    D8's ride in progress

    Ok so this is my G before I found you bunch of quality people.









    Now there's alot of work to be done but the big thing......was I took off that VTEC badge.......
    I also removed the pinstripes except for the black diamond on the front quarters.....
    so that's it for now.....more pics as I continue my quest for a sweet G.....

    I'm giving you a list of very easy and non expensive mods:
    1. Clear the corners (remoe those amber reflector).
    2. Paint the brake calipers.
    3. Color match the grill and fogs surronding (You talked about this before).

    all things I want to do......though colormatching is proving to be EXPENSIVE....found a place that will mix up a batch of W69 for me plus the clear coat and primer.....over $200......for a grille and fog shrouds!! :shock:

    I found some DUPLICOLOR.....it's the 9G white not the 8G color....so not sure if that'll work......

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    nice... i like the black diamonds on the sides. didnt know that they came with the pinstripe.

    call me when youre rolling through minnesota. if you have half an hour we can clear those corners, or we can just trade headlights... cause i like the black housing haha ;)

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    Alot of auto paint stores will mix up your color and put it in a spray can and pressurize it for you. call around and find one that can do it. Then go in there and buy a pint of W69 white basecoat, and have them put some in a spray can for you. The pint should cost about 20-25 bucks and it will be a little extra to have them put in in the spray can and pressurize it.

    Then just go to autozone and get the spray can primer and clearcoat.
