I need an opinion for rice or nice.

 

Replacing my wheel liner clips with rivet nuts and stainless bolts with dress up washers.

Those in red with stainless steel allen bolts in the middle on a black car along the edge of the wheel well where the black plastic clips would go. I feel like it might be rice if I do red, black could be OK, but the color probably won't matter because they'll get sand blasted by the sticky tires anyway lol.

$18!!!!
Here you can do a HPI check (effectively the same thing just not super detailed) for £7 ish

it was better than the normal price of $40, which I think is slightly ridiculous for a piece of paper that I look at once and never again.

I guess if I have to ask...

 

Or I'll do it anyway and see how good or bad it looks in person cause it's fairly cheap to try out and is something I've not seen before.

I've taken the door panels on my Celica apart to clean them like that before, looks amazing when they're actually completely clean like that and it's not that bad to do. I don't like the heat gun method to restore plastic color because it ruins the surface texture.

I think those would look better, less red and sticks up less but still some nice red accenting to match the rest of the small red accents around the car. I love having little details that go largely unnoticed.

Anything can look good if you throw money at it

It could look nice, it depends on how much light your wheel wells I guess? It’s a pretty cheap touch and potentially with the risk.

you can got to certain tracks like in california and rent pretty much any car you want there its like 500 dollars to rent them for the day but can only drive them on the track provided,and you get free lessons too so thats cool,some cars are more like the really fancy ones like the lambo aventador or the bugatti's. i plan on doing this some day!
