my experience with rims colour is, with small rim ilk e15" dark colour make it looks smaller
if you have huge rims, then maybe different.
the clearance between rims and fender or mudguard makes all different in appearance

crazyee,
when i think about it, it true what u said, darker colour will make the rims look smaller. i appreciate ur input bro. i'm now thinking of getting a 17'' lightweight rim. i like the work rezax. but i still have lotsa time to think about it as my tyres are still new.

Just want to do some minor bodywork & a fresh coat of paint for the body & rims..years of commuting by highway has taken its toll on the paint...
Are u planning to send your car to this shop?

still ntg has been done. the paint guy told me that my car, quite a lot of cement was used, so it needs to really dry properly before doing other things. i'm very impatient but at the same time i want him to do a good job. so told him to take his time, no hurry.
Mine is crystal white, not 2k white. so, the price should be ard the same. But i am not sure. my paint guy quoted a slightly cheaper price for the 2k white. its best that u check with ur paint guy.
as for the IM n TB, IM is intake manifold and TB is throttle body. I know that u surely know this but i think it did not strike to ur mind cuz v were all talking about paints and colours, so much so this IM n TB thing is like out of the topic. lol... i plan to do this once i get back my car.

CAR IS READY WITH LOTSA LOTSA PICS!!
Well, as i said earlier, i got my car on Saturday 24/9/11. What a relief.. Words just cant express how i feel. Late for a few reasons, 1st, i was too happy that i got my car and was driving around or looking at it most of the time. 2nd, it takes too long to upload the pics to photobucket. now that i finally found time and uploaded the pics, here they are.
taken on 23/9/11
parts were being put together
lights fixed
door trims waiting to go in as well
i saw this at the trunk, any idea what this is?
door trims are in
trims are gathered to be sprayed to give them a fresh look
the process of the trims being sprayed
almost done rear view
side mirrors being installed
side mirror installed - it has this two tone, crystal white and flat black, just love it
trunk looks nice and "clean" with anti rust
dont know what u call them but they are supposed to go to the trunk
head lamps are in
fixing the bumper now
new addition to my car
just before i left, they were looking for uneven surfaces and...
had to go as it was getting late. was just so excited. couldnt wait for the next day to come. had smtg to do in the morning. but as soon as i was done with that, rushed to the paint shop to take more pics and watch how they work. not to check how they work but just love to watch how it is done. so, here they are:
taken on 24/9/11
on my way to the shop, saw this car, nice plate
hope the owner doesnt mind
they were polishing
while i was there, noticed this Hyundai matrix had this in the engine bay. wonder what was that????
more polishing
late addition to the car, end result futher down
u know smtg, i was there quite often and was feeling smtg was missing that makes the car look blank, lifeless.. but couldnt figure out was it. until this... seriuosly i'm telling u, when this was fixed, it made me feel proud and good to be a honda owner. hehe. so i had to take 4 pics front and back
got ntg to say bout this cuz i dont think it helps in anyway unless if there's a box or smtg. can i get it anywhere?
another thing i realised about this jdm front db8 is that from the side view, it looks quite similar to Proton perdana. dunno why, maybe its just me. but with the spoiler, it tot it looks very much better and i love it.
spoiler going in
and its in, i must say here they were really careful in not damaging the paint here
checking my lights, tot they were working fine till i got home. had to DIY just now with the help of my neighbour. me alone equals zero diy. hehe. the signals were not working too.
car was being washed, getting closer for me to ride home in my db8 after bout 3 weeks
and this was the last minute addition. wat do u think? hehe.
in the mean time, i saw this at the shop. 1 of the conti i like.
whatever washing and cleaning were done as i went out to get some kuih and drinks for the ppl at the shop. a small token of appreciation as they were all working together to get my car ready as time was already 6 smtg. so no pics of the cleaning and wiping and all.
THEN, AT 7.15 P.M., MY CAR WAS READY!!!
here are the last few pics of the day taken at the shop.
noticed the masking tape on the windscreens? they're there to hold the rubber that was just silicone-d.
and i was off, driving proudly all the way from the paint shop to my houz as a proud owner of the car, satisfied with the job and praying for no more worries on the bodywork.
anyway, i still have to go back sometime this week to do some final touch up of the silicone on the windscreen. the rubber has shortened over time and so there is a small gab that needs to be silicone-d.
comments please.. what do you'll think?
also a few questions posted above, kindly advice
