Hey man that car is looking good!! I only have one question for you though??? How come you only have the mudflaps on the rear? I personally dont like them but was just wondering why you had them like that? Ive actually never seen that done before.

Well if I could I would leave all of them on, they definitely help keep the sides of the car clean. However my front ones scraped all the time everywhere, so I had to take them off. I left the rears on, not just to keep the bumper somewhat clean, but also because I think it helps complete the rear wheel arch. If you notice the rear bumper does not extend down as low as the front bumper or the side skirts, and to me it looks wierd with just the bumper by itself. On 98-01 Integras, the rear pieces of the OEM kit extends it down some, but if you don't have that, or if you have the 94-97 rear bumper, the rear mudguards extend down and help complete the rear arch.

Nice! Patrick, 2 thing I'd do:
1)Paint your corners all amber!
2)Try to find an ITR lip.

2) I'd like some kind of front lip, but I scrape the bottom of the bumper on some inclines as it is already, so I don't know....

i used to have my 17z painted in duplicolor "smoke"...it was a lil darker than gunmetal. it looked good too..but just almost 2 weeks ago, i repainted all 4 rims (damn they took forever compared to what u have to do), the new color is called graphite by duplicolor "wheel paint"....IMO it looks so much better than the rest of the gunmetal/smoke colors, u should check it out. its got a reflective shine in it too

Damn you're digging up all these old threads.
Keep searching man, I've seen so many topics on painted wheels w/ a polished lip.
