Carefull Rich, i've learned lately that nobody likes unsolicited asthetic advice :-)


p.s. Black and dark grey wheels, especially if you've still got stockers, are winners in my book.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. But the CYM pop ups look a little out of place against the carbon fiber hood. Maybe i should take a pole.


edit: on second thought, if you read my other thread...my headlights are the least of my worries right now....I think you're right though, pop-ups will look better.

The bodykit that is, not the car.

I agree. I think the only insets I kinda like are the c-west ones, but I could never bring myself to buy em. Pop-ups just look much cleaner (when down) IMO

I've never bought "RimZ" in my life... these came on my first car... and I though they were the greatest... SSR Integrals... showed off the (brake) rotors off nicely.... as well as the calipers....

and then I got the second one... BBS RS or something... and thought with the tinted windows, that that looked badass as well.... so it's all personal tatse...

I dont like anything chrome on a sports car, IMO chrome is the opposite of what sports cars are about. Kind of like how crome looks weird on sport bikes.

I powder coated my stock wheels semi-gloss black, have the tinted front marker lights, and dark tinted windows on my VR car.

My street wheels are still stock colored:
