I saw a gray hatch at the junkyard with a paing job just like that. Not too bad, although it was rusted and busted.

IMO, i think flames should be left to hot rods.

Is that car stock or is it a sleeper???

Yeah, I agree, I think that flames look kinda cheesy, but that's my own personal opinion. The job looks good though, i'll give it that:p

Expensive flame paint jobs belong on modified cars, not bone stock civics. Sorry if I offened you, but in my opinion flames are for hotrods.

I know that paintjob costs alot of money. I'm wondering though, is there a reason why she didn't paint the side moldings and mirrors too? IMO it would look much moe "expensive" with those panels painted.

i like the missing piece of moulding on the passenger side, coupled with the honda H that was taken off the hood. the LED squirters are a perfect compliment to the whole package. this person will definitely make some people feel better about their own cars when they see this driving down the road.
