Default Opinions needed!

So, Ive decided to Replicate the CR and turn my MY04 Suzuka blue/blue into one, Considering keeping the whole car Suzuka blue, or taking the hardtop and painted it white as well as the CR wheels and powercoating them white and painting the CR LIP and CR Spoiler Suzuka blue. Tell me what yall think or if it would look too tacky. Figured Id suggest something before I go all suzuka blue. Thanks for your opinions, flames and suggestions!!

I definetly wouldnt do the white, especially on the hardtop. It would look like you couldnt afford to paint it the right color . I think you should replicate the CR exactly, do a black (or even color matched would look good) hardtop, and get some of the gunmetal CR wheels. I always wanted to see a full CR in Suzuka, you should be the first.

i think you will be able to get away with white wheels on suzuka but a white ht would look terrible. good luck with ur project though

I wouldnt buy from hardtopguy, many people lately has had problems with them. I think vivid racing is now distributing OEM parts for good prices. Shoot them a PM and see what they can do for you.

Gunmetal looks good on Suzuka.

I bought a BB Hardtop for my SSM 04. Hardtop guy was on time, quality top and install, great to work with. I would call him legit and a suberb vendor.

Also that isn't the only thread i've seen bad things about them in. I wouldnt ever deal with them, I would try to just go to a local Honda dealer and see if you can get the parts you need through them. Keep posting in the WTB section and i'm sure you can find a few things you need.
