Default CW Type-R: Black wheels/white/cf hood or not?

Hi all,

I've just blown my cash on a Mugen intake + Toda Fightex coilovers (lovely btw). I've just about run out of cash for the moment but I'm considering painting my stockies (15inch Enkei) or perhaps buying a cf hood (A friend is selling one cheap) to tide me over in the meantime. I love a cf hood ona JDM front but it looks like a "lid" on the US/Aus spec front. I painted the mirrors black in the last one as I'm thinking of getting some Spoon mirrors too.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hiya - there was a CW R in front of me on my way home not more than an hour ago, and this morning I spotted another CW R coming from the opposite direction (this one had black wheels and a carbon fibre hood) <--- that one looked sweet!

So my vote's for the Blk rims + cf hood

I do not really feel a cb hood on a cw itr. I love it on the py Rs but on the cw the contrast
seems to be to hard, especially when you see the car from the front.

Looks kinda it has a big hole in the hood

dont bastardize those wheels, if you want some black wheels for your car get some diamond black ce28n's... leave your stock wheel color alone.

^ Agreed - don't ruin your stock ITR parts, find a safe place in the garage to store them. You'll come back to them in the future, believe me.

if you want something different i would try Gunmetal wheels with a polished lip..

That would definately do the cut...

And, a carbon fiber hood... mm..
