Noice! Good to know. I'm pretty handy so I'll probably try that. Was thinking about a sheet that laid over the entire surface area of the wheel. Shoot, those look a lot less complicated. Have you had any experience with removing/mounting/balancing your tires? The machine that most shops use to do this... I'd be afraid that it would destroy the vinyl around the edges and make you have to redo your wheels every time.
a few guys had theres going strong still on after 4 years

Does anyone else have any advice on the original post? @dldaves helped me out a lot with the wheels.

Going back to my original post does

Anyone know how that person accomplished the black trunk area on the car in the pics? I am really curious about this one.

Anyone have any advice a protective clear coat/spray/bra/whatever to help protect against rock chips and paint damage on the hood and front bumper?

Anyone else know about an alternative to the BMSpec spoiler extension? Something like it?

Cool, I did not realize that. I just googled 2017, 2018, and 2019 honda civic sport touring wheels. Most of the search results returned the standard black with chrome. Were the all black wheels an option or the standard?

That's really cool to hear. I was looking at the vinyl overlays from the link you sent me (thank you) and I was wondering if there is any difference in color or finish from the black area's on the wheel? Do the black colors match? if not, how noticeable is the difference?

Also, at the edge of the vinyl overlays that you sent a link of... can you see any slivers of silver? Or do the overlays cover the silver 100% and it looks seamless?

Thanks ahead of time as I am thinking that that it the route I would take. So much cheaper and if it looks good, why not?
