What to do, what to do.....

Guys what do you think.....

Keep on my Black 15" Integra Rims and get a CF hood and paint the grills on my WW kit black

or

Keep the grills silver, Get 16" Rota C8's in Silver with Falken Alzenis Tires

I am having second thoughts on getting a CF hood it may throw off the car Maybe I should just use the Integra wheels for the winter since I have all seasons on them .

This is how it looks with silver wheels. "Not the Rota's"

I would go for the silver wheels, it gives your car a fresh appearance. And the color of your car comes out better. But......that's my opinion

Yo dochkie, what's up! nice to see you here

I agree, I would go with the silver wheels.
The black wheels with the CF hood would look awesome but if I had to choose I'd go for the clean silver wheels.

Go with the Silver Eric, it suits the car a lot better. Personally, I'm not a fan of CF bonnets, the weight loss isn't really justified in a road going car and although it looks ok, I like the pure look of all one colour.

Just my 2c

I am all for the black wheels. I like the whole car to be black. If I ever figure out how to post pics you all can see my flat black baby.

Hey Eric,

Just thought I'd add my .02. I'd go with the black rims (which I eventually plan to do), but keep the hood you got. You see more CF hoods than ZC. As a matter of fact, I'm waitin' for the body shop to finish my stock hood so I can sell the CF hood. I like it. It looks nice, is really light & WAS different. Now EVERYONE has a damn CF hood. It's not unique anymore (at least here - which is pretty bad considering I'm in BFE :o ).

To this day I haven't seen a CF hood that fits perfect. I've got some good size gaps on the sides of mine & that's really the only thing I don't like about it. Plus the weight you save really doesn't help you much (maybe 10lbs?)....

Good luck with whatever you decide, man! I know it'll be phat!

Laterz,
CZ-R

i already told you what i thought. i really don't like those black rims on your car. i think it makes your car look dirty. don't take this the wrong way but i think your more of a "shiney" & "clean" person. i'd say "bling, bling" but i think we've pretty much stamped that on travis

maybe it's time for you to build a second civic with the black rims and CF hood. tell the woman you're building it for her *what a perfect excuse* :evillaugh

I voted for the black motif, but after seeing the silver wheels, I might have to change my mind. maybe instead of c8's, a silver wheel with a polished lip might even look better. I'm doing the black wheels thing (thats why I think it's cool), but your color looks better with the silver (my car is just the stock red). I was gonna get a CF hood because my hood is a little banged up, but I don't know if I really want one. I also wanted one so I could get the SiR cowl while fitting it to my stock front. decisions, decisions...

I somewhat like the black rims. but they just dont fit with you car. the silver looks a whole lot better. I have to agree with Ami, its just makes you car look a lil dirty, that glossy paint doesnt go well with the black rims.

Go for the clean silver!

I, too, much prefer the silver rims. I've never cared for black rims (no offense to any of the folks that have 'em) it's just not my taste. As for the hood, I would hang onto that ZC "bonnet" (LOL).

Regards,
