Paint it black and the Honda emblem red. By saying you live in westchester/bronx does that mean Pelham?

you should get a set of nice aftermarket springs after. that'll complete the stance.

The black looks pretty good but when they go to dismount and remount tires on them, they will scrape that paint up. Maybe I am wrong but usually things like this will chip easily especially once they put it on the machine to mount the tire JMO
