Looks real nice man, now you just gotta keep the white theme goin somewhere else so it doesn't clash quite so much. I know absolutely nothing about painting, and my windshield wipers have faded quite a bit. would some good ol' regular black spray paint do the trick, or do you recommend something else?

any black enamel, with a nice clear coat on top should hold for long enough. just take your time, and make sure you take the wipers off of the car first, don't try to mask it all off.

Yea Wieland I've definately been lookin around, of course money is always a problem. Speaking of short shifters I have one in the mail right now, by pspec tuning. They are one of the only brands that makes a real short shifter for the accord, and this kit also comes with a nice new boot and knob. I think I may be gettin a tint sometime in the next couple of weeks, and after that i'll be lookin around for some rims and exhaust. One step at a time.

why did you mess up a nice clean and shiny black dash? i would understand if it was cracked or fade but you just completed the first ricer stage of your life. oh and in 6 months or so post up some pics and tell us how good it looks. did you ever see alecks super white interior, nasty a few months later. but for the first day in it looks good.just stop painting stuff.

lol. matt's got his points, but it's also your car, and can do what you want with it. I like the seats and everything, but like he said, be careful with painting interior parts. I did a lot of painting on my brothers corolla a while back, and ended up painting most of it back to stock color, or just getting all new trim pieces. make it fast and handle well, and most of all, comfortable to drive.

i can only talk from painting everything on my car once or twice. seriously every part on a car has been touched by a can at some point and its not that great, i did my interior bc it was shit brown, and painted it black, the cleaner it is the more it stands out these days. i mean look at me, i drive a blue and green mexican b16 swaped crx, every amigo in el paso has two of these and there house.
