As for the mouldings, I have no idea, the original owner was a 60yo lawyer, maybe he thought it would look good when he had it repainted

And the rims cost me about $550, with new tires all around, so they'll do for now, and besides that I like them.


I plan to do the 1jz swap first and a new clutch, coilovers, then some staggered 18"s

With the money you paid for those 'dubs' i would've gotten rid of the big dent.

+1 Put suspension on your wish list also along with removing those door moldings and your car would look much better. Good luck with your car and keep us posted on future mods

I love 20's but the car must be lowered..If you lower your car and add spacers... you will be on another level

The dent has been previously poorly repaired, knocking the dent out would knock out the ****ty body filler, then it would have to be refixed and repainted. And If I'm going to go through all that trouble fixing the dent, I would rather have the whole car resprayed another color also, which would end up costing me quite a bit more than my wheels did.

not a fan of the style of wheels on SC's, maybe a chrysler 300 but then 20's might be small for that lol..

I'm with milt though, what's up with that Integra door molding on the SC? lol

its def not integra molding, more like some generic fit molding thats been paint matched, lol. I dont want to pull it off, lord knows what would happen if i pulled it off now. Could pull the paint off the side, or maybe it was sprayed already on the car, and that would look even worse IMO

The wheels look cheap. That's the problem. Nicer set of 20", slammed, and take the molding off.

Take the trunk carpet out and rubber mallet that dent out! That's an easy fix.
