Still think you guys need center caps. Wheels just don't look complete. Not to mention, the amount of money these are actually worth. Its only right.

Appreciate the feedback bro! your car is coming along very well too are you repainting the lip yourself or going to a shop?

LOL... yeah I was debating on the center caps... but after looking at the ones I thought look good, the color didn't match well. The flat type Advan center caps aren't gloss black, its like a matte (sort of) finish, which stands out but didn't flow well together. The other types of center caps look awful IMO.

Hey Eric, ever think about taking the wheels off, cleaning out the area that the centre caps cover on your rotor (ie removing the rust) and then spraying a clear coat or clear plastidip or something over it and reinstalling the wheels? Should keep the rust away and make your wheels look even nicer without centre caps.

We already had that project last weekend. It worked on mine and it's very clean. I guess we'll be doing Eric's soon

Yea, the flat one looks the best. I don't they would look that bad. They are made for the rim afterall. lol

Thanks for the suggestion Dave. It definitley will be the cheaper route to go, but I was too lazy at the time to paint mine while gian was doing his.

Gian, I think I may need to paint mines soon, its an eye soar LOL. How's it holding up btw?

LOL... oh thats why. Will you be starting up another some time down the road? or it will just at meets? LOL.

Yeah they don't look bad, but in person and testing it out on the car, it looks out of place. The rims are dark gun metal with a gloss finish, but the center caps are pure black without a glossy finish. I technically could spray clear coat to give that shine, but don't want to ruin them if I were to sell them one day. Again, thats if I were go this route lol.

Mine's holding up real well. It looks much better and cleaner without the rust. Just pass by when you want to do yours since I still have the paint and brush.

So after much debate, I decided to go ahead with tinting my tail lights after all (also in time for Import Expo). Went to ReStyleIt (referred by Queue, thanks again), and their customer service was outstanding!!! They tested different shades and colors, pick the one I wanted and began the install. Went there expecting just my tail lights, but added the 3rd brake light, reflectors and side mirror markers for the same quoted price. +1 to ReStyleIt (Andre) and crew for a phenomenal job and would recommend them to anyone.

(crappy phone pics and looks better in person . Will have better pictures soon)

Thanks bro, the look and tint shade was exactly what I was looking for. There are some very minor bubbles/wrinkles, but the shop has mentioned to give it a few days and it should disappear. If not, they've asked me to go back and fix it properly.

Thanks bro! loving the look of it more now.

LOL... yeah, I find coils to be a little bit more work, unless your going for the super dropped look.
