Default Got my new wheels, so I decided to go for a little photoshoot? (56k Negative)

First off, here are the wheels (I know my bumper has a gap, it's impossible to fix )




Here are some shots of my car and 98slvrcx's car




Aww, how cute








What do you think?

pictures turned out real good. we need more locations to take more sweet pics. My car (silver) needs a wash and some 205/50/15 tires , these 195/50's dont cut it. We got seperate themes going , black on black skamals , and silver on silver on mine. hope you like it!

BTW: the home depot lip looks very decent from a different angle
and I am thinking aobut painting my headlights black, how would that look on silver.

crisp pics...
correct me if im wrong, but you smoked your stock headlights, so the gap is not from the fittment of your lights; mind you if im wrong and you purchased aftermarket blacked lights then maybe...

as for your gap, what you mean impossible to fix? did you get a new fender? (accident?) or new (aftermarket) bumper?... explain more mang

nice wheels, to fix the bumper you should just take a bolt and drill a hole where the bumper is close to your light and bolt it to your fender. it should pull your bumper up and clear that gap up.

Ok, I'll try to explain the bumper gap to the best of my ability. Okay, first off, it's been there ever sense I got the car and it's on both sides, even before I painted the headlight housing. One of the problems are that I need to put the existing plastic washer that's already connected to the bumper, in line with the holes that are provided to me (off to the very end, Yellow), on the car. I need to put them in first, than I should be able to clip the bumper with the clip thats on the car (Blue). The problem with that is, is that it is very difficult to put the washer in first, because, thats what makes the gap, then I have to try to pull it up to the clip, which can't be done, well I did it once, but then the clip was actually being pulled by the bumper, and I still had the gap.
I like the idea of drilling the bumper, but that really would pretty impossible to do, to get mu hands under there, and do the drilling, then try to get both hands and tighten the bolt.


I'm open to any other ways you guys might have. Hope that explained it.

it looks to me like the fender is the problem. if you look the gap its also around the top of the headlight. so if the bumper was off wouldn't the top of the headlight where it meets the fender have an even gap?

you indicated that you purchased the car like that

--&gt; in my opinion, the car had a minor front accident (maybe) go to a local japanese parts dealer, or honda and get CERTIFIED honda fenders (both) and 99-00 front bumper... before you paint them, try to put it on your car... make sure all lines fit (hood, bumper...no gaps...etc.) i think that might be the best bet to get rid of that ugly gap....

other than that, your car loks sick mang
