should look fine. the si trunk won't make as much of a difference as the extra large 16's.

Actually i've seen a few si owners swap, seeing that they wanted a more sleeper look. just have to look and wait for that.

you'd be surprised. unless your color is atomic or some other non Si color.

ex wheels + si wing. should be iite for now. since your slowly working you way up the mod chain, just save up for some wheels and rock what you have now

i mean cmon they started me off with steelies lol

I happen to like the EX wheels a lot....the Si wing however is a little to Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift for my taste.....I think that the wheels on the EX look plenty sporty enough to pull off an aggressive looking wing like the Si....

Why can't the factory match the color of the bumpers to the car?

cuz the metal parts of the car contain anti-corrosives from what i hear.
but not sure if its true. maybe the thickness of the paint makes the difference. like they put more layers of paint on the bumper than the metal parts of the car.. idk lol good question though!

Use the same paint and spray in on 4 different surfaces.

Paper, wood, plastic and metal.

Hold it against a light at different angles.

Depending on color, you will see a difference. Even with paint over it, different material reflect different light. And that's how our eyes filter it.

The bumper covers are different material than the rest of the car. They are not sheet metal like everything else.
