    I like it, but I think it's too much bronze.

    I am going to paint the letters and the fins I just havent decided what colors yet. Any ideas?

    As for the Honda Accord fitment. I would have to get the specs from the boxes. 19x8.5 and I think the B/S was All I can say is that after reading up about fitments I was worried Id be using spacers and all i can say is wow the fit was perfect. And I havent had any issues with wheel studs at all.

    Thanks for all the compliments too.

    Do you remember the name of the paint you used? or is it just a basic bronze?? trying to find a new colour to go with Dark Bronze Mist.

    If you lose the engine cover it'll look a lot better. IMO

    i like the idea of painting the engine cover black where it was red. other than that the only thing i really like that you did with the engine bay was painting the coil packs, i havent noticed too many ppl do it and i was thinking about doing it to mine too eventually, looks good with the red wires. definitly a clean looking car either way

    Right on, I tried a little bottle for some touching up and it was waaayy to light compared to the rest of my car (which is Dark Bronze Mist).

    How is the comparison with the paint you used?? might be the camera, but it looks a little light too.

    But prolly something Id try out...again, looks good.
