New Paint

[burkey22]

Here are a few pics of my Stagea fresh out of the paint shop. Let me know what you think, unless you think it looks crap of course.

I love it!!!! Looks real nice, if you get a chance source some clear indicators for the front bar and the side panels. I have them on mine having swapped them over from the ornage ones. Mine is standard silver, and with the clear lights looks very nice. Black and clear would look primo. But the car as it is looks real good. Money well spent IMO!

what black is it??

mate i like the paint colour only two things about the car i dont like (and these are personal preferences so no offence) are the height it looks too high to me and i dont like white rims on any car especially one thats sitting as high as that.

the black looks good tho. did you get anything colour coded? like bump strips and the like?

dont mean to be rude but do you mind if i ask how much approx it cost and what they did for the bucks?

[burkey22]

Happymeal : Clear indivators would be good. Could you please tell me where I can find some?

Silver GTS-T : It's Honda Back with a blue pearl on top.

McNamg : I totally agree about the height thing and as soon as I can afford it I'll get some adjustable suspension for her.

The paintjob set me back $4000. They prepped it and painted it.

There was a dent in the bonnet which they fixed and they found some rust when they took my rear view mirrors off so they fixed that too. They painted inside all my doors, Colour coded all the bumpers and strips and mudflaps but not the roof racks and they didn't paint underneath the bonnet or the engine bay.

They also painted my brakes red. I'm fairly happy with it.

Of the three decent paintshops near me they were the only one to quote me under $8000 so I didn't have alot of choice.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Hey Burkey looks great. As with everyone else I think the sus needs some attention. I am putting my Teins on next wed so will post a pic after it settles a bit.

Cheers,

very nice... have fun keeping the white rims clean though

I'm with Glenn (mcnamg) here, and don't like the white wheels, and the height's a bit of an issue too, but considering you're already contemplating the suspension change, there's no need to go on about that.

Other than that, it looks like either a hot-looking panel van (with those super dark rear tints) or a Mafia/Yakuza-spec wagon. (Don't worry, the panel van comment is meant to be a compliment!!!)

If it was my car, I'd be throwing on some Black Chrome or Hyper Bronze coloured wheels.

Love it! Nice choice of colour!

[mcnamg]

I agree with Nick (Goldzilla) about the bling bling gold or chrome rims it adds that touch of yakuza cred to the car.

something like this maybe??

BBS gold centres with chrome outer rims - porn on a black staj.
