Cool Small photoshoot of the FB *56K BEWARE*
Just to point out a few things that I know will get brought up, I know my headlight plastic surrounds are very dirty and I've never cleaned them since we painted the car but I plan to replace soon, and also if you see what looks like smear or smudge or parts of the car its because were re-sanding and re-buffing certain parts before we wax it soon. But with all that set aside, enjoy..

We still have a lot of work to do before we wax it but once we do.. it's going to look amazing.

Looks amazing already, could use a pinstripe along the top to break up the red. Mines getting painted next week.

I couldn't leave em on, having seen quite a few FB's local to me that stripped theirs before painting the car, it was just too appealing not to do so

On my old pearl blue FB, I had them paint the moldings on the front and rear bumper but didn't touch the sides. This is how it came out looking:

Looks fabulous bro!!! Going to look beyond amazing once fully done with sanding and wax!

On your old pearl blue FB, when they painted the molding, how did it hold up? Did the paint crack over time?

The paint never cracked over time on the molding actually so as long as they do a good job you should have the same luck.

Thanks. No it's actually painted "New Formula Red" off the 2009 Honda S2000's.

I have a CP racing mold on whaletail wing if you're interested. With some glass work it could be modded to make it a bolt and not spoil your new paint. Car looks very good.
