Default My first minor mod to my Civic

Well...I just got my '96 Civic in August and haven't had the money to do anything to it...and still don't. So what I did was free...since I work at my dad's bodyshop. My Civic came with these awful gold emblems. So since we had some free time at work...my dad let me take off my emblems and paint them. Anyways...here's how they turned out. The pic of my grille didn't come out good since it was rainy and all the water makes it look weird. And don't mind the paint chipping on the actual grille, I'm gonna be ordering an Si grille soon anyways.

That's what I figured because the hood, headlight, is shaped a tad differently h:
