I mean appearance mods. Performance mods cant be played out...they are a must if you want a functional car for aggressive driving. Im all for a clean looking Honda, but all the forums are starting to get to uniform about THIS is how your car should look.

Yea i know what you mean... but idk if i totally agree... its all about your kinda style and creativeness. i mean, you can only do so much.... springs are springs... strut bars a strut bar... what do you think the way a honda "should" look according to ppls threads...

and IMO you have black.... then i would go ahead and clean off the rotors as well and paint those rusted spots as well.... makes the inside look alot cleaner when you look thru the wheels.
ya i actually wasnt gonna do red at all, cuz i thought it would be too much red. i decided at the last minute. i was gonna do all black. and idk how much of the rotor i could paint... u mean just the very top?

you can paint the whole rotor BUT DO NOT PAINT THE PART THE PAD TOUCHES.... those outer fins and the round flange where the wheels bolt to also since you see that 1-2inch rusted area.

just wanted to add... if you get a little bit of paint on the rotor's pad surface that's okay because it will just burn right off. I would try to avoid it as much as possible though.
