If you didnt have altezzas and chrome wheelsId say leave it and get black headlight housings. But with the altezzas and chrome wheels you definetly should paint everything

I agree here, if you had black wheels and stock tails (or even SI or euro's) I'd say paint the rim of the grille red so the mesh is black, get black housing headlights and it'd look pretty alright. I'm probably one of the only ones but I'm not really against two tone at all. As long as it's done well and looks clean it's fine imo.

Most people don't do it right or try to pull if off with the wrong car tho.

If you did try the two tone thing I'd suggest repainting most of it anyway, most of the black you have on your car looks kinda worn out.

where can I get the paint to match? a Honda dealer or what? One of my friends dad has a body shop, so I'm sure i could get it all painted with just the price of paint. He also is a certified Honda business guy, so he can get 25 % off all honda stuff. So just talk to him about it?

Sounds like a plan.

I'd go for paint simply because your side skirts are looking a little aged. You'll love the look after it's all painted.

You got any future plans for the car? Suspension maybe?




Man, there's lots of lipkits going on now that winter is over. I love it.







Oh, and I guess everybody hates my two toned car. [>:]
