+ CAR / status

Ok, the rim swap that I had mentioned a couple of weeks is now underway. The guy said that he is going to be looking for Si wheels, 2 front fenders, and a rear bumper for my car. I said that, if he can do that for me, the wheels on my car now, are his.

EXCITING? I thought so.

final idea concept (i know the color is a bit chromy looking, but this was a quicky job)

si wheels are very good looking temporary wheels, which could even work well being ur permanent ones. good decision to get the body work done. take before and after pics!

i would like them to be perm. wheels.
i want a cleaner look, but more stock...
does that make any sense?

like just a front lip, cf hood, goldish color paint, or flat black (professionally done), blacked out (oem) headlights, amber turn signals, powder coated (gunmetal or black) si wheels, and tinted windows.

cb7tuner has gotten to you! honestly tho... so many people who start spending time here end up pulling off their kits, blacking out their headlights, and getting a lip. its weird.

have u tried photoshopping what you want your car to look like? if so, post it up, i would like to see. from ur ideas, it sounds like a good plan.

working on a photoshop now.
where do i find pics of Si wheels?

cool. for wheel pics, i usually search both completed and active items on ebay motors, and also on OEM honda parts websites... heres a page with all the stock civic alloys, including the si rims: http://hubcaphaven.com/civic_wheels.htm

i was thinking of going with that dark blue... but midnighttunerx said we would have the same color cars... so i'm thinking of staying with the gold idea. steve can vouch for me on the gold color from a long time ago. also... steve, do you still have that photoshop of my car gold?

PLEASE help with he color decision!
I am desperate to make a decicision... i might be getting my painting done soon.

I'd definately go with the orange color scheme w/ black. It looks so fresh and so clean.
