Beautiful color. What is it? I am working on the 04 RSX and want to paint it a similar color. I have some nail polish to try but I like the shade of yours. I'm not sure if I'd paint the hood black or not. You have done some fantastic work on this.

that because I don't know anything about the

real cars. But I like to look at them!
