Yeah the whole car could use some paint... I'd like to go with a deep blue and def. do the bumpers... Have to wait until I get back to NJ and my boyz can hook me up with a "paint job for less"

All I can afford now is maaco and I plan to have this car far beyond when the maaco job will start to fade and crack...(no offense to the peeps that have a maaco job but every one I have seen in FL cracks and peels due to the hard sun down here....)

and T-mo, I have a pass side mirror for you but it is a power mirror from a 91... don't know if you can use that or not. I think it would fit up fine.. but you'd either have to wire it up (no idea what is required) or adjust it by hand through the window.

My maaco paint job sucked....rust started to show through and the paint started to crack about a week after the 1 year warantee ran out ....i got rid of that car though so now i have the quality orignal honda faded maroon paint....looks like ass and i love it

The thing about maaco paint jobs is, you should do all the prep work yourself, such as fixing rust spots, and sanding and primering... if it was me, I'd also take it down to them alreaedy masked off for painting, cause they don't do too good of a job that that. And then after you have a maaco paint job done, the next time you want the car painted, you have to strip all the paint off the car, because of the type of paint maaco uses (cheap) other paints wont stick on top of that.

The power mirrors from a 91 (sedan) don't fit the hatch exactly right. The shape of the trim pieces around the mirror are a little different. I think this is due to the different window shapes between the hatchie and the sedan...the hatchie has more slope so the trim is shaped differently.
It is easy however to adjust the mirror manually. I have an LX mirror on my DX sedan (which does fit nicely ) and I just move the glass around when/if I never need to adjust it, which is rare since it is the right-hand side and no one ever adjusts that, at least in the US.... don't you RHD JDM peeps even start

i have no idea what your talking about my cars paint looks great...LOL


i do need one, but gotta learn how to do body work to save myself some money.

Yea, i had a cheap paintjob back when mine was black and silver, the bumpers weren't primed so that chipped off the first time i sprayed it a hose. When i got it repainted the primer would make the paint boil up so it took forever to to get the whole car preped. and i had everything redone so it was like an extra week.
