Looks decent enough. I'm unsure what you mean by 'keep'ing it "Japanese-market" since you're in Tennessee though. What'd you end up doing with the previous valve cover - the one that was chipped/flaking paint? I like that design with the big Honda emblem a lot.

LOL. I agree, go twin loop . I would put it on some 15's or 16's and dump it though. Looks like your ready to go 4x4 on the rubicon trail. Otherwise it looks clean, i would put a mid wing on it and a lip kit, just keep it clean and simple.

build your car how you want man, everyone on here has an opinion, personally I would ditch the 17's in lieu of 15s or 16s but thats just me. You have to drive this thing none of us do so whatever you wanna do, do it...

I don't know who told you those were Racing Hart wheels, but they're not. Sorry to disappoint you.

First of all, a lot of center caps are swappable from wheel to wheel regardless of manufacturer. (Perfect example: I have test fit my SSR Reverse Mesh caps in my Work Ewing RS-Betas)

Secondly, Racing Hart never made that style of wheel.

Finally, it's spelled "Hart" not "Heart".
