Coupe gets Aero, Paint And Coils!!!

[rc1honda]

Hello, this is the first whoring of my almost finished coupe. This has been a long hard struggle. But after 3 years the end is in sight. Bought the car in spring 08. Car had nothing. Stock everything and was in kinda bad condition. Only good thing was the lack of rust and a nice clean body and chassis. Unfortunately, I can't find any of me before pics.

So in the last 2 months after getting my car tuned over winter, I have had the car painted, and aero mounted. Then put the coils on. This is the end result. Also i would like to thanks Dabs and his brother, without whom none of this would have ever of come to fruition.

First the specs:
Paint, BMW Carbon Black code 416
Aero, Origin Stylish all around
Coils, Stance AL+
Wheels, Rays Gramlights 57c 18x9.5 +22 with a 3mm spacer up front to clear the coils.

Tell me what you guys think so far.











Now because of the time of day it was when the pics where taken I wasn't really able to capture true beauty of this color. For those who don't know Carbon Black was a limited BMW color that went on some E46's M3s and a select few 5 series and 7 series bimmers. This color looks jet black when seen at night, and then when in sunlight or passing light you see the blue pearl flake in it. A beautiful color in person. Very classy and very subtle.



Here is a pic that kinda shows the blue flake pearl in it. Look much better in direct sun and in person. Thanks again for any comments and/or suggestion you guys might have.

looks really good. I think the wheels set it off good. I like 5spokes with large gaps. Its like a women opening her legs to expose.... brakes

Your car looks horrible. Why don't you save yourself the emabarassment of driving it and just give it to me.

It does look sexy I dig the color choice.

Thx. Wheels were a tough choice for me. I like lippy wheels, but don't really like the stuffed under the fender look. Looks like the shoes are too big for the car. These wheels have about a 1 to 2 inch lip and still have a nice concave shaped when looking down the side. A good compromise.

Word to the wise. 9.5+22 doent fit the front of 240 very well. The coils kinda ate the inside if my wheels a little but. So I need to put a 3mm spacer up front
So the fronts are a tight fitted + 19. Tires are 225 40 18. I really am going try and get some more tire on the wheel. This car has no traction lol. 2 gear is pretty much useless. Might have to space everything out to make it happen.
