I think I would have done the black chrome look. Just my opinion. If you like it, go for it! At least you bought a instead of a honda

thank you all for the comments, support, and criticism. I have taken all your thoughts into consideration. Everything was spray painted. Everything can be reverse. I'm actually planning to spray paint my stock GTS wheel into chrome when I'm bored of these black/blue ones. I haven't spend more than two hundred dollars on these mods. I'm sorry for those who did not like the style and was even offended that I have 'destroyed' a perfectly new car. I thank you guys for understanding that it's my taste and style. When I was younger than I am now, these were all dreams i saw in movies that i made come true on my own car. Well anyways, still, if you guys have any questions as to any of the mods, I will be glad to help.

Looks cool, will it last? I would be worried next time you put a socket on the lugs it will scratch off, or the tip burn it off... Should consider doing a multi stage paint with a prime and a clear.

It will last for a while, at least 2-3 years. as for the lugs, the paint is terriblely scratched off when I put my wheels back on, but guess what, at a distance, it doesn't seem damage at all. :P

These are examples of what we'd call "non-constructive criticism." Or, to better put it in terms that can be understood, "being an immature hater." If you truly think that the only cars that are worth existing are the ones that look exactly how you like them to look, then you need to look into the concept of "keeping your opinion to yourself."

We all like to hear each other's opinions. But when your opinion is "your car should not exist," you're just wasting everyone's time.

you went a little over-board with the blue, but you went rice when you painted the exhaust tip

Did you use a high heat caliper paint? if not the paint will start to meld off and mess up your rotors. should have taken the calipers off and cleaned the up a bit before painting. exhaust tip?... Your probly getting a new exhaust soon anyways so what the hell. the pin strips on the wheels could be better. The "blue/chrome" is ok but the other "blue/tape" blue is idk?... maybe not so much. I've totaly had the spray can madness so i understand. some times you have to just put your hands up and just step away from the spray can. I like your drive, just not your direction.
Just my opinion. no flamming intended

IMO not a goos choice. The scuff plates look cool but all that other stuff, mainly the engine bay makes it look either ricey or a girls car...

The job on the wheels look nice but the blue is not working for me.

Complete black would have looked nice. Accent colors to the max make cars look girly man...
