What about powder coating the wheels gold or bright bronze metallic? Orange or blue AP1 wheels on a white body sounds very ricey.
hm....may be a championship white AP2 V1 WHEEL?

Sounds like something that wouldn't be very popular on this site.
hm....what would be a popular thread in this site?
a complete ASM,Mugen,J's racing build? or a massive money invest in a wide body kit with a turbo charger or supercharger?

would you mind to share your opinions and recommendations for my build about what bumper or what part to use?
thanks

guys...a lot of you said im wasting a lot of money...
do you mean the money in the respary?
since im rebuilding the car, the car is 50% stripped, so i got a good price from a well known body shop for the respary
and championship white is a great colour on the S and im fascinated with that colour~

The respray is a waste, imo, unless you really really want white. Color is not a big concern for me, though.

If youve got enough miles on your car that your body is shit, you most certainly should focus more on your drivetrain.

Well, there's a word for modifications that don't make the car go faster, but I'm not gonna say it.

If it's gonna increase your enjoyment of the car, go for it and don't let anyone bring you down.

Asthetic?

I don't think there's anything wrong with a respray, since the car is disassembled anyway and there isn't going to be much expense (from the sound of things). Kind of like adding side skirts, front lip, spoiler (not a functional wing), and other cometic parts.

Does sound like harrison1990 needs to be reeled in slightly from the over-the-top accents though. Keep in mind when designing and planning things to complement an already nice design, less is more.
