LoL, I got them from Target 4 years ago. I masked off the fake 'chrome' lugs and rattle can blasted them white! Sadly, I get asked if they are 'rims' all the time, even with the monster cracks and missing sections. (just look at the passenger's side rear hubcap)

Thankfully, it retracts so that you can't when it's not in use.

Since it was sooo beautiful out today I got some ambition to work on it some more.
Here's what I got done:
-the front lip back on
-'installed' the RSX windshield nozzles easiest mod I've ever done!
-PWJDM bolts and dress up washers. Since 4 bolts snapped I had to drill out the stump with a 5mm drill bit and re-tap the hole with a M6x1.00. Also, a long while back I drilled out the 5 top bumper holes and replaced them with fat drywall screws since. Now, I'm fixing them properly with some helicoils. But tha'll have to wait for tomorrow.

So, tomorrow I hope to get the bumper screws done and maybe start on the bumper pole.
