looks very saweet, get red lugs

IMO Blue lugs do NOT go well with the red A. Either make the A blue or change to a more complimentary color.

Black lugs will probably look good. Red A and stock lugs look alright tho.

Just go with the regular OEM lugs since it's just your winter rims.

i was thinking about doing the excact same thing, i just painted my brake calipers red the other weekend, deffinetly going with the red thing for the A (especially since its got no color as it is) and maybe some lug nuts. What did you paint the A with... please dont say paint...

i used a primer touch up paint then red civic touch up paint painted the A then cleaned the edges with paint thinner

I have blue touch-up paint for my TSX, and I wouldn't mind painting the A on my stock wheels either. I want wheels just can't afford them. How long does it take? and what kind of paint was the primer and how did you do it without painting outside of the A? Just a few questions because I am going to do it here in a week or so.

you may not need primer but i bought touch up paint primer from pepboys then red touch up paint from honda i needed primer cause the red from honda was thin. 1just clean area with soap and water. 2primer in the A then use paint thiner on a rag and hold the rag pulling it tight on the end of your pointer finger. wipe off the over paint. 3 paint in with color same way o cleaning extra paint off with paint thinner.

i say black

2K6TSX · 10-26-2009, 01:52 PM

I like the red A..I might do this if I keep rolling on stock wheels.. But I think the red, black or silver will all look better than that blue, but I'm leaning to black or silver.

molder · 10-26-2009, 02:59 PM

+1 on this. Really easy and I will be doing this sometime this week for an quick touch up! Gave you rep for the idea!

ricky rooster · 10-26-2009, 03:48 PM

thanks for everyones opinions btw it eaiser if you take the rim off the car a flat surfice will come out better with hand paint. I have painted my grill from chrome to white with the inside rubber black, my head lights from chrome to rubber black, my calipers black and now these. im now the king of tastefull (i think) PAINT city

RoyalTSX · 10-26-2009, 06:14 PM

my TSX is blue, and my calipers are blue, so why not paint the A blue .. will it really look bad? and what type of lugs are the blue lugs you tried out? because im looking to buy some but they seem a bit expensive
