Default from boring to bling- painted my rims *updated: more better pics*56k no way*

OEM GSR/2000 LS "Webs" Rims


1 Can Black $5
1 Can Red $5
1 Can Clear $5
2 Rolls Masking Tape $9
1 Roll Specialty Masking Tape $4
1(3pk) Metal Scuffing Pads $5


my car in the background, looking freshly jacked for its wheels



no pics of them on the car, cuz it got dark by the time they dried. but i'm very satisfied i'll snag a pic tomarrow..

also, i was working on my homies car earlier, and after a while of running, i guess something is fucked up. he said the engine like came on and it has a bouncing idle, like really fast. think the speed of a disconnected vaccuum hose, and double it. like up and down in a second or less. wtf is it? a coupe other guys said its the idle sesnor? but where the ---- is that and what would make it suddenly not work like that? OBD-1 B18A in EG Hatch (problem solved)

update as of this morning:
