I didn't do it myself, it was done at the shop

But I think first they put small amounts of bondo to cover up any scratches or scrapes and... I dunno sand it? paint it? gloss?

Yeah the rim tape is orange. I was thinking about red, but everybody does red.
Plus all of our interior lights are orange + bumper lights and parking lights

I was considering dropping it, but
1) Im broke after buying my exhaust
2) It would look sexy, but angling would be a beach
3) Trying to save up for an Akebono big brake kit and I'm going to make that one orange

No offense takin

yea i just sold/shipped my TE/TA's yesterday lol
i only had them for like a month and a few days.
but the seller offered me $800 more then i originally paid
so i sold them

now im getting the 19" Volk TE37 Fzero Blue +12's that i think
will match the blue hue in my paint job pretty well.

thanks for the compliment on my G, it really has come a long way and
still lots more to do.

but OP have fun modding and just know it never stops!! haha

I think normally he makes 17" rim tape, I just PMed him asking him for 19 and he sent me an invoice. It was only like $2 more

haha and thanks everyone!

OEM- Dude I think that would look sick w/ the new TE37s. Let me know when you post some pics!

haha yeah man, I'm always thinking of things to do to the G and they hit me at the weirdest moments
