DFW - got some questions

Rocktiger9 · 03-02-2008, 11:13 PM

Would it be bad/stupid to put a i-vtech sticker on my side of my car even tho it is a i-vtech but not a si?

Blacking out my car taken off the emblem except for the honda which Im painting black, know of where I can get some black rims? Has anyone just painting their stock ones black and did it look good,Im thinking just gonna have to buy new ones.

Thanks.

Kent did his stock wheels... he painted them NHBP to match the car... looked sharp. As a word of advice... do NOT black out you tail lights! It really makes you less visible to other drivers and even though it looks cool, your car would not look cool when it gets hit from behind.

For aftermarket wheels... check out Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack (tirerack.com)...

I have seen people put the i-VTEC SOHC on the R18 cars.... but I think it is a bit stupid... especially if your are going for the subtle all black look...

He's right about tinting tails.

Stock Si rims in black look good. So do time attacks in all black. The sticker wont be that great if you are going stealth. Red tails (stock) and red badges look good on a black car.

No I wasnt going to black out the tails, just get the darker lens
and try to take out the turn lens to clear it out the front, if I dont break anything

AEM or K&N cold air intake? cheaper? better?

Thanks

The tinted tails are what we are talking about... they are a VERY bad idea...

the tail light overlays aren't that bad compared to the tint spray like what i did with my car

All I know is if you put i-vtech on your car, I will point and laugh. It's i-vtec.

Yeah, I wish I had gotten to ride on the NHBP wheels for longer than three days...

Oh well... Life goes on.
