As much as I typically enjoy pearl white cars I've always wanted to paint a car Honda's Championship White.

You didn't find it weird when I said you got the right white?

didn't know that's what you were talking about. thought you liked it for the brighter/crisper shade, because I like that a lot too.

since its not pearl, my plans for 11+ front bumper conversion are going to happen sooner rather than later. I'm really excited.

I'm considering buying red taillight overlays, have any of y'all installed those before? Wonder if I should attempt myself or just take it somewhere. I really suck at applying stickers/tint/etc.

i have asked tint shops if they do overlays, but lots of them say that after a while it peels off.

Watched Man do headlight overlays. It really doesn't look too difficult.

I THINK the guy is local to the area/on-ramp. But it could be just another POS truck.

He knew what he was doing. Knew he had to get 2-3 lanes over to get on the freeway.

Just called CHP and gunna be stopping in to write a statement and give them the video files.

Aspen White is a pure, beautiful white. They only did Aspen White for the '08s and '10 SEs.

Because now you know you have to get it painted?

I had lights that were done by someone else. But I have no patience.

I never had a problem with the red peeling on my old car.

The shape on the taillights has a few complex curves. I recall this being an issue back in the day. I suspect materials and techniques have come along.
