The hood stripes match well with the canards! I would paint the Tow hook plate Black.

Wheels do look better painted. I think the canards are a bit much as well as the hood stripes. Also, where is the grill?

too expensive of a car and front bumper for such cheap rims.

lol thanks guys for the compliments. I bought the car with these rims. I'm not the type of person that will pay 2-4k for rims alone. I don't see the justice sorry. I spent over 6k in mods to the car including a supercharger instead lol. but Ya to me the rims were O.K and they needed to be refinished anyway so i thought why not have em painted?

as for the grill anyone know where i can get one lol? Wasn't to sure about that, I bought this bumper locally because my mother in law put her hitch in my oem bumper lol...

Were you able to cancel the order the other day for that gauge?

How's the rest of the work going?

I under stand you buy wheel logic. But there are a good hand-full of wheels out there that arent uber exspnsive and look 200x better than those you just have to looks around.

No one said you had to buy Volks or pure 100% expensive JDM wheels.

thats why i suggest the rotas. They fairly cheap and look just like the Nismo rims. If not a lil better.....
