    I'm thinking abount painting my rims once I get new tires for them
    and the weather starts warming up.
    I did a few quick photo chops to give me an idea of what they'll look like.
    I'll more than likely go with a red or blue lip but I thought I'd throw a few more options in just to be different.
    The original

    Red
    legacy image
    Blue
    legacy image
    The other more "non-traditional" colors
    Green
    legacy image
    Orange
    legacy image
    Purple (Yes, purple)
    legacy image
    Yellow
    legacy image

    P.S. The car is slightly different now, I have the stock rear bumper and sides on and when I get around to putting the rims back on I'm gonna drop it a bit more, a little in the front and more in the back to level it out.:)

              I already see "No Paint" so maybe lazyness will win out and I won't paint them.

                  Do you have a close up of your mirrors?

                  Keep it polished!

                    Here's the exact mirrors I got. I had to get the universal ones and a seperate carbon fiber plate to cut my own adapters with because they don't make them for the accord any more.

                        No paint on the lip. If anything, I'd do the center.

                          Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
                          Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
                          Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
                          Torque is how far you take the wall with you

                                Don't paint them. All of the colors you listed look terribly out of place on the car.

                                  Leave it, but if u must paint it, the center or maybe even the lip painted the body color would look pretty good.
