I think it looks good.
And you're obviously pleased with it, so thats ALL that matters.
Now just get some of these... I'm getting them in Red or black.

I would use what automobile paint shop uses. Or simply ask a shop to do it.

^^Have you ever painted w/ spray cans before? It all depends if you think you could do a good job. I think anyone w/ a little skill could try this out. I'm going for it, but prolly flat black.
ElitecivicEX01, you seem really excited about how this job turned out..I think you've posted over 100 pics..
j/king..
You only need side skirts on that puppy now..

lol yeah...first digicam what can i say? heh. i love photography & cars. win-win situation. sorry every1 for all the pics. im just excited about my car. im loving the turnout over the past 3 years from stock to now. its nothing OUTRAGEOUS and i KNOW it...but im pleased with the turnout. its hard to have an "anti-rice" Civic these days...but its overjoying to work hard to stray from it and then receive compliments for your hard work.
as for the constant rim inquiries...im not a big fan of larger wheels, lips, polish this, offset that...my rims do me fine. they are a bitch to wash but i love them. and for the last time (LOL!) they are NOT stock. i had hubcaps once again & now i have 15" Si hatchback rims from my friend's 2003. so yeah. squash the beef on that. kthxbye.
thanks for the comments so far every1.

Rep Power: 247 damnn thats looks good! definately alot better than the stock color!
definately a good money saving mod!
only bad thing is it will most likely scratch off the paint when it comes time to new tires... but you just paint them again :-p

How do you hold up your entire car with one jackstand and then just leave one sitting there?
It looks much better with silver rims.
Sorry dude. Might look okay if you sanded them all down and repainted them.
