i understand that its your car, and every1 has a vision for what they want their car to look like, some like the slammed look some like the "raw" look, I think your car is coming along fine, only issue i have is the rear over-fenders they just look to wavy or bacon'y (if that's a even a word??) I myself am a fan of the subtle aggressive look, but hey that's just me, anyway good luck with your future plans for her
Thanks brother, I may use a rubber fender molding in order to get a slightly tighter fit, I just couldn't rock no fenders and welded quarter panels anymore lol
The rubber fender molding is a good idea for this. Honda has replacement trim molding that is used on the front lips that you can pic up for $20. It will be a thin molding that shouldn't be too obtrusive. I think that Highwaystardoritos guy used the same thing, with the same flares (in the rear), on a silver car. That will give you an idea of what it all looks like.

I know it would look more uniform to the masses with paint. We will see what happens in the spring time, thank you those for viewing.
You still don't get it.

If you want to two tone the car then do it. The flares are wavy, they have exposed edges, and just don't look finished. Clean them up, prep them, and paint them black if you want the two tone look.

People aren't breaking your balls because you chose to paint half the parts on your car a different color than the rest of the car. People are breaking your balls because you didn't do anything else other then tack them onto the side of the car.

I did see that you mentioned you were driving around with welded quarters. Did you cut and weld the quarters before you got the flares? That seems pretty bold if you didn't have them in front of you to measure how far up into the quarter panel you could remove.
They were cut from my asm's, only was about a week. Looked like a hot rod. Once the spring rolls around ill make some descisions about paint/wrap/w.e have an 01 so tbh, the whole thing could use a spray.

Tell your editor to brighten up the pics. Looks like he shot your car during mid day when the sun is at it's brightest so he dulled down the pics. Have him shoot closer to golden hour or early morning/foggy weather and brighten up his exposure. A couple dark/dim pics look nice but all of them.... NO

Other than that, keep doing your thing and keep moving forward.

Get some Honda weatherstripping for front lips. That will do the job. Your going to have to unrivet set stripping then re rivet. Will fill in the spacing real nice
