harsh crowd over at this place-j/k...

9d9GSR, i'm thinking about either painting those chrome thingies black or swapping them out for black rubber ones off an accord dx...

JaeOne3345, i know i know-the website's totally under construction and needed some temporary link buttoms for the moment...

tony4311, thanks i guess...

iLLestjr, you really think so..? i don't think it's that long... it's the GTS version which is shorter than the GTU by about 1 or 2 inches... i don't think the GTS can be compared to any of the massive APR GT or R-SPEC style wings... were you hoping for a Mini Drag or Drag Style wing..? if you can't tell that the kit has or hasn't been painted, then i guess i'll leave that up to you to decide by looking at the pics-

Naw I don't like any aluminum wings. But I can't tell if it was painted. Vision is bad...

If you like your care, leave it that way. Personally I'd just let it be, cuz thats what you like. There is nothing wrong with your window trim, isnt that how the car came? The car isn't bad at all.

Again, the wing ruins the whole look and respect for the car. Maybe some nice red/clear tails would look good.

sweet car, leave the wing on if you really like it. but personally I would take it off, but who cares about my opinion right?


oh yeah, put back your stock amber front bumper lenses and it will look 100x better.

VTEC CX, thanks-i guess thumbs up for the car and thumbs down for the wing... now only if they had a thumbs middle...

jmx2323, thanks-too bad my APR GTS wing is only 9 inches... now if i wanted more downforce, the Formula GT is 10 inches, GTU 11 inches, Racing Spec GT-I 13 inches, and Evolution GT-II 16 inches... but yea, some people like the wing-a lot don't... hehe...

iLLestjr, if you can't tell the difference then it doesn't matter if the kit is painted or not... now if i told it was painted, then you would be quiet... but if i told you it wasn't, you'd be like "aw dude... get it painted..! it looks fugly unpainted..." hehe...

DeLiRiOu5, since wings west urethane lip kits come in black and my car is black, it seems to look halfway decent... or at least 25% decent... but i am like everyone else and low on funds... i'll get it professionally painted when i have enough to repaint the whole car and get minor body work done...

backlash, Grimm, Archidictus & ViSH, thanks... let me guess-do you guys prefer the mugen/wings west flush mount wing instead..? seems like everyone says to get that wing or have no wing at all... what other suggestions would you have..? i'm not saying aluminum wings are better but any other wing out there on the market is also for show so what would you get..?

HYBRID THEORY, thanks for your comments... i was tired of the stock or "clean" look that everyone wants... i guess the chrome trim would look smoother if it was black like the rest of the car... the only other reason why i would replace it with the cheaper black rubber ones is cause a while back when the previous owner had the car, someone tried to break into the car and they put two dings into the chrome piece...

bigmouthcivic, thanks-finally two thumbs up instead of one... j/k...

99civicEXcoupe, thanks for the advice-i got one of them silver heat shields that goes under the windshield... does that count..? IMO, not tinting a car's windows makes it look cleaner...

blue95accord & vivid02, what respect or look does is the car supposed to have..? i'm trying to figure that out myself... everyone else has a right to deck out civics or integras, but when accords show any signs of being slightly extreme, people start shaking their heads in disapproval... those are the same people who will always consider the accord as an underdog or "family car" and keep it that way... i thought about the half red/clears but i heard they were shitty quality (which taillights aren't shitty quality..?) and they were discontinued... so i decided to have the o.e.m. ones customized...

Mooshu, i am gulity as charged...

Razor, thanks for your opinion... i listen to everyone's thoughts and suggestions but it doesn't mean i'm going to change the way the car looks so that they will like the car and i won't... if i had more money, i'd do more shiet to it ofcourse but for the moment, i wouldn't change the appearance of the car... i had the "stock" or "clean" look a while back but personally, it's pretty boring to look at... hehe-putting on the amber front bumper lens will not make them JDM Vision lens... that's just imitating the civics-

advancexgsr & toolowintegra, thanks-although they are the JDM style headlights they still look decent at a fraction of the cost...

MugenEF7, thanks for the overall thumbs up even though the wing sucks...

Rydaddy, i know i know-POS automagic... at least it's VTEC... what do you drive bro..?
