so i would first like to dedicate the work on the car to my buddy jesse...without him, i wouldnt still be tinkering with these cars...lol

so this is what my car looked like last summer my newest CRX
, a few weeks ago i got a bug up my colon and decided to redo the car, i have never done body work before...

what do you guys think in comparison to the car from the last summer? did i do well? anyone like the scheme i choose?

Yeah, baby! I'm in a reppin' mood, you get some more love for this post. Just because it has pics.

Oh and yes, white is teh sex.

Mine used to be all white like that! Cody's Honda. STOCK BODYWORK WARNING - nashville, Tennessee

it looks great but to me (for some unknown reason) when he side moldings and bottom potion of the car is body matched it looks weird. i like m,ine black like they came factory but some crxs can pull it off. and you sir are doing such.

I still like the yellow rust bucket the most lol, it looks good, I don't know anything about body work, but I would have to agree with slow_eh2 that it look cleaner/stockyerish (my new word that I invented) if you still had all the trim and stuff normal and unpained. But still gj

Every y-49 is cursed! My husband tried trading me his. No thank you!

Nice job, that car looks so good in white.

But I have to agree with slow_eh2, I would have left the trim black. I like how it breaks up the car. But that's just a personal preference. Still looking really good.

I can't really see from the pic, but are those stock Si wheels?

anassa · 07-01-2009, 04:25 PM

Hey don't hate on the yellows... they just have "bad luck"

Those do look like the stock si rims, or some other oem honda rim painted black... and mounted backwards!! lol

MQTGSR · 07-01-2009, 06:00 PM

it looks like crap.

haha, j/k man

they are, some how over a few years i have acquired like 3 sets....back when i was looking for them i couldnt find them, and now i have more then i can use

You know what I always say about wheels, and what I always recommend. Get some 6ul's for that bad boy. Then I'll respect it. Hell, I'll even help you make some sweet overfenders so they fit legally. 295/35-15 tires is where it's at, dude. It's all about STANCE:

so they are BMW rims? Everyone asks me what they are, and I tell them BMW I think, but I was never sure, I couldnt remember what you told me. I assume there from an E30 because of the 4x100 pattern?
