yes, yes, it will look 100% fine on a silver EJ. I've considered getting a set for mine to run in the winter.

I actually like your car, minus the eyebrows and the hood. Looks quite a bit like what I'm going for with mine. What's wrong with the wheels that are on it?

Also, just curious - why'd you paint all the moldings and sideskirts, but leave the mirrors black?

Those are just the colors they came in in the US. Canada and Australia got silver.

Europe got green too.

You could always make a replica out of either a US Si or a US EX.

A true replica of a European or Australian car would also have ABS btw. The Australian car wouldn't have a moonroof IIRC.
