I'd lose the tape. It looks good without it. Either way works though.

like the wheels.
big fan of enkei myself.
heard you got a great deal on them, which is fantastic,
because they are nice looking for sure.

I am with the crowd on losing the red vinyl. I don't like it.
not on your car anyway, doesn't really fit it at all.
but the rims are great and look great without the stripe.

looks great! i love black wheel on a white TSX. i could do without the red tape, but they still look good. i just got some wheels for my PWP and had a tough time choosing between black and another color.... i went with the other color though.

awww... i actually think it looks OKAY for me tho... except, i didn't really stick them on REALLLY NICELY..

with total black on pwp.. like i mentioned in the other forum.. Isn't it look like those toyota's.. (people who took off their wheel cover to get the look of black rims?? i dun want to join them... =( )

and i didn't really get a good deal on the rims tho.. its just the price that everyone will get...

Nahhhh, don't think it would look like that. The cap would give away that you have rims.

What is the size on the rims anyway?

Did not see the red look funny but still nice with tape.

Your car's theme is starting to come alive slowly but surely, my only gripe is the size/width of the wheels...

the vinyl.. I got someone to do it for me. He's more specialize in it. It's a one piece. I didn't see how he did it tho.. I left my car there, went out for lunch, came back, my roof and trunk's almost done already.

But i've seen his product, the vinyl.. its hugh!! lol.

Unless your next planned mofidication is a stick-on hoodscoop, lose the red vinyl. That aside, the wheels and roof look good. I'm not sold on the trunk but it may fit better once you get a carbon hood.

haha.. i m actually thinking that i m done on the exterior.. and i m gonna start working on my interior (engine). i m losing all these HP's.. because of the heavier wheels.. I'll need those back.

As for CF hood, not sure if i m gonna get it tho. Cuz there's gonna be too much trouble.
If i order them, it will be sent to my body shop. they will put it on for me. THEN, i'll have to get a van to get my OEM hood home. And here's the problem, i dun think i have place for a OEM hood in my garage. i keep every OEM parts that i changed. I dun want to go through all the trouble buying all back when i m letting my sister take over my car. That's y my garage is kinda packed. THEN, My mum will start !%!#^!#%% at me.

OR, i see someone selling used CF hood around my area. but i doubt that tho. Cuz i dun think anyone around my place has it. @@

i kept the red vinyl cuz i wanted to let it match up with my red caliper... red tailight. @@ (not planning to black out the tail lights. i dun want people kissing my ass because they can't see me braking under bright sunlight.)
