Ha ha! I have influence!!

So my girlfriend Julie has a 1995 Acura Integra. And it Used to look like this.....

Yes, it needed paint. The picture does not show just how PINK this red car used to be.



The problem was Julie did not want to pay for a complete color change so she had to decide on a red. She is not a huge fan of red. She got the book from the paint shop showing all the OEM colors available. I grabbed it from her and flipped from the Acura section straight to the Mazda section.

Yup, I talked her into painting the car Copper Red Metallic. She could not pick a red she liked so I showed her pics of the color and she liked it. The car came out great! It looks much better!

Sweet, now just slap some GSR blades on her and it will look great. You could probably get a set of GSR rims for $200.00.

I'm not sure what she paid for it.

Look how sexy that Winning Blue 8 looks. It's all, hey, look at me -- you don't even know what I am. I must be some sort of exotic piece of tail from overseas. That's right -- look how much better I look than all these cars around me.

^ i disagree. rims will be nice, but i think it also needs a subtle drop, maybe just an eibach prokit.

so anyway, again the color is very nice
