you're lucky you don't have the pinstripe, I had to get mine removed and I can still see where it was faded :(

heheh Thanks guys. Seems like silver was the big ticket :). I'm thinking of getting a new intake any thoughts? I'm currently looking at the AEM CAI and the comptech icebox. I'm concerned about water as this will be my daily driver rain or not :). Also on a side note I'm have the 3 rear windows tinted to 5% next tuesday. I'll drop some more pic once it's done see whatcha all think :).

man that's all bad, think the paint will blend together eventualy or is it from the adheisive (pardon my spelling) that they used to stick it on? Also I have the notorious dash dimple as well next to my AC vents do you? Think I'm just going to live with mine cause I don't want them to monkey up the rest of the car when they replace the dash to fix it :).

the guys at the body shop said it will blend eventually, especially after a good waxing

and what is the dimple you're talking about? I've never heard of it

If you scroll down a bit in this thread you can see what i'm talking about. That's cool that they said it will blend tho.

Thanks man, I like your ride as well. Checked out the cool wing. Maybe I'll hook one up for my ride. What was the total cost? (wing/install/paint) (if you don't mind spilling the beans) . Thanks again.

Thanks. The wing is a replica of the Civic Type R version which I bought from Renova Auto (Renovaauto@yahoo.com) for $160 shipped. The total cost of shaving and filling (the end mounting supports), sanding, priming, painting, clearcoating, and installing will depend largely on your auto body but will be between $300-$500 on avg. - parts and labor. It's well worth it seeing as how the OEM Honda version is $450 BEFORE any work is done :eek: . Contact George with that e-mail address - He is super cool .:cool:
