a lot of hard work and time has paid of for you, so take it easy and get it done. now i see why you need a paint job.

yeah man..just wish i could find the place/people to do it right, and good..how much would it cost for me to buy integra type R white paint for my car-enough to paint the whole car?

you probably need about a gallon, and should cost no more than $200 with the reducer to spray it.
quick question, when you put the msp bumper on, you had to buy the bumper rienforcement?? also was the rienforcement easy to put on (like a couple bolts) or do you have to weld, cut, etc...??? was looking to get a p5 bumper & dgm lip

easy to put on. i got the bumper reinforcement from ebay..40.00 shipped.

umm. yes though, very easy. no welds same exact setup w/ bolts and mounting places. just different bar.

200.00..hmmm

40 shipped for the big steel reinforcement? wow!

doubt i could do such work..i suck at painting stuff i believe...

 

[D-rock240]

$40? You suck! And I thought I got a good deal on mine

If you're car isn't running for the fender meet, do you want a ride down there? I'm going to be driving anyways.

 

[Speed_Racer]

yeah most likely. we'll see what's up. the exhaust just got done. i've get to take pictures/video of this. aside from that, i just gotta get tags/insurance on the car and i can drive it...but..that's a butload of money at this point for me...we'll see. car starts everytime. i just wanna go driving for a day to break in the motor.

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

wow. boostdprotegelx, I bow to you sir.

dude, it's yours. just keep it. you'll be pissed of in the long run. i've been struggling w/ cash due to many things. but when it's all done. it'll be worth it.

 

[Speed_Racer]

[Dpwhitehead1]
