I think the stickers used to be behind the rear wheel, under the red reflector. I think I see a couple circular smudges there.
As for the rims, they look ok, but not my style. I like pure, elegant, clean lines, like SSR GT-1s. I hate rivets/screws on the rim, huge amounts of chrome and deepdish. In your case, I think the centercaps look too busy with a bunch of holes around their perimeter.

I like the whole package! Nice wheels and hood...in my humble opinion I like a carbon finish...why paint it...if your going to paint it get fiber glass if you like the look get carbon...I liked it way before it ever became "rice" and wont let stupid APC lovers (or haters) make me change my mind.

nice car man. i like it...but def. wanna see a front shot as well.
You read my mind - almost. I LOVE the SSR GT-1s, I just wish they made them wider and had the rivets. That's what's got me debating between the GT-1s and GT3s. GT3s come wider (10s) and have the rivets, but they don't come in 17s. Only 18s...so I'm havin a hard time choosin, cuz like Mahjik, I think 18s usually come off looking too large for the car...
I HATE raw CF hoods. I think that's incredibly rice. If you get a CF hood, either paint it a solid color, or get a real nice thick clearcoat on that thing...

I don't think CF hoods are rice. To me, they look like the owner went to the salvage yard to pick out a new hood but didn't have money to paint it. Looks tacky....

Those wheels look excelent on a FD. The gold ones are even nicer. The hood is tight but since you have a tan interior and red body, I woulda got fiberglass and painted it red. The wheels painted red would be bad *** to. The sticker on the hood is riceroni like a yellow H emblem.
