Well, it needs to be taken to a body shop either way, as I've tried painting a couple times, and I'm not particularly good at it. The front end is now white, and mine is yellow, so you can see my dilema. As far as the whole welding thing, I'm not phenominal at welding either. Aside from that, my best friends father owns a very reputable body shop locally, and in past has only charged me for paint, and done a very good job. This time around I'm not expecting a freebie, but he has a tig welder, and is good at what he does, so I figure I'll just let him do it, and hope for a break.

Any way, Later,
Aj

Hey, one more question if anyone knows...Other than the actual radiator supports, do you need the sheet metal that is conected to them between the radiator supports??? Like where the bumper supports is connected, or can you just use your factory one???? Does anyone have a pic???

Aj

Are you talking about that black support beam, that didn't come on mine?

No, and actually, I did a lot of looking around, and found out that the only thing you need is the upper radiator support and the center beam that holds the two radiator supports togather, the one where the hood latch bolts to. Apperantly this is one of those things that if already painted you could do in your drive way, assuming you know how to weld...

There was a how to on honda tech with pics and all...I dont know the link off the top of my head, but if you want, I saved it on my hard drive, and can give you a copy on disk, or email it to you.

What ever, either way, my body guy is gonna do mine before he does yours any way, so you get the advantage of him screwing up on mine if anything....

Later,
Aj
