What I was thinking, all about preparation. Found a "how to" online where someone painted their Vette rims with tires on. Theirs looked really nice. Going to follow their step by step. Being OCD also helps in these cases I guess.

NOS stickers. And manufacturer banners.

Hey guy with the Civic. We understood it was Honda before you spray-painted the "H" logo on the hood and roof. Then you put a "HONDA" vinyl across your windshield, and "H" logo on your back window. We get it, it's still a stock Honda. Mighty D-series power.

I agree with you and Kurt - it's all in the prep work. I had months to strip, sand, and paint my tC wheels but if I had to do them while on the car I'd make sure to mask them, use index cards inserted between the rim and tire to prevent overspray, and use nice even coats without a ton of runoff.

^ Or, do it the easy way and spray the wheels flat black, that way, no need to mask off the tire. Although why somebody would paint their wheels while on the car is a bit beyond my reasoning.

My pet peeves include people who don't use correct syntax for their peeves, along with terrible exhaust mods - you guys know what those are.

I'll take the wheels off the car, so I can paint all of the rim not covered by tire. Just not taking the tire off the rim. Thinking can get two at a time. Have a floor jack and two stands. Hmm, back on topic eh....

Cheap aftermarket HID kits.

I have 3 decals across the top of my hatch glass. K&N, Dampachi, and Pikachu. Not too bad. They're also lined up and spaced evenly in accordance with the center of the hatch. Thank you OCD.

people who put trd stickers on stuff that is clearly not trd. oh wait nvm

I am guilty of a few, I have a big shiny muffler on stock exhaust, my kids liked it.lol
I have a big spoiler on a fwd car, I can assure you, downforce for high speed cornering, is still down force
regardless of where the power comes from.

I have had people give me the thumbs up while simply driving down the highway, I have had others point
at my spoiler and laugh. I get "nice supra" more than "nice celica" which tells me the average joe knows squat.
I think location has as much to do with what is "cool" as anything else. People who slam their cars around here are
laughed at, other places it is all the rage. Who is to say what is cool and what is not, it is your car, do what you like,
if the haters can't deal fu#kem.

WOW, I mean Japan is awesome and everything(believe me, I lived there) but Honda is nothing out there. Its all about Toyota, Nissan(not the Skyline), and Subaru. Oh and Mitsubishi, but only the evo's
