The Most Beautiful 5th Gen Ever!

Well at least to me anyway. I recently stripped the wheels and added the high mount. Now to get rid of those dumb looking mirrors. Got a new digital camera and thought I would share some pics with you guys. The bike looks 4000 time better than with the black rims if you ask me.[image: gallery_5568_1417_238.jpg]

Wheels look great. fing02.gif

HEY! You stole my bike!!!

Oh, wait no. my wheels are painted sliver to match the forks and frame, not polished since i couldnt get all the black paint off.

As far as most beautiful, i have to argue, its not pearl orange, and no turbo.

Very much like the wheels... wish i had the confidence to strip mine and not make them fubar.

Yeah, I wonder why you would say that?!?!? goofy.gif

My dad's '96 red has the wheels stripped and it really shows off the fact it has a SSS really well.

I think if I painted it black with gold wheels (or bronze), it would be the shiznit, though! wheel.gif

What mirrors you gonna go with? Looks great BTW

Clean and mean. Noice!

Looks sweet Matt, make sure you keep them clean, or they get ugly fast! fing02.gif

SEBSPEED, May 10 2007, 11:09 PMLooks sweet Matt, make sure you keep them clean, or they get ugly fast!

Yeah, Ive been kinda worried about that since I stripped them. I know it doesnt take bare aluminum very long to start looking like crap. I most worried about them getting pitted.

O.k. well in the sake of holding strictly to the absolute truth and most factual information, I have decided to rename the thread:

"The Fastest Color VFR in the World, much faster than Yellow Ones" 491.gif

Bike looks great Matt! But.... I beg to differ with your "claim"

Now if I can just save up the money to: 1) do the headers and exhaust piping in ceramic black 2) get my ears trimmed 3) get the custom black/ghost red paint I want 3) powdercoat the wheels gold 4) rc51 forks etc., etc.... I might give a certain individual with a pearl orange 5th a run for the money(in the looks department). I don't have the ambition, technical capabilities, nor cajones to turbo my girl!

I like your bike tbay, but yeah, you need to black out those headers, better yet, just trade me, mine are black and I would like to have mine silver now. biggrin.gif

Did you paint your frame black?
