Just got my FD Painted!!!

I am really happy with it, please tell me what you guys think...

It is very similar color as before but had sanded down to metal (to remove all red) and replaced all outside rubber and plastic trim that was painted over by previous inferior job.

Hope you guys like.

Looks awesome. I really like the yellow calipers against the gray. Then I saw the yellow seats

Show some interior shots if you don't mind.

Yeah I half-way agree on the seats... were done by previous owner and I chose up to this point to spend money on reliability and performance mods...

here's my cardomain page: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2067608

I also just installed the ashtray replacement armrest and aluminum a/c *****, I'll post some shots.

I was planning on getting new seat covers in either all black or black with dark grey.

Looked at the site. You know - I kinda like those seats, on your car of course! I don't know if I would like 'em in mine. I'm not into the flashy stuff. It's kinda working though with the gray though.
Did you pull everything under the hood for the repaint, or were there other reasons?

The car looks good.

Fix the IC duct, cover the hole and try to seal it to the face of the IC.

The closest thing I've seen to a two tone is a car with racing stripes. !!!

Looks really good but the yellow seats have to go. Everything else is sweet.
