Would you consider this tacky/ugly/ricey?

My freind just painted the front lip, side skirts, and rear lip of his red 99 SI white, to go with his white rims. Personally I think it looks pretty sweet, what do you guys think? Is it ricey or nice?

wow. with those white wipers and white window shield, i thought you would've gotten more responses. Personally i think the rims should be the only white stuff there, like what's her name with the red civic (the moderator i think). Maybe not ricey, but probably ugly.

It looks a whole lot better in person, the pictures really dont do it justice. But yeah, I agree, the banner and the wipers are a bit overkill on the white accents.

I agree with what they're saying about the rims being the only thing white, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it looks ricey.

I'm don't agree, I think that is quite nice. If he lost the white wipers and the banner on the windshield, that would be one of the nicest looking civics I've ever seen.

The band of white along the bottom works really well to break up an otherwise solid, and somewhat boring red. I think that If he goes with just the wheels and the band around the bottom that would be absolutely perfect.

ok first off, i dont like white rims so i'm already gonna call it ugly/rice. plus they are kinda funny looking rims (sorry just my opinion). i dont like different color body components (this excludes unpainted cf). the windsheild is disgusting. sorry, i thought honesty would be what you were looking for...i just dont like it ;/

What do you think of black HRE 545 rims with polished lip on a silver car? That's what I'm doing with my new Audi.

P.S. I'm selling my rims you see in the picture cause I've grown out of the look of my car and I don't think it looks good anymore.

yeah. tasteless. not matching. i don't like white rims on anything other than a white car also. REIN you should just powder coat your rims black or gunmetal. wouldn't it be cheaper and they are pretty tight rims

I pulled up behind a Blue Si on the highway. I saw it had a rear lip (rare because they dont make them anymore from Honda)

But it was painted white...I was like Why didnt he paint it. As I went around him I saw his side skirts were white and so was his front lip.

So in conclusion...not only is it ugly as hell its un origional...
