How can you not like these? ;D I do reckon they'd look good with colour coded centres though. Or would that be too much? Darren, I've tried to find a rolling pic or video but to no avail Anybody?

[PICTURE] Darren, I've tried to find a rolling pic or video but to no avail Anybody? Sorry, I meant camber, I like the wheels them selves, it's the silly angle they're at that puts me off. It's not the shape or style of the bumper I don't like. Its the way it's out of proportion with the rest of the back end. As for air ride making camber less of an issue? how's that gunna work? raising the cars ride height even right back to standard height might change the geometry, what? maybe 2 degrees? so it's still gunna be running 4-5deg and munching tyres like there's no tomorrow. On top of which the camber minus the tuck will look shocking! As I said though, I like the car otherwise, just those 2 points that put me off.

	Wow! As a general rule I don't like giving one car another badge/model face lift, but thats bloody good, so good it looks factory (like Coggers I'm not sure I know this Honda), and no where near as shonky as some of the old yesteryear custom medleys. pretty amazing work.
