I had a thread on the start of this car a while ago but i cant seem to find it.
anyways simply, this was built pretty much OOB, using Duplicolor pearl white with tamiya pearl clear on top. the mirrors are cf'ed and so will be the hood, when i reorder some carbon fiber decals. if anyone can tell me some websites that sell cf decals using paypal that would be great.
the taillights seemed to smudge but i had already glued them on when i noticed.
anyways i think i'll repaint the yellow on the bumpers cause i hate them. thanks for looking and please advise on improvements :smile:

oh yeah, the tape on the exhaust in the first pic is there because the glue was drying and the pipe kept falling off before the glue dried

How much adjusting was required to get the ride height it's sitting at?
Very sexy, clean build.

WOW Tonioseven thanks. how did you adjust it? i tried to but it didnt seem to work. yeah sorry bout that my batteries were nearly dead so i turned off flash and used my table lamp as the light source.
looks awesome very clean. why did you paint the vents yellow?
i painted them yellow, thinking they were possibly fog lamps built into the bumper? after painting them i was considering just sanding them and filling them so they would be gone since i dont like them but i had already glued them onto the bumper. any ideas on how to make it look better?
and also thanks to everyone that has given me sites. i have ordered some more carbon fiber. :lol2:

nice honda, great colour scheme.
As for guessing your next project, the wheel looks like a mazdaspeed rim off a FD. So it could be a mazdaspeed FD.
