also, hi5 with the 3k hids. i got yellow fogs matching the drl's on blacked out ss/na. looks sick during the daytime drivin around. ya dont see enough yellow fogs, its a shame. works ******* wonders when it actually is foggy and nasty out too!

if i wasnt such a ***** i would do the dark grey/gunmetal evo mod, top grill, and rear ss/na grill too, but i am a ***** soooo, yeah.

hmmmm..... is the "test spray" picture with the bumper already scuffed? becasue i see ALOT of gloss to it. Looks good for rattle can, n at least your getting it cleared, but i wanna make sure you prepped it right underneath the paint. Thats the most important step

i mean im suprised how accurate the color is, i dont agree with rattlecanning front bumpers but **** post this on the honda forums so when they get body kits at least they can get them to sort of match there cars instead of driving around primer for 4 years

Lol idk, there 3k hids. Maybe its cause I'm not looking directly at them, there yellow when its all dark out.

And trust me, seattle isn't my favorite place to live, I hate the rain. I'm planning on moving to cali after I'm done with school.

And yeah, I'm gonna get it professionaly clear coated in a like a week and a half so it'll but just as shiny!
