Default Painted my wheels, and got new tires

The fat fives before painting....

Then after on the car...


Universal Gold paint w/ Yokohama Advan A460's

And my new thin side moldings


And the reason for the OEM black hood is that my red one got damaged, and I'm ordering a CF hood next week.

Yeah I've always been not the biggest fan of the fat fives, but I got them for basically nothing (trading my 98 LS Webs) and they're growing on me, besides they're just to tide me over before my Work Emotion CR's come

As it says right above it.... my new thin side moldings that I just bought, not related to my wheels, I know, but they're brand new and I felt like throwing a pic of them in as well
