hey guys. i just updated my webpage on cardomain.com. check it out and let me know what you think

I like it... nice clean look.... the only thing I would suggest is that if you smoke those rear taillights I think it would really give a nice extra touch to it...

I think it looks like a mercury cougar the way u did those wheels...  i do like the tail lights tho thats a nice DIY mod...

Lookin' good!  I'm thinking of getting the new coupes.......

Cant hate the look of the 7th gen. VERY clean. What paint did you use for the calipers?

well when i first painted the rims i thouhg they looked alittle bit like the for gt rims for sum reason. but those are jsut pics. u gotta see them in first person they look alot better then stock. the black paint makeeach spoke seem slimmer, making look like 17 inch spokes. i luv them, and they make the rim shineee when it contrasts with the balck a silver. and the little lip around the rim also stands out more. its a great mod for about 40 bucks canadian.

to fenix: i used red caliper paint with a brush. no mess and easy to do. looks good when cleaned. but they do chip i should have baked it but didnt wanna tamper with the brakes. NOT YET ANYWAYS...

it looks really clean i like it i was honestly thinking about painting my rims like that too cause i have the same ones but i was told not to cause itll chip and look bad. are yours holding up? and what paint did you use on the rims?

nice ride,  how difficult was the engine swap?  You're the only person i've seen with a k24 swap.  Everyone else is still running on the stock 3.0sohc V6.  Your car looks awesome, way to make it stand out!!

i used tremclad rust inhibitive paint. i first cleaned up my rims using rubbing alcohol to remove all the dirt. i then taped them up and applied 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of tremclad clearcoat. because of the angles of the sides of the spokes they did chip but still look better then stock. and if u plan to use them as ur winter rims its a great mod...

really clean ride man! keep it up i like it

I just painted the rims black on my 98 eclipse! I taped up the lip and left it silver. A really cheap, easy mod you can do to any car that really changes the looks. Cost me about $25. I used universal metallic black paint and then I clear-coated them.

so jman it cost you $25 for metallic and clear coat all together?

Car looks good, I like the tailights just how they are it goes with the color of your calipers, kinda makes them stand out more.
