It looks good. I'm actually trying to find a set of black for my 2.2, and I have, but I don't know what tires come with it, and I don't want some shitty ones.

Or if someone could point me to a site where they have decent to good rims with like Michelin Tires (or an equivalent) that would be helpful.

Decent rims + 5x110 bolt pattern = very hard to find

Yellow/Black is a good color pattern to go with... I say do it. Then get the carbon fiber wing center section from Gravana.

Do it! I think that looks SICK!
I'm thinking of doing it this winter when I put on my snows. That way if i mess up i have the whole winter to fix em.

Incase you didnt see the "How To" do that exact same thing.

Yes, I would keep the lip of it the stock color. I'm going to do it. This idea isn't mine either. There is a write up of it already.

Someone used my idea of the polished/chrome brake calipers taht I talked about liek 3 months ago. It looks sweet as hell.

Oh, and my brother is making his 2.2 into a show car. He's doing the whole interior. He's getting carbon fiber door inserts, painting the door panels yellow and black, etc. I will have updates on that if he goes through with it.
