i like what you have done. your cb7 stands out against the others. later.

thanks alot, TypeG...that's what i'm hoping for...btw, the cleanliness of your ride should be outlawed...at least in the continental US.

Nice color man. I like the wheels too. Cant wait to see some 50s on there though. Keep up the good work.

there's 50's on there now...but they're 55's in the sig pic...thanks guys.

well, the cf hood is temporarily outta service...i didn't lock down one of my hood pins and hit a nice bump doing 40...and whammmy! windshield full o' cf...back to the stocker til i get it fixed...but hey, i found an H23 head and some extras for $250...i guess that's the silver lining.

ha ha...i found some B-49M Laurel BLue Metallic touch paint...in the can. they have more here (sorry if others have seen this):

here's the damage to the hood. i'm hoping to fix it with just fiberglass and some bondo and repaint it black...i don't want to paint it but...

[chile]

did my external coil conversion...pain in the ass. also got the wrong touch up paint...my code B-49M-3...not the one paintscratch sent...oh well.

Looking good Troy, nice Accord man

Instead of buying a carbon fiber hood you should have put the $ twords your performance. It's kinda ***

[chile]

let's see...$100 for a CF hood...go ahead, pass that up...

[ExStAsY]

I would get it was OEM Shaped, but it looks more like 2 Fast 2 furious

[ExStAsY]

Do you have hood pins cuz you like them or does the hood not fit

[chile]

well, i couldn't find an oem (which was what i wanted) and this hood came up...can't pass on $100. the hood latch wouldn't latch correctly, even after adjustments, so i had to use hood pins...i was gonna get black ones but screwed the hood before i got a chance...

1. That is the 1st movie.
2. The Eclipse had a power bulge stock.
3. That is an OEM style hood.

That is all.

chile...always nice seeing another LBM on the board. Have you managed to find touchup paint that works yet? I need to redo a part or two of my bumper.

AW, i went to paintscratch.com and bought 2 cans but it's slightly off (maybe a 1/2 a shade darker but it could be the age of the car, too...i don't know)...i'll post pics later. i still gotta spray the clear...it looks better than the craptacular duplicolor (a gm domestic blue) i was trying but you can see the difference...i'm hoping this guy has my H23 head ready this week...just found out i'm gonna have another shoulder surgery so i gotta get on the ball with the headswap...

EDIT: the paint code i got from paintsratch was B-49M-B-1...mine is B-49M-3
