satin oxford blue good color. i used it on my engine bay.
j.m.p. used it on his car, and now you have it. not a highly used color that's why i picked it. good luck with the set up and see if you can score a set of non tinted tails or get tinted corners it may help out the look with the rear. or paint the side moldings black to break up the color. IMO

usually when people rattle can a car it means that they dont care or have the money for a nice paint job. after viewing the finished pictures, you have just shown us that you really really dont care about how your car looks. well done.

Well you can mask off the area around the trim i have done this a few times, and it worked out great. Just take your time masking it off, and dont be skeet with the tape also use news paper to help. If you want to fix the corners you have, then look into a marine sealent. You can find it at your local home improvement stores. Just go around the edge of the lens, and let dry. done and ready to go. you also can do a diy tint for the corners all you need to get is tinting film from autozone,walmart, or ect. No over spary issues or un-matched corners. which can happen with the spray tint. hope this helps. remember its a honda im sure there are going to be cars that look worse then yours. if you want to feel good about yourself come out to st. peters.

It isn't cool to take someone's quote that is an insult and then see the OP change into a compliment.

I think it looks decent for what it is, but at least paint the underside of the hood and lose the tinted tails.
