Thanks for the compliments guys! It's funny... I've had a few people PM about buying the car. Only the wheels are going.

CarbonGS: Sadly, I am going with OEM wheels very soon.

ChrisES: I had Kreative Customs weld the stock holes. They grinded down the metal and did a bit of bondo work from the slight warpage from welding.

bighitbike: These are EXE Konvex wheels, 20x9 et35 and 20x10 et37.

CDW91: I think around $1750 w/ tires.

URDONE: Within the next week or so.

So many people have been telling me that the wheels look great on the car which makes me want to keep them even more. However, I usually commute (120 miles roundtrip) on the weekends to see my parents. I used to take my beater until it died on me. The cost of fixing > value of the car, so I may just donate the car or something. I'm making the switch to OEM wheels for commute purposes.

So the trunk was repainted, correct? I actually like how the stock spoiler goes with the LED tails.

ChrisES: Trunk holes were welded and the trunk lid was repainted. I actually don't like that look at all. It looked OK from the rear, but the side view was too distracting. That wing is too common with all Hondas, etc. I think wingless, or rear lip spoiler actually gives the car a more "updated" look.

LiLS: Yes, the wheels are silver w/ polished lips.
