Thanks!

O yea it is. Its just "test fitted" right now. Either tonight or tomorrow - or when I can get out without getting rained on I am going to take it off, actually paint it gloss black, clear coat it, and put it back on with the screws and double sided auto tape to pull the lip up some.

Re: AllGOnoSHOW's 02 accord coupe V6

the bronze looks pretty nice dude, helps the wheels stand out.

now did you paint them yourself? how long did it take? I like knowing the little details. :lawl:

also, rolling shots would be sick now!

Thanks - Yea rolling shots would be incredible lol.

I took the wheels off. Sanded the paint. BTW Since these wheels had been previously painted by me before they already were primered and black enameled by me. So I took the wheels off and sanded the enamel to make it very rough. Rubbed all the excess dust from sanding with acetone and a rag. Did the index card trick to make sure I did not overspray onto the tires. Got my Rustoleum metallic bronze paint - sprayed 3 coats - then sprayed 2 coats of wheel clear coat. lol. all in all I say it took about 2 hours give or take time for each wheel coat to dry.
