ok well. slapped the hood on. didnt do to bad. chipped one spot BUT its not the best paint anyways... i was alittle short on paint so its not my best spray paint BUT it is just spray paint after all.LOL
but looks alot better than gray primer tho!
its at least a start. im still going to paint it. tho still not positive what color just yet... either stock silver or the original plan gunmetal.
better than before tho.

LOL ya well you have to use a ugly hood for obvious reasons.LMFAO
ill never need that extra clearance since i like my civic slow. i like max MPG. i got my truck for my grunt force but it LOVES GAS way to much!
thats why im forced to drive my civic all week till payday since im broke and gas is freaken almost 3bucks already!
i still plan on painting the civic so this is just a TEMP since im really tired of the primer look.
unless someone buys the car that is. im still not sure about the paint color. silver will be very easy since no jams to match but wont look as good.
if i do gunmetal i would be keeping it since so much time would be put into it matching all the jams. so ill just be stuck with slowly trying to pay off the credit cards.

ya that was my original plan to paint it gunmetal. its just a full color swap job that is alot more work with removing the doors and tucken the interior back or removing parts of it.
and then i gotta pull the motor and all that stuff under the hood to complete it. which is a good amount of work itself!
because if i do a color change i wanna do it right and full jams and everything!
