Anyone else have that? Happened often in my last Accord. I think it's a Honda thing, lol. When it rains or is crazy humid out, the windows fog and won't unfog,lol.

So your defroster doesn't work? You have to turn the defroster either hot or cold doesn't really matter but make sure the a/c button is on. It removes condensation out of the air being defused clearing the windows up pretty quickly, without it on it will only make things worse and then slowly it will clear up.

Here's some close ups. The guy did a great job, especially for the time that he did it in. Best of all, no more white spots!

The lip kit is staying off the car for another week to let the paint set more. I didn't want to try flexing it quite yet.

It's works. Just there has been a time or two, in 2 years, where it's been extremely hot then becomes foggy outside. Turn on the AC and the windshield fogs. Turn it to heat and it clears up for a minute then fogs back up. I've even driven with the windows open and the windshield is still foggy, lol. Don't ask me how or why.

i hope the body shop did not use glaze on it to make the paint look perfect upon pick up, and then look like swirl galore after a couple washes later on. Btw, 1500 for all that work is a STEAL if the work quality is up to par.

paint looks awesome

i need to get my car recleared. i've got water etching all over it
OMG. Car looks soooo good Dillon. I wish I had a hookup like that, incredible.
I am jealous, $1500 is a steal. Washed my car today and noticed all the imperfections in the paint.
this deserves to be quoted onto the next page.
looks good!

Thanks everyone! I'm really happy with the results so far, can't wait to wax this thing.
Btw Dillon, I cannot emphasize enough...clearbra that front lip! ;)
Haha Chris, I really wish I could, but I used up all my extraneous funds for this paintjob. Maybe in the future, the guy saved enough paint for him to do some more work for me later if I need it.

I hope that's not the case. Where I'm at, there's a lot less shops and cars around, so most people can't afford to gain a bad rep. The family has had the shop for a long time, they have practically no overhead, and they really enjoy what they do. I trust that it's quality, and if it's not, they'll be hearing from me.

They also found my "Accord" emblem in the cupholder and assumed I wanted it back on the car. So now I guess I'll be re-badging the car to avoid scratching anything... which means ordering a new V6 :lawl:

Excellent paint job man. Makes me want to get mine done. But if I do it'll be a straight gloss black color. Nice price too. Every shop I went to said $2100+. Ugh...

Trying to break in my new front brakes. Hate the squeal that goes on when I'm driving and braking. Waiting to start buying the rest of my suspension set up. I need to update my MR thread with some pics and specs.

Same here. Tried everything and sometimes it works for a little sometimes not at all. But it was all on the outside. Just the name of the game driving at the beach I guess haha Although its still I pretty rare occasion for the moisture to be that high.
