Re: My Ride
what the hell.. how do you get your driveway so perfect??? there isn't an ounce snow on it and the edges of the snow are perfectly straight!
anyways... those hubcaps actually look kinda sorta a little bit not like crap. Perhaps get some clearcoat on the tails? They look kind of dull compared with the rest of the car... the shiny black paint + dull black tails don't look good together
Also, if I were you, I'd get a Honda symbol or take the symbol out of your old grille and stick it on that aftermarket one.

yea i cracked 2 of my oem hubcaps after sliding into a curb so i took them off. my mom kept complaining that my car looked too bad without anything on the wheels. I stopped by pepboys and picked up the set and surprisingly enough they kinda dont look that bad. I still wish i had an actual set of rims but thats too much $ for me at this time.
as for the tails, i actually put a coat of clear coat on but for some reason i cant get them to shine up. I kinda like the no 'H' symbol too so im goin 2 leave it like that but thanks for your thoughts.

Looks sick dude. I think blacked out tail lights are dope and like the front without the "H". I think you should tint all the windows and have it straight murdered out. It'd look so tight

i went black with mine. its easy once you take the wheels off and use a rust remover first. then wipe everything down and spray with a good caliper paint.

mostly the same, some acidic type compound (usually phosphoric acid) that fizzes and takes off the rust. ive had good luck with rustoleum rust remover and naval jelly. if its really bad, it may require some scrubbing and multiple applications til all the rust is gone. but usually you just leave it on there for 5-10 mins, then rinse off with water.
