Thank you. Honda paint is kinda "sticky"... it's very easy to put light spidery swirls on them when applying and removing wax. And I think I did this on some parts of the front bonnet - just noticed it today and was cursing myself

Imagine if they added SHAWD as well. I would sell a few unnecessary organs to get one then.

If you don't like the look of the bonnet protector, and it isn't doing it's job, then slap a clear bra on there!

Amazing car, man. Tastefully done.

Sweet car dude.

If you rotary buff your car and some of the paint comes off on the buffing pad...doesn't that mean you went through the clear coat?

Needless to say, I hate you LOL. That looks awesome, GOOD JOB!!! Do you get any rubbing up front? That is the best offset I have ever seen, it fits perfect. I know Work custom makes their wheels for each application, so thats is bad ass.

wow how did I miss this thread. That is hands-down the nicest looking 2nd gen on here. Great taste on those rims.

Lip spoiler I'd say is a go but I'd do without the bonnet protector though.

Definately one bad ass TSX or Accord Euro, whatever you want to call it. I had the same wheels on my IS250. I do not get running a staggered setup though on a FWD car, it will just amplify the understeering tendencies this car already has.

Thanks heaps for the suggestion & I did look into it. I'm now considering this option - cost is approx $800 AUD to install 3M film over the front bonnet, guards and bumper + side mirrors. Good value IMO, just need to do a bit more research.

I don't think I've seen it being sold online, but I picked mine up from the dealership.

Thanks mate.
I was told the MR is a single stage paint - hence the bleeding of color onto the pads. The pads and compounds I use are not very abrasive, especially with an RO, so I doubt I'd be removing the clear off anything. :P

Thansks for the comments. My car isn't too filthy at any given time so I only ever catch real dirt under the sideskirts. Otherwise it's fairly smooth and clean.

Hate away - I lived a beggar-ly life just so I could get these wheels - they're impractical & have no real benefit but like most mods, it was mainly an emotional buy (I've wanted these wheels for ages)

I know where you're coming from regarding the staggered offset & I completely agree - its all about aesthetics for me and these are just pr0n. Thanks for your comments mate (please post pics of your IS250...I lubs em)

Thanks for the kind words, I actually decided against going for the lip spoiler & I took your advice about the bonnet protector - it is gooooooone!
The front end looks much better now and it's also easier to clean the bonnet during the weekly wash
