- Sun Feb 10, 2013 12:21 am #326057 Just gutted the interior to spray EVERYTHING that's red, black, to get it ready for paint. Still got the door panels and dashboard to do.
Going to Plastidip just the exterior. My GF and I just did her BMW E34 and it came out quite nice, especially considering the paint only set us back $110. The entire kit was about $320 which included the spray fun, hoses, attachments, several accessories, and 3 gallons of matte black. The whole car only took 2 gallons :thumb: Those pics are listed below as well.

Thanks to gutting the car, several rust spots were revealed including an infants sized fist HOLE in the drivers side floorboard, just under the center console. Time for some rust repair and fabrication!!! :thumb:

The one on the civic is an OBX twin loop muffler and on the BMW is a DC tip straight piped. You can imagine how loud the 4.4L gets lol.

Waiting on a new wheel to come in too, since mine literally broke off lol.

NGR Deep Dish Wheel with Short adapter and quick release.
The wheel itself is only $120.

I'm thinking about cancelling the order and getting a MOMO or Sparco wheel. I found a couple of them that are alot cheaper on eBay..

Nothing has really changed other than the in progress DC Integra dash swap I'm planning and I'm considering swapping out my harness since it seems to have a short in every wire lol.



I'll def post progress pics :D
