That looks very nice! I'm not a huge fan of the color, but it's not bad. The paint job looks very clean and well done.

Haha, too much... no just kidding. Not alot, a few bucks for sandpaper... and a few bucks for paint and presto.

And no that isnt the future color sceme, the valve cover picture came out light... in person its alot darker, I will retake it tomorrow to show you guys that. Thanks for the comments everyone, hell I might even take it off and spray another coat on... that was fun :)

The 5th gen CX has got to be the slowest civic ever. Like 70hp. Thats why you HAVE to swap to make that car fast
