Default 96 GSR wheels Painted black/gunmetal? Got a pic 4u2c

I have stock GSR wheels and was thinking of doing a similiar mod to my clear corners(tint) and wheels. I was thinking black or gunmetal. What do you think - which color ? - Pics of my car in sig.

Edit - this is GSRStilez car.

All im looking for is which color ... black like his or gunmetal. - after 13 posts no one has made a suggestion except how the car looks lol.

that **** looks straight. The front and rear lips are too much for me, though. I've always loved those side skirts.

That's my car..chemicalviper , I don't mind if you use it.


8400RPMS: First off, It's RPM, not RPMS. Second off, I don't think Phoenix Yellow is anything to go home and rave about. Third, the body kit looks a helluva lot better than most on the market. Tell me which part is fugly? Can you say MUGEN?

Those are wings west components aren't they. I highly doubt it's Mugen. But hey it looks pretty clean. Ever thought about going wingless?

They are Wings West yes, but a Mugen Design. Here are a couple pics of it currently. The ones with the stock black 15's up top are when it was off the road due to a rim change as well as a T1R Header Install.

Oh yeah. I will go wingless for winter along with taking off the kit for stock and plopping the 15" Black Stockers back on.

For now, the 18's compliment the sleek wing and shaved apperance quite well I think.

your car looks good IMHO but i bet the ride must be a tad harsh. With 18's and the drop. I recently raised my car a 3/4 inch and the improvement in ride was unbelieveable. I never drove my integra in the winter. Looks like your teg wont be doing much better in the snow either :D

That's not mugen design
Front lip = JDM Feel's lip
Sideskirts = Mugen design
Rear skirt= not mugen
spoiler = no mugen

I would say don't paint the rims or the tinit the corners, it looks too DIY. Just keep the stock rims clean, the 96 silver color of the rims looks really nice if they are clean

*edit, your car looks tyte, but i would loose the wing, rear skirt, and get clear or stock corners
