***Official What did you do to your EK today***

[mattsrea]

Lol true. Money is going towards engine plus full re-spray

Full respray? To what colour? Body looks clean as is asides the parts you bought and havent repainted.

Ful respray cause got quoted only a couple of hundred $$$ difference between painting bars and wing to painting the whole car. Got mates rates too. Undecided on the colour.
Either keeping it white or something different.. Battleship grey??? Still undecided.

Picked up some free tweeters from wreckers the other day and managed to install them Really happy of how they sit and how good they are!

Just paint the bars and wing lol. Whoever you're going to is over charging you or is doing dodgy resprays.

i would stick with a white imo unless you want to pay extra and have the bay + door jams done.

Why change colour man? So many people these days (incl myself) would love a white civic, sadly white ej8s were hard to come by back in my days ><" So yeah stick with white And yeah what ivseenwars said is true. Painting a bar and wing shouldn't cost more then $500 and if painting your car for $500 isn't a diy backyard job then its kinda dodgy.

Average price a decent panel shop should be charging you is $850-$1000 for EVERYTHING. (Strip car, prep/repair, paint, assemble, detail) Drive in drive out. Any more and you're getting ripped off.

[mattsrea]

really? I thought that cost would be for a front end only?

DT Panels and MJ Jap Motorsports charge approx $2.5k excl. engine bay and door jam. Dunno about assemble though.

I was talking about just the bars and the wing. And it needs to be a top quality job. Full doors closed respray i'd expect like 2.5-3k. 4K + for jams+bay.

[mattsrea]

oh right fair enough that makes sense then.

After Foam, Hydrate and then skin.

Next up coils?

Oh you got your P's. Congrats buddy. No more attending meats on foot.

Also the ammo stuff turned out ridiculously good. How does it feel?
