What i've been up to...
It's been crazy the last few weeks with finals and work but somehow I managed to get my car looking like I want it to. Started off by painting my 97 stock rims, I like the look of the rim without the centre cap and they look awesome in bronze.
I used the duplicolor wheel paint and I didn't sand my primer to give it a rough non-glossy finish. I did however polish the lip on the wheels by sanding off all of the paint. I added tunerlugs this afternoon that really change the look of the rim, they stick out alot more than the stock lugs and make it look less like the centrecaps are missing...
Coming back from the tire shop this morning...
Next up, I custom mounted my autometer c2 a/f gauge in place of my cig lighter,... I relocated the cig lighter to inside the pocket under my radio. It's a nice little mod
I painted my front bumpercover aswell because I had did a fast/crappy job painting it last year, this time it turned out pretty damn good except for the color being a shade darker...
I also installed my WW lip today, decided to keep it black so it flows well with the black lips on my car...
Next on the list is a new muffler, I want something that looks good and is not too expensive and especially not noisy. I've been looking into getting a stock RSX-S, S2000 or TSX muffler...
let me know what you think guys

Those pictures are sick...
I officially love your car...
I actually was thinking... I could do that or something similar and have those as my winter wheels and tires and then put the low-pro's and black on for summer...
Cuz IMO those look really really good....

funny i was thinking of taking off my covers as well. so whats involved step by step if i wanted to paint my rims?
btw, i saw our car (i have the green as well) with tint, and it wasn't all that flattering imo... but it was also bone stock
