Official 'What did you do to your car today?' Thread

I will say it’s def not easy. The biggest problem is getting the right amount of paint into the dings. “Professional” detailing people tend to fill, then they end up sanding the dots down flush with the other paint and then steps of polishing/wax.
 
Installing my escort redline soon, new coiled wire and new three suction radar mount:giggle: to match the anti radar Honda paint, SR-71 Honda. And Firehawks 500 Indy being installed Monday.:wheee:

That's what I am afraid of. I did some touch up paint on my Haro (BMX bike) and did a horrible job lol. But I was only around 14 at the time, I had nasty bumps but it was going to get scratched anyway.

The spots on my car are not really too bad it is just chipped to the white coating. There are just about 30+ of them through so it may just be easier to have a professional sand the area and repaint it. I also have a few parking lot dents I like to get addressed as well.
 
@sunofwolf thanks, I really love the Blue Honda uses. I orginally had a Black 2012 coupe I got back in 2011 when they came out. After my wife got pregnant I needed something bigger and the I wanted a 2013 Accord with the V6 manual but couldn't find one. At the time they had my SI sitting on the show room floor and I kept going back to look at and I ended up wanting it more.

Extremely good tutorial if you’ve not seen it.

I have some touch up paint. I am also worried about the air conditioner condenser- It is perfectly placed to have tiny rocks go though it and seems very flimsy, perhaps a plastics screen of some sort in front to catch stones.
 
power cord and new mount for escort radar ordered today should have both on Friday, Fire hawks tires go on tomorrow. :bananapop: happy Easter, back to netflicks!:bananawhipdance:
 
It's been a few weeks, but I don't think I ever posted after I got everything installed -
Swift Spec-R lowering springs
Truhart front struts and Koni Sport rear shocks
Buddy Club adjustable rear upper control arms
Advan RZ-II wheels 17x8" et37
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 225/45R17
There's a bit of poke (if these wheels had an offset of +43 they'd be about perfect) but not much.

Today I cut out and installed the 94-01 Map light on my 95 Civic. Hopefully I got it in there straight and even. Now just to figure out why the lights don't come on.
