nozaholic,

Aloha and welcome to NAM.

Very sharp PW/PW MC with Stripes, sunroof, NAV and nice black/polished rim 18" wheels.

You might notice that the stock wheels are extremely light but don't corner that well while the 18" rims are quite heavy (look great) but do corner well.
Everything is a compromise.

Wow - what a cutie! Take that to the snow and it would really hurt your eyes! Those rims are gonna look great, too.

But I'm not sure about the license plate. Is that "rice ball"? Did you transfer it from a Honda or something?
