IMO, it looks like someone stole your badge.

Hmmm not a fan of that, then again I am not a fan of that style stock grill anyways. I think the silver rings adds contrast. That's just my opinion tho. I have seen several people do this. I replaced mine with the caracter grill.

In process. I'm gonna clear the heads. Black the rears, black the rest of the badges, and find some other **** to paint black. Inner of my rims. ha. That one's a test, but I like it so far.

NO DO NOT PAINT THE RIMS. On stock rims it looks awful, no matter if its only part or what, unless they are the BBS RC's of course.

I'll be painting a set of fat 5's flat black in the spring. I have 2 sets now, so one will stay stock.

I think the grille looks good. If I didn't go the badgeless route, I would have done that.

I'm not gonna paint the whole rim. I have some removeable center ****, but it's not quite a cap. I already have them painted, and it looks decent, but different which is what I was going for in the first place. I want to do some stuff that is noticeable, and not too bad looking while keeping it my own original car.
