u got any idea of what color im thinking either a gloss black or a pewter or a diff white i dotn really want any colors cause u either find the exact color u like or get a shade which makes it look sharp

a gloss color that matches the car would be cool :)

im thinking black with those little sparkles i guess it would be considerd metal flake but very fine metal flake thats kinda what im thinking then sum black rimes with a chrome well. hmm im just gonna have to steal the rims of my buds civic lol

and about rims and nice 4 lug ones out there ?

well personaly flake on an older honda dosent look to good i would go a solid black or or white i really like the stock white color or the color of legend masters hatch

if you want to paint the bumpers you need like a special primer if you want to lay down some real car paint to make it look like a LX, LX-I or SE-I bumpers. i was going to do that but its just better something to get them at the junkyard...i think it would be easyer for you to take them off the car....do it in a closed are like a garage. Sand them down with like 400 grit to get the scratches out and then use like a plastic promoter(it acts like primer) and then shoot some rattle can gloss black paint and they should look good

ya i was thinking of grabing those bumpers but by me the place i used to go for my car is bringing in new jap stuff so u cant find my year very well anymore

go with silver or white, i did black and unless you have a super clean/straight car to start with, it'll blow nads, you see EVERY indescrepdency (speeling?) and ugh, i'm not going black again it looks cool but is super high maintance, and i think a silver or white looks better anyways.
