Was it your car that had the hand formed bondo rear fender lips at Sparta? I really like that new color. I think some of the Civic SiR's came with that shade as well. Or at least one similar. Are you planning on having the head light coves painted black? I prefer body color. That bad boy is screaming for a set of charcoal GTA wheels

Thanks guys,

No bondo formed nothing at sparta...

I am quite partial to my 16 inch IROC-Z rims in the garage so no need to get new rims there...

I like body colored headlights as well.

I need an opinion on this...

Heritage Stripes (White or Silver)?

Silver gfx (Used to have that, matched with the IROC-Z rims)

Silver Heritage Stripes with silver gfx?

Opinions? Here's mine. I love the IROC wheels too. Definately keep them. I would paint the headlight area black. If you're doing stripes go with silver.

I say not to stripe it....I thought long and hard about doing that on mine when I had it painted last year, but passed on it, I think it looks better without them.

As for a 2 tone with the ground fx....hmmmm I never thought about that to be quite honest. THat might look good, I would have to give it some more thought.

I'd leave the stripes, you're going to drive that car year-round and the snow/ice won't allow them to stand up well for as long as you want?

Go with three tone for ground effects... silver for the most part, but between the siilver and blue, a different shade(lighter) blue stripe...

The old z28's had them and they looked awesome!!!

My opinion...

I didn't know you had IROC wheels for the car. I'd stay away fro the stripes. It has a nice clean, un-busy look to it. It's nice.

Hey Slade,

It is a very nice shade of blue that you have picked. Did you get any help in deciding?

What is next on your "to do" list? Any engine mods or interior upgrades?

I just love the smell of new paint.

Looks good

I would leave the ground effects body colour

I like the black headlight buckets

And if you are going with the stripe make it white.

I'm not gonna waste a min on polishing or cleaning my 15's lol

they are winter beater rims! Funny I use aftermarket american racing rims for winter beaters lol...

My 16's on the otherhand have a crap load of brakedust and accumulated dirt over the years so those are gonna get the simple green/ brush like there's no tomorrow treatment...

Then a polish on the silver paint and voila back to good old silver 16x8 STOCK (yes my puny SC came with them) IROC-Z rims with good tires again...

Hey Chris, you try using zaino on those rims?

I'm thinking when I zaino my car the rims get the treatment too since the fronts attract so much brake dust...

Some of that spray on tire stuff and it'll look great.
