Oh, and head's up... Looks like a friend of mine might be posting her car in here soon too. So far it's a very clean car, but totally stock. She's got some plans, but we're still trying to work things out and do everything right the first time.

K5^ · 07-06-2008, 11:42 PM

Car's clean. Future plans for it?
I don't know about all the badging on the back end, definitely all legit, but Imo, it kind of clutters things a bit. Still clean canvas to continue work on.

For the most part I like to keep my plans quiet until I get the parts. Otherwise I feel more let down if I can't find said part(s).

I hear a lot of people don't like the emblems, but if I took them off it'd feel naked to me. I'm not a big fan of the "shaved besides the H" look anymore. I just kind of grew out of it.

Thanks again for the compliments. Sean takes great photos and I love the cartoonish look to this set. It's fun compared to the same old stuff I'm used to. Eran's photos are great, but you have to realize all the photos of my car have been fairly close to the same for the past few years.

Thanks again for the compliments.

I like it all minus the badging as well. Im just not a fan of the emblems under the rear lights, I like the added coupe badge though, lucky I have a teg or Id jack your idea with that.

And not to call you out or anything but do you get that shine from products or photo editing? Its obvious the contrast is played with you can see that inn the background, but the civics got a real brilliant shine to it, if thats photoediting then i dont know that process, but I want my car to shine like that!

While I do detail the shit out of my car, a lot of the definition here is from the photo editing Sean did. When I get the raw perhaps I'll post it up for comparison.

None of the emblems were really my "idea". They're all stock badging for European EJ8 coupes. It's just like the sedan "Ferio" badge.

Eran · 07-07-2008, 12:14 AM

No, her car really is that shiny.

Here's a rather mild edit of a shot I took a while back.

EpicKills · 07-07-2008, 12:20 AM

Mind telling us what products you use? Ive been using this spray as you dry wax. Along with the turtle wax. It gets a nice shine in the teal, but not a reflection like that at all.

Eran · 07-07-2008, 12:22 AM

Some of the products we use have changed over time due to availability or finding something better. Any further questions, either of us would be happy to lend some personal advice via emails, PM's, or instant messenger.

NOFX · 07-07-2008, 12:27 AM

I just saw a good shot of my paint's condition.

EpicKills · 07-07-2008, 12:38 AM

Holy shit those were way more indepth then I even imagined. And I thought my cleaning the car, rain the next day, clean the car the very next day was crazy haha. Wish I saw this before I washed the car, good tips thanks a lot both of you.

And DAAAAAAAMN I hope I can get my teal to shine like that.

You've got me looking forward to some photos. Before and after shots.

Post something up once you clean it up. It's not often I see some of the older Honda colors really clean.

Just message Eran or me if you have any questions. We'll try to answer asap.
