Cost for painting more DX...

Hey, I live in Canada, eh! I was wondering how much it usually costs up here to paint just the unpainted door handles on mirror on my DX. Also, white color rims go well with white? I think white on white looks pretty sweet, but I dunno, any opinions?

Thanks for all the help guys, I'm thinking of either sticking with white on white or maybe bronze/red on white with a polished lip. Sorry for the typos in my first post, I was kinda tired, lol. One more question guys, I only have enough money to get some rims, I won't be able to drop my car until quite a while. Would 17"s look alright on a 2k2 Civic that's not dropped?

17's with no drop looks kinda high depending on your tires, 205-40-17 have a pretty big gap but 215-45-17 don't look as bad.

Would 18x7.5 reduce more wheel gap?

Gunmetal with polished lip sounds very sweet. But still, someone answer my question, 18X7.5 with 215-45-17 wheels, would this setup be a little easier on the eyes?

yah 45's will leave a smaller gap, but the tire is a bit thicker...i wish i had gotten 40's, because my tires are too think in my opinion. Id say get 40's then just save for a drop.

Hmm, yeah, nice ride man. I don't know about dropping...I don't really want to sacrifice my comfortable ride just for the looks. I heard people complaining about the Teins and stuff, I dunno. I'm really trying to get a "dropped" look without having to drop. Unless, that is you guys can point me in the direction of some way of dropping and having the same or better smoothness as the factory suspension.

Btw, I'm planning on taking off my mudguards, good idea?

if u don't plan on dropping, keep the mudguards and paint em...if u think my car is dropped, it's not lol. of course if u plan on adding a bodykit, then u'd have to take off the mudguards.
