Probably 10%. For me, the offset is important. So if you go with 18s, make sure you push the wheel out to the edge of wheel well. 45 - 38mm max. You should be good with that. And thanks for the compliment!

Ethan, love the emblem. I have to do that for mine. I am on the same venture for my Civic. I thought I was almost done until I saw yours. How did you remove your Civic badge (dental floss)?
Unfortunately I tried taking the badge off myself, and it was a lot harder than just the dental floss I use most the time. The trunk has to be taken aprt, clips have to be broken and you have to buy new clips. Lucky for me, my girlfriend works at a Honda dealership and all of that was free to me! After that I sprayed the H emblem, gave it back, and they put it on for me. If they had not of done it for me, I am pretty sure I would have had a hard time.
Your car looks great by the way!

Sorry for the lack of progress. We are getting some crazy rain here in Roseburg, Oregon; and I don't want any problems with anything that I do on the car. I will make sure to get some work done on the next sunny day, or when I have a day to let it sit in the garage to dry.

Are black plastidipped rims in the future as well? Or just new black rims altogether?

I can't decide if I want to 'blue' or 'chrome' over the window dividers. I know they're going to fade eventually so I'd like to prevent that.

The plastidipped wheels will scratch. I would buy black wheels.

Minor set back. A peice of something got in my tacky dip on my driver side, had to start over. But! Coming along great. Any suggestions from the forum? It is a perfect day for a project here, was hoping to get a lot done. And thank you so much @Shnitzen Gruben !

Looks good! I think I realized what I might actually do. I don't like major modifications if I can help it, but filling in the the background on the logo blue might turn out really well on the front. Ideas....
