It came out great dude.

are you sure you weren't a painter in another life?

**Galante** · 09-07-2008, 06:32 PM

^I know how to paint on Watercolors and Oil but this is my first time to diy auto painting. ;)

Thanks guys to all the compliments! If you have questions shoot me a pm.

I really save a lot of cash from diy the auto painting of my jdm's. $900 savings! So now I think I would be able to get my self some treat like vr4 rear bumper and under spoiler + fender flares.

Great job Dude, Really nice and clean car.

**Galante** · 09-09-2008, 08:19 PM

Thanks!

What do you guys think is better for my rear, VR4 bumper w/ under spoilers or the Erebuni rear bumper?

**4g63lover** · 09-09-2008, 08:26 PM

Id go with the OEM JDM VR4, unless you plan to put a lip on the front and sideskirts then I would go with the Erebuni.

Car does look nice as is though dude! Great job on the paint! You should hit the radiator core with some black though.

**Galante** · 09-09-2008, 08:38 PM

That's what I was thinking a VR4 rear bumper. I don't have any plans of installing a lip since the front is already low. It already have the oem new style vr4 skirts. I think the erebuni would look better w/ other kind of skirts. I noticed that too I should have painted the rad core black. thanks

great build thread man. executed very nicely.

**galant808** · 09-10-2008, 08:07 PM

Almost speechless,... Its one of the most ilustrated project ive seen in a while, i also got a 8g, i think its more than decent but your's, your work, and everything that went in on your project, you should have consideration on car of the year, builder of the year at least, if there is one... Anyhow, where could i get that grill you got on, i need a new grill on mines,...

Great job bro! Looks awesome! now just dump that thing 3 inches and add a jdm rear bumper. good luck finding a vr4 rear, even trigg has a hard time finding them.

**Galante** · 09-11-2008, 11:02 AM

Thanks man! Good thing Trigg was able to find me new style vr4 rears w/ under spoilers. It is on its way here from Japs. I'm still trying to get Sikkens base coat paint for these. I can't wait to paint them, it's fun.
