Prelude FTW! Welcome!

So you're wanting to paint your 16" "blades" black? If so you should put a red lip on it, I think it would look HOT!

you think? im not against it...but i was thinkin bout goin to a black and white "color theme" for the car. i dont have nething red...but i could get an emblem and have it like in my avatar with red lip and emblem then black and white the rest the ride...

Kinda like a cow? ..Or a zebra...or a panda?..and maybe even an Oreo.

I Like the black panda look for sure, but I think to offest it a little bit the red lip would look good. Its the slightest thing but makes the biggest change
