definitley red, and don't get rid of those racing harts either, they look good on your car.

streetAssasin96 · 11-23-2007, 03:18 PM

and if you get the hard top get an aftermarket cf one not the honda one because the window on the honda one looks dumb

I want white I think either way. I'd be happy with either. I think I like the way the mugen style hardtop looks from the side, but I like the way the oem hardtop looks from behind. I don't think this looks dumb

I actually think this looks kinda dumb, the way the rear part lays on the the car. Doesn't look like its as good as a fitment as the oem

Red's not an option. lolol, and if you like the racing harts so much, you should buy them

Anywho, I picked up white paint on the way home from getting the wheels. I'll paint them tomorrow and see how they turn out. If I dont like them Im going bronze.

I would, but staggered rims would look dumb on an integra and i can't afford a five lug swap

MissDSM · 11-25-2007, 09:01 PM

They're universal 4 and 5 lug ;) lolol.

Sorry for the cell phone pic but its all i have for now.

CarbonIS · 11-25-2007, 10:27 PM

looks awesome

ReVision · 11-25-2007, 11:11 PM

Very nice!

BTW....OEM Hardtop FTW,the others just don't look like they were even designed for the car.

GyrlSpeedRT · 11-27-2007, 09:41 PM

White is my favorite color so I'll say bronze, ha! No really, go with white. If you're going to use that "index card" I'm thinking of, you won't really have a problem with keeping them clean in the winter.

EDIT: seems like I'm a lil' late...anyways, the white looks good

MissDSM · 11-28-2007, 01:05 AM

Its been about 3 days. I washed my car today.... along with the wheels. I can already tell how annoying it is going to be to keep them clean. I thought there might be a chance they wouldnt be that bad. I was wrong. lol

jdm free · 11-29-2007, 05:34 PM

put a coat of wax on the wheels they should be easier to keep clean then

they look good in white

grimm · 11-29-2007, 05:38 PM

i like blue.

Snoozie · 11-29-2007, 05:40 PM

So you did paint them? We need better pictures! (unless you'll be at the meet tonight where I can check them out for myself

)

97TurboDSM · 12-01-2007, 06:07 AM

edit: i are too slow. white looks good

bmatyeah · 12-01-2007, 10:09 AM

It says you live in de, were you in pa?

I'm think i spotted you when i was headed back to lansdale from liquid powder coats with justinlansdale yesterday. I dont remember exactly where it was because i have never been on some of the roads. If it wasent you then damn iv never seen many s2k's white on white.

rocco · 12-01-2007, 11:35 AM

too late i guess i would have said bronze or something wild and glossy. white and gold are nice but not when its freezing outside and you wanna clean your wheels. the bronze would definately hide the fact that your wheels are dirty. but it doesnt really matter you already painted them and its only for the winter. good luck

PaleDSM · 12-01-2007, 11:51 AM

White on white is an awesome look. Lots of up keep but when clean they look awesome.

Wild colors just look silly to me. Never got on board with that recent craze.
