Because you have the white rims, I think it looks good on your car. I like everything except the white grill surround. IMHO the grill surround would look better USB or black.

Doesn't look too bad. Give it some time and see if you still like it in a week. I like the white rims.

It's not bad but the the white grille is the first thing that catches people's attention. Might be because of the strong contrast of each color.

Emblems looks good though

Love the white wheels on blue

I have two cans of smoke Plastidip sitting at home. Once the black starts peeling or gets messed up for whatever reason, Im gonna try the smoke look on mine.

Not terrible, but cheapens our car a little bit. Think that belongs more in the civic crowd than the IS crowd.

Emblems work, the grill doesn't.
