TLontheDL Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 your planning on painting it yourself? if you have a paint and body shop then go for it but otherwise, i would let a professional do it. you really can't get an exact paint to match your bumpers to the rest of the car, unless its a brand new car. most cars have faded paint due to years of diff weathers.

optional187 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 if you're doing a color change then do it right! make sure you get the door sills, engine bay, etc...cars look really stupid when they have a different color engine bay than the do exterior.

CRG7 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 i have a frost white engine bay on my sol that is custom blue/purple and had a maroon engine bay on my crx that is a heavy metallic silver... ended up spraying the bay with high temp black paint a while back when we did the auto to manual conversion, but it doesn't stay forever. door jams are all done, but i could care less at this point what color the engine bay is. i'd rather spend the money on modifications rather than paint.

BigBirdSucks Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 why do you want your hood a different color than the rest of the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercutio Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 $2,000 wont be enough for any portion of any of the work you described. Unless you pull an insurance scam, that paint job alone will cost you a good $20,000. The engine swap will be minimal $3,000 after installation for a stock GSR motor. Turbo is about $3,000 more. Not to mention beefed internals to handle the boost. If you really want some help, ask or PM SSR. Im sure hes around somewhere, dishin' out the know-how.

Im sure hes around somewhere, dishin' out the know-how. a high quality paint job is nowhere close to $20,000. if you're going to go turbo, I suggest building up a B18A/B or a B20. IMO, they're better than a DOHC VTEC. if you do go with a B18C1, expect to pay a bit more than $3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
