^^^agree with the plate comment...could have found a plate re-locator and mounted it the right way...now it looks like something out of frankenstein...good choice on the sizing on the rim...what offset are they? just make sure you get them powdercoated and drop that sucker...lol
ive got a license plate kit thats automated by remote control...it hides it under the bumper and when you what it out it slides out...

A+ for taking the criticism like a man.
I think in gunmetal and with a drop, those wheels would look great. It looks like if you would have flipped the fogs over upside down they mimic the outer edge of the dummy opening. Maybe you can try that?!
About the plate...in FL we don't need em, thank goodness. honestly, if the car didn't have so much color going on, the cops might have not pulled you over and needed to find something to give you a ticket for.
The only other thing is the hood gap...I know the purpose, but man...talk about sacrificing form for function! You guys can't do the modified upper cowl (ultimate cooling mod for 3G)?
Just suggestions, like the directions you're going in (all?)...that's how we all start. Then you start honing in on what you dig and what you don't.

He has it, it's dope to I've seen it in person. you should get one Sway
OP: I'm going to be real. Your car looks like a Civic.
Fogs out of place
Gas cap out of place
Tow Hooks out of place
License Plate out of place
Then to top it off with the wheels. Car is not at the proper height to for that.
I remember when you first started on your car it didn't look bad, but right now ho lee fuck.
But if you like it, that's all that matters.

I'm loving what you've done with it. I have a '99 TL thats pretty beat up, but I love her to death. I don't drive it that much because I ride my bicycle everywhere, but when I do, it treats me like a king!! Clean ride man!!

thanks for the comments; as for the fogs.. i have them in place as to where they are because if you look closely at the driver side dummy hole.. there is a silver shimmer.. that is my filter for my icebox and my fogs will not fit in front of my filter because the filter takes up the whole space on the bottom there..
as for the Ultimate Cooling Mod i am VERY tempted to attempt and possibly be the first from a UA5 owner to do what the S2k guys have done to their hoods which is the vented hood.

$6 including the pins btw the frame for our hoods dont have that great of a design for a mod like that...been down that road...gave up on it when i saw what i had to work with...with your hood vented at the top as it is, all you would need is to make yourself a mesh grille...pleeenty of airflow after that...

I think ur car would look coo with out the:
-Bumper tap brackets ur using( i rather use zipties, atleast its a cleaner look)
-the front tow hook
-the licence plate (why did you use big bolts?)
- relocate it lower like under the front tow hook, but now your gonna have big hole where you put it now
-If you didnt space the hood
- If you went lower and fit those rims better...
- you have stretched tires but I think you should sit flush on them atleast...
but hey its ur car...

I cannot believe you drilled to mount your plate like that. The wheels look a lil better with the drop, although it needs more drop to really pull it off.
