the ings look good on black, but I hate to say it though I think you were better off with the silver finish.

Man I don't know how you go through front bumpers so quick, i mean usually they at least take like 3 months to ship and get painted. Must have a nice plug.

Nice plug + luck = JDM parts fast!

The diamond cut finnish was very nice dont get me wrong... but 1) I was getting bored with it 2) I wanted a more distinct look

I thought about it... but gold lips would be too much for the eye?


Hmmm two negative comments to start out with... i told you guys its gonna be a very distinguished love or hate reaction for my wheels lol

Come on.... where are the JDM lovers? No love for the funky JDM D1 drift cars' colors?

They look good!
Now all you need is a little more blue to tie the whole car together. Changing the parking lights and getting blue bulbs on clear corners might do the trick. Also making the interior lighting color change mod would look awsome.

Woohoo.....a supporter!

I would probably not do it.... but rewrapping the interior with blue suede would be so hot......all the current tan colored parts in the interior

i like it!

agree with oreo about adding a lil more blue. gotta blend the color in.
they really stand out like "KA-BLAMM" since they're the only blue on the whole car.
but it's definitely distinct.

give me few weeks till we start the black on black thread. haha. i needa get some pics posted.

i've been thinking about either a slight tint or a faint blue smoke on the headlights for the longest time now.... but i dont really want to get too much attention from the popo so i think i'll have to scratch that idea... although it would look off the chain.....
