It's true... I need both a drop and wheels. I'm just having a hard time burning $5000+. The reason being is that there is literally no return on it. It is not an investment, it is a waste of money. At the same time, the idea of sexing out my G is very alluring.

You can always add yellow calipers to the copper.

LOL, nope. It's horrid.

The copper lights have been swapped out for the shiny stock 05s. The copper Mt. Fugi on the black grille was swapped for the shiny shock one also.

The copper is gone.

I think swapping the amber for my clear corners, and some black wheels would have made it look better. I might attempt this again some day.

In the mean time, what color is next?

I think the best bet for the silver is a black and chrome mix...Its hard to make popping colors on a car so light.

You know what.. You should try "Crystal Blue Metallic". It's a silver color that has a blue sheen to it. It was a beautiful color on the 5th gen Preludes.

It is a color that really has to be seen in person though, pics don't do the blue tint justice. Best of both worlds? (near color match with the silver, and blue mixed in!)

Yeah, blue has to be next. Once the ice and snow melts I'll head out and see what I can find. Atlanta is shut down for at least the next day or two.

I agree with this. OP I give you credit for trying some new things, but unless you get some basic mods like rims and a drop, spray painting this and that wild colors is never going to look good. Wild only looks good when the rest of your car can back it up. Stock isn't going to cut it with the color schemes you're shooting for.
