I was really bored this weekend, i'm in college and I dont drink, smoke, do drugs, or party, so there isn't a hell of alot for me to do. I needed something to occupy my time for this weekend.

I stripped my wheels a few months ago, i forget when, like march or april. I've been riding on bare aluminum ever since. Check my stip wheels project: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1226651

Thursday I looked at my bare aluminum silver slips... I said to myself "I'm going to paint these *****, even thou they look fine the way they are." Change is good I thought. I had Black before that. I wanted to polish the wheels but, i tried to do one wheel a few months ago and that **** was hard. So i just decided to go w/ gunmetal.

Ok, enough of the story, here are some pics of my unfinished job. Will finish it tomorrow and post pics.

This is how she used to look:

NO COMMENTS ON MY LIP, ITS GONE NOW, I KNOW IT LOOKS FUCKED UP IN THAT PIC. I hit a speed bump and I didn't realize it was so fucked up until after.

These are my stickers:


This is my car on jackstands in my apartment parking lot:



These are the two wheels I did today:


I took some pics of it with these on the back and the un-done ones on the front. BUT, i realized that i had no CF card in my camera when i took the pics, so they are lost.

 

Your lip is ummm..............its ummm..............oh wait.......

looking good. cant wait to see the finish shots!

 

can you not get oem VTi, SiR, SiRII front lips in the states? I think they look best, noticable enough, but not big enough to get damaged over speedbumps.

Example Picture of my old beater EG

Get more pics of the finished wheels

 

Looks good.
