one quick pic

FG geek · 09-27-2007, 01:44 PM

painted the front calipers gold just to see what it looks like. Not sure if im going to keep them because it seems like too many colors. if i re-paint them, i think i'll just go for a greyish or black. also plan to re-paint the rims in the winter a different color. Most of all, she'll get a drop in the winter (most likely), because i need one asap. any comments welcomed (good/bad)

i demand to see the calipers closer, looks good, but give us a better picture.

FG geek · 09-27-2007, 05:14 PM

sorry, this is the only other pic i have at the moment and its almost like the first one. ill get some more if the cubs dont take the lead soon.

***WhiteSicivic06*** · 09-27-2007, 05:17 PM

It actually doesnt look that bad. Im surprised!

hoanger · 09-27-2007, 05:39 PM

^ agreed. I always said, if I had a full set of calipers I would paint them gold.. I love the look.
the wheels kind of throw it off though, however, still clean.

FG geek · 09-27-2007, 05:47 PM

^ thats what i was thinking before i did it. but eh, i did it for shets and giggles. didnt want to go red. i think it'll look a lot better after the drop. but anyways ran outside to take two while there was commercials. remember, i only painted the fronts. not sure if i want to match the back ones or paint them black. any more opinions/comments?

ozfizzle · 09-27-2007, 05:50 PM

your car looks very nice. where did you get the window vent visors from? i called a couple of places and they told me that honda does not make it for the 2 dr yet.

RSPjean · 09-27-2007, 05:51 PM

i think the gold calipers look awesome but the whole time attack thing is kinda played out but it still looks good man. i painted my rims bronze and i love em on my gg but didnt want bronze on bronze so i painted my calipers red

FG geek · 09-27-2007, 05:55 PM
