^ he said it was uncle's benz.

personally im not feelin it. the paint looks off and cheap. in some pics depending on how the sun hits it u can see that its darker in some areas. and in the 3rd pic the rims just like theyre covered by massive brake dust.

They are not bad. Just the 4x4 look and non tinted windows are throwing me off. After you do those two steps, the car would prob look pretty hot

Also, you may want to get them powder coated black, not to sure if the spray paint will stay on..

don't knock the spraypaint. if you take your time and do it right, it can look good.

Are you serious? Did you even look up the law before you took off your tint?

In California it's LEGAL to have ANY % tint on the 3 rear windows.

I saw a RSX at the Honda/Acura dealer here today with the stockies painted. It looked OK, but if you could reverse the Acura symbol where the outside is black and the inner portion silver then it would look better.

Not horrible, but lower that 4x4. I would also tape off the chrome window trim and make it black if you plan on keeping the wheels black.

Sorry man, not only are they stock. Black on black with stock is not right. It just looks like you have a LOT of brake dust on your wheels. Get rid of the black bro.
