It's not loud..Just a bit deeper. It is noticeable though, especially when you remove the resonator as well.

The stock one is cooler, because it has an American Flag on it.

Nothing really new. Went back to the chrome headlamps. I like it better than my blacked out ones.

Nice! Looking at the pics, I like the all-chrome lights more too. Im not sure about the amber though, I probably wouldve yanked that out.

And your car looks on the 3G wheels.

Thanks. These are new headlamps. It's such a pain taking them apart so I'll most likely leave the amber. Still have the blacked out ones incase I want to switch it up.

Tried my work buddy's wheels on. That don't really look bad for 17s. I've been itching to change it up lately.




I'm going to paint my rims soon. Maybe back to stock or something crazy. What do you guys think

If you were to get a similar wheel to those, you'd have to run 18s. The design makes them look way too small.


Are your current wheels black or gunmetal? I dont think the stock bright silver would look right. I have them on my CL at the moment and hate how bright they are.

i think porsche started the colored rim movement, i've seen tons of civics, accords, subi, and vw with colors like orange, blue, green for rims and the cars vary from silver, back, blue, tan...i wouldn't do it, but i have seen a few that didn't look have bad.

i've always said its not what you do, its how you do it
