Not being a follower!? I know I've spray bombed my car 2 times already, and it was fun, but I also didn't waste a decent paint job and I won't do it again. and I know there have been SEVERAL people on this forum alone that have rocked the flat / satin black look.

Not many people on here use mom and dad's money... having a job takes care of that.

doubtful, unless you count going the speed limit "running with". no mommy/daddy money here, it's called having a good job and working for the nice things I have

Last time I checked we're all car enthusiasts no matter our taste/style. You guys need to get over yourselves----we're all driving Hondas/old ass Acuras. No wow factor there.

While I too don't agree w/ the kid's style, instead of being hateful, why not give helpful ideas, ask legit questions, and offer to help him.

*waits for bashing bc that's all this board knows how to do*

Its his car, He likes it, he does it. Paint the rims Takata Green. Green HIDs to match. Who currs.

With that said, Satin would be nice.

You it's not. The person I quoted, it is. From my time on here, there doesn't really seem to be many that could. I may be wrong, and will admit if I am, but most just seem to care about looks and being "hella flush". Everyone has their opinion on things and I found that comment amusing is all

To all the h8er's, its a 20 year old honda. Unless you plan on building the car why would you want to pay for a proper paint job? So when you sell it you loose more money than you would have if you just painted it like he did?

He bought it, He didn't like the color, so He painted it to his liking. I applaud you sir.

Im sure when you look at it in person it has it's flaws, but who cares if your happy with it then rock on.

He is not the first one to do this exact same thing on this board, If it would have been a more know member then everyone would be swingin on their nuts saying how nice it looks. Let it go people, he likes it and its his car.

If we go by that logic we shouldnt mod cars or hell even buy them as we will most likely just lose our money.

In this case he painted it with cheap spray paint and honestly did lower the value of it just by painting it like that. Now I understand why he did it. But the way he went about it was wrong.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps
