Octane Blue + Candy Lime Green

Detailed the Evo and took some decent shots tonight with my point-and-shoot, figured I'd post them up.

Disclaimer: yes, I know blue and green clash but I think this exact combo works well.

I just recently blacked out the headlights and chrome bits, so I figure I'd show that off as well.



















Engine bay accents are candy lime as well:



Dropped on Tein S.Techs, wheels are SSR GT7's forged in 19"

Not bad at all. Swap out the driver side fog light grill with the MR piece

Were the rims powder coated or painted? I love the candy green, excellent color. Not sure how I feel about it with blue though... What is the exact green?

YUK.

Not sure which is worse, the color, the color combination, the stance or the offset, nothing works.

Engine bay however works.

It's the same damn color in the engine bay. The wheels are +32 offset, what is wrong with that? I've got 20 mm spacers to make them flush. It's not like they're cheap knock-offs, I might as well make them work rather than just replace them. 2nd set of wheels are going to be iForged Neo's with polished lips and the same color centers.

Not really having any issues with the police... They're too busy pulling over riced out Honda trash with fart cans.

But you cannot see the engine bay whilst you are driving the car around!!!

20mm spacer all around? In the front 3/4 shot it looks like there is a ton of space between the outside of the tire and the fender.

People fit 18x10 +15's on these cars, I guess im just used to a wheel setup that fills out the fender more.
