For some reason, 17's look small haha. Maybe because it's stock height..

great choice in color. i'm also planning to go with white rims at some point, and it will probably stay stock height for a while so i'm glad you shared these pics.

the emblems will have to be clipped off using a wire cutter. there's a useful thread about how to replace the oem emblems with red type r emblems: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...m-emblems.html

get matching paint in an aerosol if you want the paint to match. not sure if there is enough contrast to show blue and black though. i used spray paint for plastics, like some people suggested.

prep the emblems before painting. i just sanded it down. for the fronts, you can paint right on the grill after masking. but i removed mine first to make it easier. the front grill is actually a lot easier to remove than i had originally thought. just need a flat head screwdriver to pull a few pins.
