Talking w00t for new wheels! :D

Hot off the installation press! Had a buddy hook up the balancing and mounting of the tires (Falken Azenis Sports in 215/45 16 size) at his work, which is ironically a Ford dealership, but it's all good! Not to knock off Gossee's wheels, but I've had my eye on this style/color for a LONG time now. Here's the finished product...

The moudlings I'm not painting either. For one paint does NOT hold well to them. A paint shop told me this and they know what they are talking about. Normally they'd say "do it" knowing that it'll peel off and I'll go back to get it redone, them making MORE money off me, but the owner of the shop was looking out for my better interest.

B16 SiRII, they are "16 Rota Grids in Royal Black color, and wrapped in 215/45 16 Falken Azenis Sports tires.

LoL So when Honda painted them and put them on the Si they didnt know what they were doing huh

If you think BLACK on the front of a SILVER car looks good then whatever you think man...

Also the Blue logo adds to the rainbow theme you have going on...

At least the silver and black thing is going on all over the car. It's a good contrast. I didn't even notice the blue though.

Shows what you know. The real Si lip is the color of the car THROUGH out, so you wouldn't notice as much like you would with Krylon paint. Believe me, I've talked to body shop owners about this, and they would know as good as the manufacture about it. It's made that when it chips, it'll still remain the NORMAL color.

I could really care less if anyone hates it. I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it for ME! Could be worse, the lip could be white like the rear one I got is, that one I'm going to have painted though. Black is also a little more JDM like than painted. That's the theme of my car. And rainbow colors? What are you talking about? Silver and blue is the color scheme of my car. I don't see any red, or purple, or yellow or anything like that going on. No rainbows here. Can't count my suspension either, I didn't have a choice in the matter of colros there. And actually black DOES go with silver, actually pretty much ANY color except for a few will go with silver, think about your logic here.

LoL I was referring to the Blue H logo.

LOL So let me get this straight its the JDM theme. Blue H's arent JDM. You cant have it both ways. Have you painted your interior blue yet? I havent seen any JDM class car winners with blue logos, Blue Neons, and Blue painted interior parts yet but you may be the first

Funny...when I scuff my SI'S FRONT LIP it has black under it...weird...must have got a Lemon or something...

The parts are interchangeable my friend, they are all black and then they hit the body shop they become painted...maybe take it to a less lazy body shop...

LoL I dont care if he doesnt care what I think. I just wanted to make sure he realizes his car is not "JDM style" like he wants it to be.
