Can you get more pics of the rims? First time I am seeing 07-08 rims painted. I like the trim.

Sorry man but the black+red theme is really played out these days. Especially on rims....and the interior trim kind of seems to make the car look cheap; like those civics and integras where people spray paint half the interior...

The black CF looks good..If you switch the red to silver or some other subtle color, it will look much better. I've always loved the black/silver theme our cars came with and I think it keeps it classy.

Why don't the side markers match? Gotta paint the lip spoiler, the roof spoiler is painted and doesn't match. Just remember less can be more on a car that comes nice.

i unno if its the angle of the pic or what but the spoiler looks out of place. It looks pushed up to the front too much. Would look better if u brought it more to the back and line it up against the edge of the trunk

sorry, not really feelings the painted stock wheels and your custom vinyl red cf center caps. also the red cf vinyl on the trunk trim looks funny too.

is that a OEM lip spoiler or ebay? to be honest, i don't know if its the way you installed it but it looks like you bought 2 roof spoilers and put one on the trunk

and like everyone else said, the red cf trim in the interior looks..... i don't even need to say it, you probably already get the drift.

but i DO like how you did the black carbon fiber vinyl to the other interior pieces. those look great

Wait...you use your DRL's and halos at the same time? Unless you have your DRL's on a custom toggle switch (which doesn't make sense either), you can't run them independently of each other. Kind of defeats the purpose of the halos, doesn't it? :shrugs:

Wilson, wow-you've got a lot going on here!

First, I don't think I've ever seen that "cracked" overlay-wild.
Second, the headlight upgrade looks great
Third, I'm a carbon fiber whore-you've got a LOT going on with it in the interior and trim piece above the glove box.
Fourth, you've carried your theme through on the outside really well with your wheel caps and license plate frame.

Also, in the lower right hand corner of each post, the middle icon is a multi-quote button. This allows you to reply to multiple people in one reply. Give it a try!

Wilson.... welcome to Azine...

couple pointers: mod the car for yourself and not to please the crowd....if you like multiple color CF....go for it....some might like it, some will hate it....bottom line being you will love it....

i mod my car the way i like....i dont care what people say....on the flip side i do realize am modding a $35K car....by modding it, you want it to look classier and not crazier by any way....

1> am not feeling the shattered glass headlight theme....looks too childish....
2> interior....its kinda busy but i does look cool (gotta admit)....
3> Angel eyes: in my books the angel eyes belong to BMW and the LEDs to Audi....you have an Acura....but i do like them on ur car....
4> I wish you would have done GLOSS black on the rims....i think they would have flowed better...

to each his own....i repeat: mod the car to your taste and not to what Azine says...

Well said Swoosh

I think that modding is all trial and error and in the end you will have a car that you feel great about

Such a shame to powdercoat such a beautiful set of wheels, but who knows....maybe it'll look good.

Not for me, but it's your car. Do what you like.

I suggest a nice drop before you put those RonJons on though.

You can. But first google "4x4 look."

I think if you're putting 19's on a car it looks better with a nice drop. Again....that's just my opinion.
