even though Dynamat Superlite did cross my mind, it defeats the purpose of why Honda omitted the sound deadening in the first place.

thanks for suggestions

update from body shop on Page 1...

getting ready for base coat, i also had the inner door cleaned of that sticky stuff and painted...also paint shop did a pretty good job matching the colour code (NH0)

[ruffnek]

When i painted my civic.... i made the straightner used the special tape that lifts the rubber around the front glass, so there was no paint edge, and a original look. like the never re-paint kinda look,
also i lifted the door strips off so the paint would not stick the strips to the door kinda look...
and same for the flare... afterward i lined the meeting of the flare to the bumper with black silicone, very neatly to give a original finish(looks like a rubber strip)

jus some advice, not telling you how to fix your own car

i know exactly what you are talking about. That paint edge you are speaking of irritates the crap out of me. Will be sure to prevent that. My painter knows exactly what i need done...money after.
Thanks for you suggestion.

Total respect goes out to you Reamos. Very perfect build so far, what you want, is what you will buy for the car. I am a true honda lover and boy you bringing the tears. Thumbs up to you bro. Well done.Keep the updates coming and picture.

Brand new B16B gearbox...excluding the casing.

i.e - mainshaft, countershaft, all gears 1-R, all synchros, all bearings, seals and rubbers etc...nothing was spared.

Guaranteed absolutely NO problems..
