with that blue I would go bronze, if I was going through the hassle of painting I would shave the side mouldings ---

eh, to shave those right it would be a huge pain in the ass, plus i really like the stock look…im probably repainting them black and getting rid of those gay projectors ---

Why did you not prime/seal the area where the sideskirt goes? If/when the gap between the skirt and the car widens it will look like crap. Just my $.02 as I’ve seen way too many repainted cars that were once red and still show signs of it. ---

IMO I would go bronze but not dark bronze. Brighter bronze almost gold will contrast the blue and make the paint pop more. ---

I just like to be stripped light weight as can possibly be I wouldn’t repaint the mouldings just get new ones that never been painted ---

yeah i def need to fix that gap, its not a shell its a daily driven ls swap civic, and i want to prime the red at the bottom just wasant thinking when we primed it with the side skirts on, i still have to prime a little more like inside the doors and hatch, ill be sure to get it when i do that, well check back for some updates this sunday night ill have pic of the entire painting process posted, oh and i decided i like both wheel colors equally so im letting it up to the poll ---
