do not destroy a crx. painting your steels to match the car is pure mexican (mexican here so stfu) and painting the rear hatch is pure stupidity.

 

dont paint your stealies the same color of your car, leave them black. Or just paint them flat black again for a better finish

 

I second that. Painting your steelies to match the car is a mistake. It looks hideous except for black on black. There needs to be some contrast between the wheels and the body color.

Keep them black please. Painting them "navy blue-ish" would look ridiculously ugly imo

 

youre all prolly right.....but maybe a gunmetal black would look a tad bit better? And what about the hatch, ive heard of people doing it, but have never seen the pictures.....i am just looking for an overall clean look, so i'm prolly gonna paint the door handles and the mirrors.....

I have seen the hatch painted, and honestly it doesnt look bad at all. I still wouldnt do it but it looks better than what it sounds. But just do whatever you feel its your car and the way it looks shouldnt depend on what people think. Good Luck

 

man painting your wheels to match your car's paint...is like painting your dick to match the hair down there. like the guy said above, you need contrast.
furthermore...who wants paint on their lips?.
slurp slurp.

I usually never comment on aesthetic mods but here goes. Like everyone else says - don't paint the wheels! Unless you are gonna respray them black then don't do it. As for the hatch, if you're talking about the dot tinted middle section - don't paint that either! If you want to black it out, go to a sign shop and get some black vinyl to put over it from the inside. I've seen a few people do this and it doesn't look bad, plus it's not as permanent as paint. If you get sick of it, peel it off and you're back to stock.

 

good idea.........anyone have opinions about the gunmetal steelies? maybe a pic or two??

Go get some stock crx si wheels and paint them black.

 

i would.....but all my money right now is going towards my engine swap, so im not going to have any money to buy some wheels right now, hence i was looking for a quick fix to make them look somewhat decent.....any pics though?
