep around here so I've been holding off on the lip but dam it's sexy. Can't wait to see your primer Max.

see there is a little problem with that dude.

the rear bumper has like 9 screws that are screwed into the rear panel of the car. so if i get rid of the rear bumper, i would have 9 screws there

and it would be ugly. yeah i want to be different, but then again. i didn't really want to do any more bondo work. but i like how it flows. lol

Mid Blue would look good. Did you re-do the rear bumper area as well?

I've had two white Max's and nothing can compare to a freshly waxed and buffed white Max....

But I live in Florida where it's nice 11months out of the year...If I lived up north I'd go lexus midnight blue

yes he did, and now he says he painted it 4 years ago when he was 16 and now hes 20???? and when i was 18 there's no way even with 3 jobs i could've afforded all the $hit he has done to this car. even with selling an amp for 400.00. must have a friend that does body work.

did the stuff you sell come with the car? confused here...

Car looks a lot better. If you can find it, I like the electron blue pearl that honda uses on their SI. I had a 99 Civic SI in that color and it was beautiful.

No, almost everything on my car was bought with my own money, unless someone was being generous one day. And the amp that i sold for 400 bucks last time is what gave me most of my supplies to redo the car, including the bumper and the lip. which was 200 right there. And i do the body work myself. Bondo, Fiberglass, priming. And ima paint it myself too. But i do have this friend of mine thats letting me use his paint Booth to paint my car over the weekend.

And by the way. i looked at the Lexus blue, and it's nowhere as good looking as this BMW M5 blue. And then again, i can't choose between the M5 or the Civic Si with the Fiji Blue Pearl from Honda Take a look:








Which one would look better?


OFF TOPIC - And on another note, i managed to save up my money again and buy the same amp. So i am now with my 1500.1D Monoblock powerbass amplifier, with a 15" soundstream SPLX-HX D2, and all 1/0 guage wiring, and the BIG 3 upgrade.

(this is also something off topic but here is something you guys can use. There is this thing in lowes called peel and stick, or was it stick and peel? anyways, it's a little canister ($17 - $20) with similar Tar stuff used in dynamat. except for the fraction of the price. It works just as great as dynamat )

On topic. Even though i haven't really figured out if the lip and bumper needs to be primed or not, should i go ahead and prime them anyway? or are they ok as they are?

(EDIT- Screw the Fiji Blue Pearl on that civic. The Base Coat / Clear Coat is $559.65 )

Anyways, i can find a better alternative than that.

Does it really matter? You're probably going to end up repainting it in another year anyway.
