I own a black 2007 EX and today I took the stock rims in to get powder coated gloss black. It's going to cost me $150. What do you think? good idea or bad idea?

 

Not bad for all 4

 

ya I thought so myself. I figured if it looks like **** its only $150 haha.

 

If its already in the process of being done, why are you still asking for an opinion? A 150 bucks isn't much but if you don't end up liking the overall product you could have put that quantity towards some other wheels. I don't know, just my .02.

Glendale AZ huh? I'm going to school there.

 

Yup, Glendale. I'm actually getting it done at Glendale Powder Coating. They have really good rates. I think wheels are way over priced new and if I were to put anything over $500 in parts on any car it would be my 68 camaro. I just wanted it to be a little different and see what people thought of the idea.

Are you going to UTI? I know they have a campus out here. I bought my Honda Ruckus from that honda motorcycle dealer down the street from it.

 

black stockers...how original?

 

Haven't seen it on any r18 civics yet

 

Already looked

 

150 for all 4 is good. the cheapest i've seen out here is 400 for all 4

 

That is a damn good price. I looked into it and settled on John Deere industrial paint. It has held up pretty good, no flaking after hitting some curbs anyway, lol.

I prefer a more flat black look. After seeing a post in the picture thread of a guy with an lx coupe with purple stock RSX wheels, I am thinking about changing the color up a bit/

 

I've seen neon green.

 

The worst ive seen wasnt on a civic but it was still bad. it was a 90 sumthing subaru wrx i see drivin round town everyonce in awhile. its a dark purple car with bright pink rims. and a dude drives it. its very odd.

 

hey dont make fun of my subie!! hahaha jk jk its not me..

but one of my friends has pink hid's. its very odd.

 

Are they like 25000k bulbs or something?

 

no. you can buy them in different colors.
his are 10k.
it messes up my eyes whenever i ride with him.
everyone elses lights look greenish yellow
