ok so i went to the shop 2 days ago and got some updated pics and i rolled the front fenders.

so the roof and quarter panels have been primed and block...

antenna has been shaved


trunk, doors, and rear bumper have been final blocked.






rolled the fenders.


they had marked where the side marker goes but i elected to have them shave the side marker from my jdm fender. i figure it will look a lot cleaner without the side markers.




so i took out the housings of my spare black housing headlights and taped off the part for the parking light. i am having the housings painted the same color as the car (glacier frost mica). ive never seen this done on a prelude so i figured i would try it. if i dont like it i have my other set of black housings so not to worry. i am currently wetsanding and buffing the lenses and i am finishing up the retro fit. ill post pics of the progress later.
i also cut out the centers of the grills, filled and sanded them.


my inspiration for the color matched headlights comes from the honda fits, c6 vettes and nob's s15:





so the fenders are being worked on as i type this. i was told that by sometime next week, next weekend at the latest, the car will be sprayed. then its 3 days for the paint to cure, 1 day for the motor to be swapped back in, and 1 day for the wetsand, buffing, and detail.
thanks for looking,
_zac
