So I went and done did it anyways!! I plasti-dipped my wheels white. Everyone wanted to see what they'd look like and since I do plan on powder coating them In The spring I wanted to make sure all the colors I was thinking about had a fair chance. I must say I really do like the white but man does that brake dust really show up. I'd say the majority of my buddies like the white better than they have the black and OG gunmetal but the final choice will be tough. Maybe a pearl white with very small hints of orange in it. The color scheme will have my favorite burnt orange in it. Thoughts, critiques, or just plan rude...all are welcome here!!

Great info!! Minimual brake dust is a super plus!! I've noticed with white wheels the brake dust is ridiculous and that doesn't bode well for my cleanliness OCD level....I'm like Leo Decarpio in the Aviator I swear. Thanks Breeze

I actually dont like the white. I think something polished or machined would look best. And remove the headlight tint. Are those "Rockers" old lights?
Maybe even something like a transluscent copper or bronze might look neat. Check those out. There was a colour I saw called sunken treasure that was nuts

Yea I feel ya on the white now that I done went and did this!!
I took off all the plasti dip and went back to the OEM color. I also painted the lower part below the A to color match. Well it isn't a perfect match due to the car having probably a 3 stage paint job and the rattle can CGP is only 1 stage. It won't be as noticeable in the daylight. Polished or hyper silver wheels would really make it pop I think.

I was looking at the Miro Type 111's, I really like those. I think aspec will be next big purchase, does the type-s kit fit on a base? I just love how much more aggressive the S looks from the base.
As for the headlights they are just old, I painted the inside black and gunmaetal way back when I first got the car. I didn't know how sensitive the diffusers were and broke both of them, it's been super ugly ever since. I got 2 sets of old ambers diffusers from Jeremy (Rocker) that I'll put in this weekend. I also have a newer used set of plastic lens cover to replace the old smoky looking one's on there now. Should have some good pic updates this weekend.....if I don't get lazy of course

I know VisualEchos runs the Miro 111 or the 112 (I forget) on his, earlier in your thread i posted some shots of the CGP with different wheel colors - his was one of them.

yes the Type S does fit on the base, i have the base model and had no issues with getting the Type S kit on - the rear takes some slight modification - more or less cutting out the center and enlarging the exhaust ports - but it work In fact I couldn't find a base model a-spec kit for NBP only found it in the Type S kit - i ordered mines through Endless/Bruce.

ahahaha nice man, also jeremy is rockstar not rocker 
I think white wheels look good when its something with a polished lip like say the work vsxx but a normal spoked wheel with white plasti dip just looks dull to me theres no depth or substance to it .

Fudge - that looks sick! I'll retract my statement about the turn signal strips - its flows really well! The vsxx are a clean wheels, if I had the pockets though I would venture for the ryvers But like you sir, 2 kids, 5 animals, and a wife who is into essential oils and buys up bunches - i have to maintain the budget lol

looks good man - question - you painted the clear ring on the DRL that sits under the outer ring that was silver any reason for that? just curious. I think they look good man - anyone who is down to open headlights and mod them can do as good as JNC or Bruce imo...don't get me wrong, they do good work - but i think its mostly for people that are afraid to open them up.
Can't wait to see some shots of the whole car!

I hate doing headlights...I've done them probably 10 times and have made a different mistake each time. 
Looks awesome, man! I think the white is a very stark contrast which I'm not sure I love...but it is well done!
ROFL at your wife looking away...
I guess I'm lucky, my wife's only expensive hobby is trips to Target.
oh and candles.

I didn't think I liked the white at first either seeing them all separate but seeing them all together works well.
Are these the Yankee Candles we're talking about, or generics? them damn yankee candles can add up

bro...I don't know but they are $12 or more and she burns them all the fkng time! 
Yeah man...the tails are more of a challenge for sure. You'll knock it out...thanks btw...
I had so many different tails on the car.
Headlights, I got it down pretty perfectly at the end...but it took a lot of practice!
