My engine bay was always 30° cooler than any other Honda...proven by my infared thermometer.

There is no problem with big brakes on a stock master cylinder as long as you know how brakes operate. I had Porsche brakes with 15-20% larger rotors using a 100% stock Honda master cylinder...the exact same setup was run on the track for years with zero issues.

If the pedal is too hard or too soft when the stock master cylinder you can easily modify the length of the shaft going into the master cylinder to fix it. When doing e36 swaps in an e30 you use a e21 brake booster because its smaller allowing the engine to fit...the smaller booster my not be up to par for the larger brakes so the shaft is shortened giving the correct pedal feel...been done hundreds of times.

Unpainted carbon fiber IS for show. It's harder to maintain and clears don't protect it as well as paint does. On the other hand people add pearl and differant metallics to paints to give it a deeper, almost 3D effect...no different that unpainted carbon fiber.

Less weight equals better gas mileage, period. With the way gas prices are increasing weight savings is a big plus.

Hey I wasn't saying I disagree or agree with what I was listing - I was simply posting examples of topics that people can and will debate about all day long on the internet.

i think that painting rims doesnt make you have JDM wheel at all...who would think that in the first place...like everyone else had said some oem rims just look better in different color or at least in their eyes...

Rattle Can is cheap...

Aftermarket wheels are exponentially more expensive...

Sh!t... i have painted several sets of aftermarket wheels lol. As for painting stock wheels.... ummm yeah, i think it looks uber cheap...like purposefully "rocking" steel wheels.

I've already stated my position on this subject and quite frankly this issue has been beaten to death...

BUT just for you Wurm, let me put this in a way that even you can understand...

Say for instance you love snowboarding.....
You want to go but you cant afford to the proper equipment.i.e boards, bindings, etc...

So because your want to snowboard outweights your desire to do shiit the right way and save up the money to get the proper equipment, you rig up a contraption with a 2x4 and some work boots.......and so your need to snowboard is satisfied w/out you actually having spent the money to do it the right way.....

Moral of the story: You have to pay to play...If you want to modify your car, then take your time, save your money, and then get what you want as far as mods are concerned....
Not everyone has the money to blow on wheels right away but plenty of ppl save every dime they have to spare to reach their goals....What it all boils down to is having the discipline to work your ass off for what it is you want...
That's with anything in life....:goodjob:

I only read the first page of the thread but anyways painting rims and putting bodykits on without painting them is different from risking your life on 2x4's and work boots

Only those with POS cars are the ones getting offended at being called cheap. It's no different the "rocking" a black hood (glass or primer) on a car that's not black. Defending painted stock wheels is equivalent to pulling hub caps off steel wheels and calling it a "mod".

Or it's kinda like wanting a sport bike and all you have is a Katana. So you paint it to look like something else...but it's still clearly not.

LOL..

Here's the thing...I'm not saying that I don't understand that not everyone has the means to get what they want when they want it.....

What I am saying is that anything worth having is working for. There's no excuse for cheaping out with anything you do in life...if you want it bad enough, save your money, even if it takes you a year or however long...I know I would get more satisfaction from having worked my ass off to achieve a goal than to have taken the easy way out and done things half assed...

This is a big part of what's wrong with the current generation.

This is assuming that everyone with painted OE wheels wants fully forged racing wheels or any certain style "authentic" wheel, which believe it or not is not always the case.

I've got an example.

I had a daily driver EF hatch that had some 13'' steelies on them with crap tires. I wanted something a little nicer, so I found some badly painted OE Civic HX alloys with the intention of stripping them and repainting them myself.

I did just that and tried a nice Battleship Grey, then matte black.

In my case I had no desire for anything more than some light weight, cheap OE wheels. The paint that came on them was horrible, so I stripped and redid them. I wasn't trying to emulate any particular wheels, and I didn't think they were hot ****, or JDM, etc.

I'm just saying that some people want to change the look of their cars without spending any real money.

I guess the difference is that I have empathy for people who do budget-minded "mods." I'm not saying I'd do them myself or agree with them, but I understand where they're coming from.

Not trying to start something, but why do you care what others do to their cars? I mean why do all those ricers on buford highway put all those accessories on their cars? i dont like it but i'm not going to go out of my way to call them out.

yeah, it's sux that most ppl are cheap these days, prolly due to our economy! it's forced me to sell my volks to one of my bros for cheap, but if anything i was helping him out or visa versa.
but regardless of your bankroll, it's how you carry yourself. if you wanna look cheap, then i'm sorry to say that most other ppl will think that your cheap! if that wasn't your intension then try harder next time.
please don't misunderstand my statement. unfortunatley "judging a book by it's cover" is within all of us. if it wasn't then it would be one of those "very rare diseases", which i highly doubt that it is.
