I'm pulling my car completely down and media blasting the entire shell and repainting and undercoating the car. My advice to you is that if you don't go this far, make sure you pay close attention to "trimming" your car out, ie door jams, truck area, and so on, the final touches like that make or break a paint job IMO and it separates the good jobs from the hack jobs.

When I get ready to paint mine im going with championship white like the integra type-r but I trying to find a s13 front clip with all the body panels so I can do it all at once. Do you guys know any places that sell front clips with the motor and body panels?
