I was thinking of getting white rims before but opted not to. Are they hard to keep clean??? I know after I changed to High Performace Ceramic brake pads my rims gots so dirty quick.

They definitely show up the dirt more than other colours!! Mine are pretty easy to clean because they're just 5 flat spokes, but still pretty bad. The pic is after a morning at the track, they were cleaned that morning.

And for all you rotary people, here's how we do it in NZ: video
NA 4-rotor, 590hp on pump gas, low 10's still street registered. Has now been painted black, had more development and is somewhere well into the 9's. I dare you to try find a better sounding rotary!

Looks good I just saw it but your hood looks like it's fading a bit. the color seems a tad off from the fender. It might just need a new coat of clear. I had the same color integra before and the hood did the same thing. Funny it was only the hood.

darn I was hoping no one would notice its that stupid hotttt beattinng burning FL Sunshine thats killing my hood. The hood. top/roof and the top of the trunk is fading but the sides and back and front bumper are still nice and redddd. I try to keep it that way. Cant really do much as far as paint job I prob. just take the hood off untill I can get a paint job and get a lame cf hood on it or something.

Better. Much, much better in real life. If the video was better quality you'd be able to see all the people blocking their ears, its nearly deafening!

Yea 5 flat spokes is easy to clean. My "web" style is a pain in the ass to clean.

Here's something that will depress you even more. Your paint color Milano Red costs approximately 30% more to paint because they have 3 different colors going in. Red, Pearl and Clear unlike mine which is only a base white and clear.

Carbon Fiber hoods are OK but if I ever put one on, I would have another layer of clear painted on it to help prevent scratches. Another thing to watch out for with CF Hoods is that they have a tendency of popping open at high speeds and smashing into your windshield. So it's recomended that you get hood pins but I think they are unsightly and kind of a pain in the ass to allign sometimes.

Yah I know, I dont really like them I just cant stand the faded hood. Hood pins are cheap here and I would def. get them just to be on the safe side. I would keep the orginal hood untill I get the car painted then put it back on. Some of my friends plus the bf are good with cars so not so worried about it going on right. If I repaint it I will most likely go thunderstorm grey b/c its cheaper, and thats the color I orgianlly wanted. I already had the colors quoted lol - just way to much for me right now. =]
