    Thanks brotha! Btw whose RSX is that? Looks really clean, anymore pics?

    I used Duplicolor trim paint. Looks pretty close to factory paint.

    I know about time huh lol, I've always been wanting to do it just never got around to it. IDK why Toyota thought it would be a good idea to color match it. Never been a fan of tints actually. I like the fishbowl look.

    Still have these wheels, and so far I only got one offer. And it was a shitty one at best lol. Thinking of powdercoating the faces white and rocking them for a bit. Wish they were 16's..

    Nice dude, I thought you had an SI? All good, your car is still faster than mine lmao.

    Post some pics of the SI! I would polish them but my CCW's were polished. I had wheels that were white with a polished lip and I really liked that look.

    I'm still on the Kosei's. They're 16x7.5 +37. They fit perfectly fine without spacers. But I'm thinking of adding +25mm spacers for that 'hellaflush' look. :rofl:

    Feeling like I'm on cloud 9 today. First I get an email saying I'm accepted to Blox Evolution and then this package arrives at my doorstep when I was washing my car. Straight from the motherland, equipped with JDM newspaper and all lol. Fitment was spot on, can't beat OEM quality. Loving these window visors. BTW if you guys ever get a chance you should clay bar your cars. My paint was so shitty before, and now it shines pretty good in person. Especially after I buffed & waxed it.

    205/40/16's. Previous owner had 205/45's on them and I couldn't drive the car at all. :suspicious:

    Yeah I'm definitely going to hit it with a polish on my day off. Just ran out of time yesterday and I was super tired.




    Thank you bro, I love them so much.

    Will post pics of the prizm soon fellas. Today was a very busy day for me. Did oil changes on 5 cars today and got a chance to put the mud guards on prizm plus shorty antenna. Hopefully next weekend I will get a chance to replace the faded headlights with new ones plus give it a nice car wash it's been a long winter
