Alright, it's done. I am so exhausted I only took one picture with the car semi-cleaned up. More to come. The paint didnt lay completely perfect so after a week or two when the paint cures I will use rubbing compound and make it perfect. I sprayed four final coats and have never been more happy. It looks great for a first time painter (myself).
On another note, I got a new air filter for my CAI since the other one was way too old. I didnt put the type r front lip back on since I was offered a trade for a full Yakima roof rack with bike rail, fairing, etc. It has everything except locks, which I will purchase. Now I need to get an EX lip and those back moldings and I will be completely happy.

HX's? Looks pretty good man, how many coats of clear you use?
And.... Are you missing a piece of trim?
And EX Lip FTW

Did you read my other posts? The molding I was sent in the back fits hatch's. So I have to order and paint new ones.
I've always had HX's.
I used a clear/base. Gonna let it set. buff it out and see if I was to spray some straight clear.
How did I paint it?
What do you mean exactly?

Traded the roof rack for my type r style lip. I cant decide if I like it or not. It doesnt have locks so I'm either getting some new ones, removing the stickers or selling the rack. Getting an "SiR" lip tomorrow for $30
