Only bad part about powder is you need the tire off the wheel. The paint you can do with the tire on. Those wheels are sweet though.

I'll have an AWD by next winter. My 2WD truck has pissed me off too much in the snow this year.

Actually the acura RSX is a little lower performance than its Honda counterpart, the honda integra type-r. In fact, Acura doesnt make a performance sport coupe anymore, while the RSX motor and drivetrain live on in the Civic SI.

Acura is Hondas luxury divison. Honda bikes are bulletproof. So are the cars. Subaru makes a good car as well, but my bet is that Acura lives longer than this WRX in the end :P

There was a guy on the Monster forum who did his bike high gloss black and managed to find a powder that matched Ducati's gold (like on the Tricolore) pretty well. If your powdercoater doesn't have a line on a decent gold, I can talk to this other cat.

That being said, I'm a huge fan of the mean-as-hell black on black look but you have to use it sparingly. I can't count the number of random Civics/Preludes/Jettas I've seen through the years with black paint and black aftermarket wheels. If you do it right it's dope. If you do it wrong it looks cheap, especially if the two blacks are just a shade off or are two different finishes.

my powdercoater has hundreds of powders

Besides that, if I can get the wheels I want, they come factory gold.

I will drive either car the same way.

However, the WRX will be making alot more power, hence, more wear.

i cant qoute ya word for word but the paraphrase would be.

"the tranny is good for 300hp. intake, exhaust and some programming will put me right in that ballpark so lets see what happens"

sound familiar?
