KILL! 's slow build...

KILL!

Marine.
:welcome:
Figured I'd start a build thread, just to track how far my car has come and where it's going. Goal for this car is just a nice daily driver, built the right way by me with the help of friends if needed, with quality OEM honda parts, and name brand where that doesnt apply. Slow and steady as it goes, quality over quantity. Thanks for following!!! C/C welcome

I didn't think those tail would look good, but that red kinda pulls it off. Clean car, get more pics up.

thanks guys, yeah i grabbed some from icb motorsport while they had them in stock. i've been waiting on my window visors since april, but should have them by end of August according to my source. guess ordering parts from japan right after a tsunami was a bad idea haha.

Nice car man. It's really clean. Where did you get the paint to match your side skirts? I want to color match my trim as well, but can't find the paint anywhere.

Thanks man. Also, what did you use to remove the stickiness, without damaging the paint, that was left after you de-badged the rear end?
 

KILL!

Marine.
i used goo gone, floss, and a ton of elbow grease. it was a extreme pain in the arse for some reason on mine to get all of the sticky off. :word:

Yeah my emblems are basically falling off the back, but I don't want to just pull them off and still have the glue on the car.
