IMHO G2 tegs look better w/ either 94-95 or 98-01 GS-R rims.

The seats are from a 96 GSR, I love the si wheels on a G2 and yes I know the bumper is a different color but its the only part of the car thats clean in the pic. the rest needs a wash. The lighting sucks cuz it was overcast when i took the pics. The side moldings may get some paint soon, im not sure. I kinda like the way they look with the hood and lip

yeah, the front looks different than the rest.

anyways, these pictures cant really explain the paint job. people are saying "wow tite", but i cant see any reflection, close ups of clear coat, etc. for all we know that could just be white primer.
