wannaBstuntin Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Some of you may know that some idiot in NJ hit me back in August. I finally got the bumper replaced now (even though they didn't fix the fender or replace the headlights yet). Since they couldn't fix the bumper, I got a new one and told them to paint it grey instead of red like it was. I think it looks better because it matches the lower half of the car now (even though I don't like the 2-tone anyways). What do you guys think?

Rick B. Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 lol. maybe $30 to go buy a can of spray paint. rattle can that b!tch. jp a carbon fiber hood would look good on that car and would take care of the red one you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat467 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think it would look fine if the front fenders weren't completely black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 a carbon fiber hood would look good on that car and would take care of the red one you have. that would certainly cost less than a paint job....and look better than a can of spraypaint I think it would look fine if the front fenders weren't completely black. the fenders are CF....again, not my doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat467 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 the fenders are CF....again, not my doing Well I know you didn't do it. I was just saying if they had that red on it like the rest of the car it wouldn't look too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH6TunerDaniel Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 lol. maybe $30 to go buy a can of spray paint. WTF kind of spraypaint do you buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 ok, a couple cans of spraypaint. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 no!!!! dont paint the fenders. we are trying to get rid of the two tone remember! yea, if I was going to paint anything, I would get rid of the two-tone altogether. I'd go all grey or black, and do more CF (hood/trunk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 My friend needed 47 cans of spraypaint to rattle-can his 92 Accord. Looked good, though. Very even and held up well, and he pulled off the flat-black look with how low it was on his 17s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 though you dont like the two tone, i think it'd look better if you painted the top half of the fenders red and follow the line down to the front bumper. looks better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 though you dont like the two tone, i think it'd look better if you painted the top half of the fenders red and follow the line down to the front bumper. looks better though. maybe. where would the line go? someone want to "paint" it on the pic? What about raising the grey up to the windows instead??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i think it would look good if the two tone was reversed, where the top would black starting at the base of the windows. this is the only pic i could get of something like that ive seen a lot of cars like that and it looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i really dont like that on civics. my friend had it on his and i didnt really feel it. but maybe it would look better on his (since my friends was the 99 Si model). as far as the line: just draw a line to match up with the bottom part of the hood (where it meets the front bumper). something alone that line.

wannaBstuntin Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 don't laugh... i'd like everyone's opinion though. pick a couple. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 if you want to keep the two tone id go with 3 but keep the top/horizontal part of the fender red so the line flows with the one on the door. otherwise i think one color is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannaBstuntin Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 haha, i kinda like 3 personally. the last one all grey looks kinda "spraypainty" for lack of a better word. just not a good color for all over. 1) 3 2) 1 3) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
