Hello gang, I have an '06 EX-P in Black. I would like to jazz it up somehow, perhaps those graphics that one can buy now, but I don't want to crap up a nice car. I also like the offroad look, and was wondering if anyone had changed to a more agressive tire that did not make you sorry you got it when you are on road...and does anyone have white letter tires??
Thanks!!
Chas

i dont have any ideas for paint, but I do have Cragar wheels, with white lettering on the tires...

wheels

Thanks Furious. Those Cragars remind me of the wheels I had on my 78 Scout. Looks like you have quite an offset there. How does it handle?

I think there have been a large handful of folks who have gone the off-road and tuner routes so you can get some pretty good ideas one way or the other.

BTW, what exit are you from? 7A myself.

it handles good, well to my liking. the only thing that Ive noticed, is on gravel roads, its feels like its "floating" .. I havent figured out what that is.

but soon I will have my suspension package, and hopefully I wont have to worry about that.

The cragars are 15x8, -12mm offset

mine feals like it's floating when ever it is off the pavement.

I'm concerned about messing it up too. but maybe by discussing it among the group, one can come up with some subtle changes that will not get old quick.

more graphix

Thanks Flatlander, That graphic was nice, but it seemed to represent a business, which I'm not looking to do. I also think I want to be a little more subtle.
Some thoughts:

1-I will be doing the dark grey masked off wheel paint like someone else recently posted
2-My favorite graphic is flames ala 'California Kid'. (I'm old :roll: )However, it seems a bit silly for an E
3-I was thinking of a fade or perspective graphic using the word Element that could be mounted to the lower side
4-Another thought is hood stripes like the Mini, perhaps continuing onto the roof
5-One more would be a graphic that follows the contour of the hood, resulting in a scoop effect.:?

The main reason I posted that link was because I believe she does graphics for a living. You might contact her with your ideas and maybe she could hook you up more reasonably than some of the local rip-off artists.
