engine bay looks great. Is that a common mod with these hondas? Do you have to modify the hood to make it clear or no?

sorry for all the questions lol not familiar with any of it

I will have to modify the hood frame for clearance, but thats not a problem. Originally I made bigger sheetmetal sections that would have come through the bonnet lol.

The more common mod for Hondas is to cut holes and leave it as is. Unfortunately, that leaves the bay open to catch all the crap the tires sling up. As for the hood, it looks like he still has plenty of clearance but his towers look a bit higher than other tower mods I've seen.

Yep and due to the fact that the bay will be all clean and smooth, I dont want stones and grime bouncing around in there (to an extent). The towers are high, but im not worried.

Ox, those towers came out really nicely. I despise how most everyone leaves them open and appear as if they were cut with a screwdriver and hammer. Lookin' snazzy.

As do I. Nothing worse than a gaping dirty hole

Nice work man...
Cant wait to see it all painted up...
U picked a bay colour yet???

I havent....

Does anyone have any input? The body of the car will be white, the whole engine and box will be black with ceramic coated chrome headers, black brake booster and other accents in the bay.

Was thinking a red, then started leaning towards blue, then my favourite colour; Magenta. Still undecided.

I havent given too much away, as I'd like to keep some things till the end, but im still going in circles in my head lol.

What about matching it to the rest of the car, white. Or you really want the two-tone look?

So good Oxer, glad you're getting back to it, can't wait to see it out in person again.

You should probably make a poll for which color, my vote is for plasti dip blaze pink...









But seriously, I think all the colors you've listed will look great. It would be cool if you used a special shade of one of those colors though, like Panther Pink instead of regular magenta or bayside blue instead of just a gloss blue. That's just my .02, I now it'll turn out awesome no matter what you choose.

Paint it cunt color

[RatJack]

FFFFF I thought of doing this a while back and I thought I was the only one dang. Car is looking tits Oxer

[SebastienPeek]

Paint it cunt color

I have never laughed so hard in my life. Thank you kind sir!

I want to seperate the bay from the rest of the car, since thats where most of my time will have gone. If I painted it the same colour, it would blend in and just be bland. most people wouldnt take a second look.

What I have in mind will most likely divide people, 70% wont like it, but look more then once, 20% will love it, 8% wont understand why and 2% will see the effort and work involved.

It wont be a standard colour I just didnt really want to give away too much. Just want opinions on the hue more so then the finish

Since you said the car will be white and you thought about doing it red, what are your thoughts about a deep red? Kind of like a burgundy?

I think with the engine being mostly black and the other accessories being black, a nice deep red/burgundy would really make the engine bay pop.

Anyways, car is looking good, I liked the little video.

gotcha, thanks fellas

and as for the engine bay, tiffany blue? always think is a classy color

[FunfGang]

I think magenta or deep, metallic purple would be cool. Maybe throw some rainbow flake in there!

[Oxer]

Another reason I liked red was because I thought about having red accents in the interior.... I might stick to red. lol. The interior might get some small work, I will probably retrim the front and rear seats, and the panels in the door trims. All the plastics and dash are grey, which kinda sucks. I did find a fibreglass overlay in japan, along with a carbon one, but the shipping was killer. Plus if I painted the dash, I'd have to paint everything else. We'll see.

Id say leave the bay as the rest of the car. Good work dude, i wanna swing by soon to sus out some progress !
