I could, but I would rather pick a set up so I don't have to worry about the paint or decal coming off.

Send them to me and I'll paint them for you. Lol. 3M vinyl wrap is also a good alternative.

I painted my stock ones and used a red H on the old Si. Didn't have any issues with the paint flaking, then again I wasn't removing the caps of the wheels much.

I removed the stock H, filled the holes with bondo and did a thin layer of bondo on the entire face of the cap. Sanded it all down and painted.

I also vinyl wrapped some Volk caps....way easier than paint, lol. Looked just as good.....

@Nix acquired the stock center caps with the wheels back in the fall.

I installed one of the new wheels/tires on a corner of the car. I was switching out the winter sets back to stock so I decided to see how one looked.

I like the location, out of the way of the other gauges, looks professional.

I put quick connects on every end so I could swap gauges easily if need be. The hardest part was extending both harnesses since I ran everything through the floor and fender well for a cleaner look. Haven't soldered in forever! Wrapped everything in heat shrink, and boy is that stuff expensive.

Day pic of how it looks?
 
Just put in a bumper screen and installed NRG Fender Washers in place of the plastic clips in the cooling plate. I painted the bumper screen red. Kinda hard to see but it was late and all I had was the garage lighting. Gonna paint the rail cover, fuse box cover and ecu cover tomorrow.Grill Guard.jpg
Also did the screen in the lower part but its such a small portion I couldn't get a decent pic with the light I had.
