Need Help With Deciding

[VTECman113]

Alright, now that I have some money, I can finally make this thread. Basically, this thread consists of some Ideas that I'd like to get for my car and what I want it to look like. I want feedback from all of you on what I should do pertaining to the "exterior" of my car in particular due to it's certain color. I will provide you with pictures so that you know what you're dealing with.

First things first, I'm going to be painting my calipers a Darkish Red on Tuesday so I guess that's an exterior mod. Interior and exterior are pretty much bare stock as I bought the car used. No modifications as of yet.









What I was planning on doing is de-badging the "I-Vtec" stickers because I don't think you can do much with it on the color car that I have but I still want your input. I was planning on carbon fiber overlay hood & trunk and smoke out the taillights but I'm not sure.

It would look awesome with both carbon fiber hood and trunk overlay.

definitely paint the calipers man! a buddy and i did mine and they turned out great, love em! also if you want a slight interior mod, take off the lock nut of the stock shifter. you can then twist the knob down lower so you get a cleaner look imo.

btw love the hfp rims. wish i had gotten them for mine!

Honestly your car looks clean as is with the HFP lip kit. JDM emblems and red out tails would look much better then smoking them.

I think the carbon fiber wannabes are ricey too. The painted calipers will look good if done right and last a long time if cleaned and prepped properly. Here's a pic of what I did on my vette. Notice I only painted the caliper AND the front pad red (Duplicolor kit) and the caliper bracket black (BBQ grill paint), this gives the caliper a one piece look.-

How would I go about smoking the tailights? I also want to tint.

Don't paint your brakes. Rice imo. Get a BBK if you want color.

I'm all hopped up on Junk 2!!!

yup dont tint your lights. take off the ivtec stickers. tint your windows. add a mild drop

[fatnhappy]

lol hardly bone stock when it comes with the HFP lip kit AND the HFP wheels..if you dont want them, i'd be glad to take them off your hands (for a super cheap deal though) welcome! red tails and emblems + exhaust and performance mods should be your way to go..and a lowering spring maybe depending on your preference

Looking nice, like that grey color, not sure about those hfp rims tho

*UPDATE*

Calipers are now painted RED. Used Dupli-color to paint them, took the whole day. Pics up soon.

It will fade out. Lol. Should've used VHT.

[VTECman113]

How long will it take to fade out? I still have the can of VHT so I'm not really worried at all. It's still high-temperature resistant.

I'm thinking of painting the rims Black, do you think I should go for it?

I've used rustoleum to paint brake calipers and they turned out fine and lasted.

[VTECman113]

Even if they do fade, I'll just re-apply VHT. Do you think HFP rims would look good on my car if they were black?
