That's an awesome paint job...Honda should have used a red like that instead of that sickening pink-fading red.

I would've told the painters to leave the molding under the doors unpainted, but oh well...maybe that's just me. At least the grille is still black.

Sweet color choice! I keep swaying between something like that, and a deeper blue than the stopck Captiva... Sucks when everyone knows you for having a blue sol...
