I've had a full roll of matte black 3m 1080 vinyl wrap that I was going to originally wrap my 95 civic Si in. I decided to get my EG painted and will now use the wrap on my daily driver E. :)

Here's a few hours from today. I'm hoping to have the entire thing done by next weekend.

I'll be getting JDM H's and new wheels (18's) to finish the look. Stock suspension for the time being.


Both fenders are done.

Front done..this was a major pain in the ass...

Back and rear quarters done. Just need to do the doors and the roof.

Finished the sides. I just need to do the door handles and roof.

I want to add this, anyone who does this for a living...kudos to you. This is a TON of freaking work and the skill and attention to detail needed are incredible. I'm OCD and I couldn't get the corners right.

Overall, this looks great from 10'....close up, I have issues with various panels during my learning process. The front bumper/headlight area being the worst IMO.

Getting new wheels with some of my tax return (18's) and some JDM H's to finish the look.

Looks really clean I like :highfive:

... I think it looks a lot like plasti dip to be honest tho. But even still sick effect no matter which way you did it.

The way I did it is 100 times better and longer lasting than plasti-dip. I can assure you. :)
