[redpr5]

[mx-p5]

Looks good. But, what's on your headlights?

That would be vinyl eyelids.

More info on the rims, please....brand, offset and did you roll your fenders????

[zoomzone]

I see a lot of people put ugly, tacky, and gawdy wheels on their cars, but I have to say that those couldn't be a better match for that car.(stash)

What are they, and how much did you pay?

[slave600]

well first, the stuff on the headlights is a sheet of black 7 year vinyl i've had sitting in my shop for ever that i just put on to give the car an aggressive look.
second the rims are ICW osaka 18X7.5 ; 225/40/18 rims that i got off evilbay for 300.
and third, the ugly.... no the wheel wells aren't rolled and i'm pretty sure i'm gonna need to do it, since i get some scrub on the BIG potholes around the back roads i take often.
and lastly, thanx for the positive feedback. kinda makes me love this car more when ppl agree my tastes aren't crazy and i'm not a total "freakshow". but the attention is nice for all the right reasons.

There is a tool that does it. I believe most auto parts and performence shops rent them out

i have tein s techs with 18's and 35 series tires and dont rub, i was hoping to get 40 series tires without rolling the fenders but i guess not. Oh yea i love your rims they match the car perfect did you get wheels and tires for 300?

[slave600]

yes i i did get them for 300, but all 4 of them have curb rash, one is missing the cap, and 2 tires are on their way out, but i can afford to ride for a little while on them and switch out the whole lot for some 215/40/18's in a few months or whenever i find a really good deal on them.
great deal for me b/c i kinda have this philosophy about "cages" (what motorcyclists call cars/trucks). they should look pretty good at 10 feet away, and as long as they aren't falling apart they are ok in my book. oh, and contrasting color schemes add points, too!
now for bikes they are rolling works of art (minus most mass produced, falls apart under 25k miles, and general well...generic bikes). at 2 feet away they should still inspire u to consider stealing it for a joyride, but as u can tell i'm into bikes.... so i'm partial.
on the other hand i've desired an MP5 longer than ANY bike i've ever come across, so a special place resides for the MP5 in my "perfect" garage.

I like the wheels, the look pretty good on the P5, plus they show off the red brake calipers. And with the deal you got on them you can live with some curb rash. I do have to say that I am not a big fan of the vinyls on the headlights. Oh, and nice bikes.

[Sliver5]

Ain't that cute! Actually that looks like my Dad's old bike. Nice to see the classic honda's still alive.

I have a 71 CB750 with a big bore kit. :D

[DeanSweet]

a few honda fanatics out there would be pissed to see wht you are doing to it... looks like fun though.

[slave600]

I cant see the pics on the first page :( so I have no clue what the rims look like. I see your near charlotte if your ever near Raleigh I took my car to a body shop and had them use body shop tools to roll my fenders it gives you more of a bend then a roller would without the worry of creasing your fender with the fender roller.
