Thanks
dont worry about what i say... im a picky perfectionist.

It has to do with the shinyness of it, but its blurry at the same time... you can tell its not great.

VRGNCD5, your car always looks really good. For $500, I'd definetly rock that paint job. It looks real nice. The exhaust is a little big, but most of the systems I've seen for the 5gen (or any import) usually are. I like the rims, but I think with your paint, maybe some Konig Holes, or Tenzo Passion5's would look good (the gunmetal versions) they have a fat polished lip. Good luck with the ride bro. And when you paint the valve color, let me know the step by step, I need to do it too!

Not worried. I'm not claiming that I have the quality of a $3000 paint job, but for what I paid, I think it's damn good. A better pic of the reflectiveness of the finish is posted below.

Thanks bro. Yeah, im not really feeling the muffler either, im looking into getting someting along the lines of an RS*R, Greddy SP, maybe even a Flowmaster:dunno: I just want something that is more low profile and stock looking, but roars to life at WOT. If all goes well, I will be doing the valve cover next weekend. I forgot my tools at work so I couldn't do it this weekend But im gonna be rotating my tires, painting my rotors and my valve cover as well, should be fun. I'll hook you up w/a DIY too
