looks dope but help me out...how did you do the panel lines on the yellow so good?

Very nice. I can't get my panel lines and weatherstriping to look nearly as sharp as yours.
One suggestion, paint (or use a marker) around the edge of the headlights. They'll look more real with black edges.

Very clean DC2s. Super sexy. Keep it up, especially with Hondas!

for all my panel lines, I use the tamiya acrylic smoke and lightly thin it down. I then take it and place it into the panel and let the capillary action do its thing. I'll have a little run over outside the panel line. I wait for the paint to dry then take a very very light amount of thinner and wipe off the excess paint. The area may be a little dull after taking off the paint so it may need a touch up of polishing. This time you have to be very careful not to get any polish into your newly painted lines.
Thanks for the recommendation, I just got too anxious to finish the model so I did not have the time to paint around the headlights.
Will: what can I say? I Love Hondas, 90% of my collection is Hondas

Looks great. Both paint jobs are nice and shiny. Speaking of panel lines, you missed the gas refill door and door handles?

another question...what polish do you use?

I try not to overdo it. Sometimes, overdoing the panel lines, takes away from the whole effect. Leaving some out actually brings the model out better and keeps some realism IMO.
I use tamiya grits and finish off with 3M hand glaze

I can understand that. My method of 'not overdoing it' is to use a darker shade of the body color instead of black or dark grey. You might give it a try and see how it works for you.
