Whats up guys? First post here .. My name is Jesse, I'm from Warwick, RI. Just thought I'd say whats up? Currently I have a 98' Civic ex coupe. Stock D16Y8, 178k miles. slow-as-balls. Basically what i want to do is the 99-00' SI conversion. This has probably been covered many times, but i just wanted to make sure i get everything right before i order the parts. 
[MAIN FRONT END CONVERSION]
Hood
L&R Front fenders
Front bumper cover with mesh grille
L&R headlights
(optional preference) jdm fogs
I can get all that for $450 brand new, primred. Sound like a good deal?
Then of course I'm going to add:
Front & Rear lip
Tail Lights
Spoiler
some brand coil over kit, or lowering springs first, then buy shocks.
15" alloy rims
Thermal R&D exhaust
CAI
And probably a year from now .. a new engine. Preferably a K20 swap. If not, go with a turbo B16, or LS Vtec.
My uncle is crafty with paint, so hes going to spray my car, and we're both going to do the prep work. My paint is probably in 95% condition right now, just a few small dings, i've kept it nice since i've owned it. almost 3 years.
Question: How much paint (electron blue pearl) would i need to buy to fully cover my car? And how much would it cost?
Lastly, I've put about $1,500 into my stereo:
Pioneer 4800mp
cadence cvl-6k
cadence txa-300.2 & txa-1000D
Fi Q15
4Ga amp kit
second skin damplifier pro
And finally, here are some pics of my car, currently.
Basically what i want it to look like when I'm done, except I'm going to paint the fog light housings blue:
