Are you effing serious? This is a joke right? I saw a newstory once about a guy in Africa who built a "BMW" using junk parts from other cars. It looked better than this. Even when you paint it, this will be the ugliest car on the planet. Strip that crap off, sell the car cuz you dont deserve it, and then kindly kil yourself, ok?
Good grief, what is wrong with people. I know some people dont like my mods and called me out for going to far from OEM, but what are you thinking? You don't actually believe that looks good, do you?

OMG -- so effing owned by the new guy! (or are you a gal? )
Yeah man, gazr71, not really the direction I would have gone, but it is what you like. I'd like to see what it looks like once the work is done. Will you go all-out wide body? Or is it just the bumpers?
having lived (mira mesa of san diego) in ricerville, im reminded of a mid '90s "forest green" / "unpainted gray" color schemed honda accord 4 door. I dont want to bash you for choosing your modifications, because, well, it is your car, your money, your taste, your life. BUT i do want to ask why did you put the parts on before painting? Is that how its normally done? Is that why i see civics driving around with white and/or gray body kits? are they all on the way to maaco to get the "presidential paint job + car rental!!!!!!111!!" for the very low price (and, would you believe it, lower quality) of $200 paint job? or is it because they are too cheap to pay maaco $200 to get their shit painted. then go across the street and get their fucking folgers secured so everytime they go over a fucking bumb, their muffler bounces up and down up and down. God damn. anyway, original question: Why mount before paint? honest question, not trying to make fun.
If you want your paint to match, mount before paint. If you can match color easily without having to mount first, just have th body shop paint it for you (like, if you have a hellrot BMW). On metallics, I would say first mount, then spray and color/match fade into the rest of the body.
ahhh, i see. That makes sense. but then what honestly gets me is why ricers DONT get it painted? If I had a body kit to put on, id mount at the very last second? (apart from maybe mounting to see what itd look like) but i wouldnt drive around for months with it unpainted.
EDIT: and dont try to tell me they dont have money, i know they have tons from the hundreds of stolen DVD players from the hijacked trucks... A couple of Nissan SR20's would pull a premium one week before race wars.
my mate is painting my car for me he always fits first then paints later im going by his words this is the colour its going dont think anyone will like it but i do
