Thank you, I used a G2 Brake Caliper paint. It's an epoxy paint that leaves a high gloss finish.

Rubber bands... that comment has me rolling lol! Thank you.

I don't like the color sometimes because I could fully detail it, and the very next day there is black tar down the sides. The car keeps me busy cleaning it.

Without the spacers, the wheels looked too sunken into the car. I had some help with parts for my valve cover... Ryan at AFHKparts.com (autofair honda) thank you sir! No one, IMO, can beat their prices for OEM parts.

Fenders have not been rolled, however I believe once I install a camber kit, I may need to roll them. The HFP wheel specs are 19x8 55 offset... I just clear the fenders by maybe 1/2" or less.

That should be a better view of the camber. I would like to correct it, with that done, I will rub on the fenders for sure.

Thank you. I had XXR 527s before and wanted real wheels this time around.
When I was detailing my car the other day I noticed ENKEI was stamped behind the spokes. Pretty neat.

Looks great! A little low for my taste though. Why 215 width tires? Seems a bit narrow?

Thank you. Why 215? Two reasons...
1) I bought the rims from someone and he had those already mounted.
2) The small size allows my tsx to get real low. I went too low and rubbed frame. Have since brought it back up a bit
