I think I am going to do this. Do you have a How-To on how this can be done?

Looks good. I think it may look even better if the lip was left polished.

ill make a how to later tonight, if not saturday morning for sure. its not that hard.

basically, buy some scotch birite and go to work on scratching ur rims. then, clean them VERY good with a cleaner. then spray VERY light the first coat. dont be greedy or it WILL run or coagulate and look like shit. then do a few more coats. u can use a hair dryer and warm them up to help in drying between coats. i did 5 min intervals between coats using the hair dryer. then throw some clear on it at the end. a few coats will do.

thats the DIY in a nutshell. i post a better one when i get a chance. im not even at home right now so i dont have pics to back anything up.

The blades look great. Don't paint the centercaps.

man that looks sweet. I think the guy with the black integra had H decals made at a sticker shop. Just take your center cap to em and have them make u one in red. I like em better in red. Just makes em look more like the Type R's.
