I've always liked your car, but I guess I could be bias about it. ;) Anyway, wanted to congradulate you on the new paint. Makes me jealous even though my paint's not that bad.

i actually think im going to keep the wheels the way they are, accordztech said he would help me polish em up so they can look their best.

I got some neuspeed 2" drop springs coming in the mail that i got off ebay, so shouldnt be too long before i have it lowered ... damn its been like 2 months and ive done almost everything i wanted to do to this car, i had a lot of asparations for my civic, but didnt have direction, and more importantly money to do with it what i wanted.

yeah guys i had it done at earl schieb ... if i didnt need all that body work it would have been over $100 cheaper. As the paint cures to the car over the next 90 days it should get progressively better and better, not that it doesnt look beautiful already, im so glad i took the flaps off and told em to paint the mouldings and s**t.

if it isnt too much trouble, go to the concord location and talk to craig, tell him your friend melt had two cars painted there, and you would like to look into getting yours painted, then show him the car and everything you would like to be fixed and you will be all set, his prices are very reasonable, he gave me a discount on shaving the emblems because i had already had a car painted there and he was doing body work on the hood anyway, he also said he would fix the run on my trunk, but reccomended i wait a while and then bring the car back this summer and he can ensure that it goes on and dries right.

A little advice about the tiny ass dents like door dings, dont worry about them, the new paint and the prep process takes care of everything pretty well, when you see my car the only body work they did was the hood and bumper like i said earlier, and it looks WAY better than it did before.

i hope earl sheib treats you right melt. my civic was painted there and after a few months the paint faded on the roof and hood and became dull. but i didnt get hook ups so thats prolly why.
