    Default EF with HX wheels!!!

    Here's my 1990 honda civic hb. It's got a ZC engine ...

    anyway, i just got these HX wheels on the car not too long ago and i love em'. With the Kuhmo tires they handle like a dream. I'm goign to be painting the front and rear bumpers, along w/ the side moldings black because they are starting to fade pretty bad.

    anyway, i was thinking about painting the wheels black. I've seen these rims done up come NICE colors (i'll post pic's).

    Leave em' or paint em'?

    i want to paint my hatch, but i'm starting to get the feeling that i really dont want to drop that much money into it because i really want to buy a newer civic (EX: 95+) and swap an H22 into it....

    But i'll be rollin in the hatch for another half a year to a year so i just want to do somethign to set it off for awhile. I'm thinkin the black looks good, but idk how it would look on my light blue ass car. lol

    Gunmetal with red H. How do you think the car would look with bumpers to match the paint? Then put in factory corners...

    bumpers to match the paint? i hope you're not talking about my light blue ass hatch, because that'd be uuuugly, lol. i'm thinkin bout just primer n' it and runnin it like that. I HATE the color of my hatch.... hate.

    but i'm defiantly going to paint the bumpers black and paint the rims black. i'm tryin to sell my hatch and buy like a 96-98 2 door civic and eventually swap an H22 into it.

    so buy my hatch

    hell yea, i love the white w/ red H.

    but that shit would look weird on a blue car.

    I think i'm either going to leave them stock or do black w/ a chrome lip.
