it was pretty easy. you just have to concentrate, cuz it just takes one slip to mess up ur hood. i used a dremel for the hole install. it spins fast enough to not crack the clear coats.

what kinda fogs are they and how do they work...any difference in visibility?

J Casanova 12-27-2007 10:20 PM

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!
 
my only advice is dont get colored lug nuts. i just really think that gaudy annodized lug nuts take away from the beauty of the rims...

OEM ebay with yellow lamin-x. you press a button and they magically turn on. does help in heavy rain and fog.

Wait, you have stock rims, you cant use aftermarket lugs. They are different shapes.

civicsrcool 12-28-2007 02:28 AM

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!
 
^^ you can still use it.

IMHO i think any type of "nice lug nut" would look fruity with a stock wheel.

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!
 
lol I agree civicsrcool(heh) I'm not really feeling the time attack style either :(

how is that rice :hithead:
I personally think its gona look cheesy as hell painted in time attack, but a flat black would be nice

i think that it'll look awesome painted time attack style :). it's gonna look sick.

NO, you cant. They are different shapes. Acorn shape as opposed to another shape..dammit i cant think about what the other shape is. I am 100% positive on this one.
Oh, ya dont paint em timeattack. maybe some rota slips, but no SI's

not tryin to be a douche but i beleive he already has aftermarket lugs on there. in one of his pics it shows a close up of the wheel and they look like their ones aftermarket to me :) i know you cant use aftermarket ones with stock steelies but maybe stock rims/alloys are a different idk
