Thanks mate. Just spotted that! Seems a good day out. I'll see if I can make it.

@ chrisr111 - I have replaced ALL exterior and most of the interior bulbs with LEDS so decided to change the 3rd brake light too.

I'll get some pic for you. It looks really great and I have always been a fan of LEDs.

@ chrispayze - No heat issues what so ever! I have only just got this car so not really got them hot but my other car has MKIV Supra calipers on it and they were painted in exactly the same way - no issues and they had had some heat through them!

I have also used Hammerite on all my previous cars and never had any heat issues.

Very nice combo you have there, but as mentioned, the badge is not my cup of tea.....

Im really sorry mate, but to me it looks like youve put alot of cheap tat, on a perfectley good car

Black wheels = Not for me thanks
Red Calipers = Too red, paint with a much darker red
Red Badges = Look cheap and tacky
Rear Spoiler = Needs spraying body coloured
Front Splitter = Wrong lip, its for a my99 - my03, looks odd
Gear Nob = Looks nice
Rear Light = Looks good and matches your rear lights

All this is just my opinion

2 things for me - f+r badges, and the carbon rear spoiler. not sure if it's the spoiler itself, or just that it's carbon, but it dont suit the car.

love the 3rd brake light though - very unique

Are you running wheel spacers? The rims seem to stick out more than mine?

Like the black rims though they look goooooood!

As blunt as JD's comments are, I have to agree with him

It's really the S badges on bonnet and wheels that spoil it for me.

Otherwise nice to see something a bit different.

Not bad. We all have slightly different tastes, so don't be put off by other peoples thoughts and comments

Personally I would have gone with matt black wheels and red Honda badges front and rear and matt black centres on the wheels, but then it's not my car
