Any new mod coming up soon?
The plans I have next are coilovers and wheels. But right now I'm focusing on my FRS instead of the Civic. :) But I do want to finish the Civic and have my wife happy with her car. She wants me to paint it for her too

A bit off topic, but your username would make a cool personalized license plate. :D

I like the look it's clean and simple..Hmm wonder what that lip would look like on my coupe.. How much lower does the lip come down and would it scrape bottom.. I have a slope at the end of my driveway!:D

I'm right there with ya. That thing wouldn't last a week with me. Between our speed bumps, and the dip in the alley behind my house....crunch!

Oh man I can't wait to see this! Rare Jade is one of my absolute favorite pearls! I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me put Rare Jade on her 2012 Camry SE.

Are you using the RDS and the quart of DPTC on the wheels?

My FRS is Rare Jade right now and my GF wanted her car the same color as well so it should be interesting seeing the Civic in Rare Jade too. The quart is just a premixed quart to have some extra dip so I can add a few layers on top of my FRS. My FRS has some Green Juice mixed in and I like the straight Rare Jade better so the quart will take it back. It IS a great pearl though. Imo it's the best solid pearl DYC has. The wheels will probably be Hyper Graphite dipped because silver doesn't match the Rare Jade at all.

So are you adding the RDS into the base coats? I'd be worried the RDS would create extra texture that would translate into your clear. I've never shot RDS, but I thought it didn't lay as smooth as PDS.

Can't wait to see it. I think I'm going to spray Phoenix Colorshift or Flash Chameleon next. Not planning on peeling until at least next summer/fall tho.

Oh no I have the pearls going into DPTC then shooting that over the base coats.
Heh, I think we're on different pages :p

I'm referring to the Rubber dip spray (RDS) gallon you have there. I see at least two gallons of Plasti dip spray (PDS) and one gallon of Rubber dip spray. They are two different products.
