The finished product looks sweet!

One Q, I am just wondering what color exactly is GGP from? The 7th gen Accord has GGP as an option!

tru dat, but their GGP isn't as metallic as the Lexus version which I got. On the Accord, the metalflake is very fine, I don't like it.

I'm still undecided on a bodykit, if I was to get one, I'd probably get the one you said, but I don't want to have to be too careful about going up driveways and crap, it's bad enough as it is. But thanks, I been wanting this color for a long time, im glad it came out so nice considering the price.

Looks very nice. The 1 Day Paint Shop did just what I thought they would do. Paint something good for a decent price that will last for a good couple years or so. The color is very nice. One of my favorite colors. If you want to even make the color shine more, bring it to a Detailer and have him wet sand it, and buff it and then detail it. The shop probably didn't wet sand and buff it, leaving some orange peel in the paint; but nonetheless, nice car. Rims go well with the color. Headlights are going to look better once the corners are in, along with that grill. Whoah, I just looked again and noticed they painted the window sills the color. Looks good like that. That's the exact drop I want, any camber kit necessary? Thanks, and good luck with the car.

Damn thats tight bro!

I like the paint on it and for the price thats a hell of a deal.

I am doing my paint probably next month but I gotta wait till the engine work is finished and then do some straightening on the body. I figure on taping it off myself and finding a 1day type place and have em shoot it. I am also redoing my wheels and having them powdercoated anthracite grey.

Man that car is looking dope though....*jealous*

Thanks. You thought they'd do a nice job? Alot of peeps were hating on me when I told them I was gonna get my car painted there, I guess they didn't think a decent job could be done for that price but again, I am very pleased with the results. So far everyone has nothing but good things to say about it and my car in general, showing much love:thumbup: In a month or so, im gonna wetsand it and buff it out myself, smoothen it out as much as I can. I did it on my "SaucyCivic" after it got painted and man, it was definitely an eye catcher. I painted the rims myself too, Import Color "graphite grey metallic". I don't have a camber kit and haven't noticed any significant unbalanced tire wear, I also haven't gotten it aligned yeth: The only shop in town that does lowered cars is open on the weekdays only, kinda hard to have it done when I have to work all week. Im gonna get it done next monday, then we'll see for sure how much my camber is off. I'll let you know(remind me though)

Thanks man, that means alot coming from you cause your car is pretty tight in its own right. Nothing to be jealous about though, you have an H22 under the hood, now that's something to be jealous of. Post up some pics of your car when you get it painted and rims poweder coated, im not sure what shade anthracite is but it sounds tight:thumbup:

Actually the Anthracite grey isn't too far off the current color of your rims right now. I will try and find a pic of the color for ya. Mine is actually gonna stay the Nightshade Grey that it is but the rims will be the anthracite grey and i am painting my interior this month while the car is in the shop.....shouldn't take them but 2-3 days to finish the build.
