Hey guys im Grant,

I have a 1ss l99 camaro with b&b exhaust/arh headers/RR tune currently cyber gray metallic and black stripes and im considering to powder coat my wheels with gloss and tint my windows like 25%. My question to you guys is should i do the emblems blacked out too? Or should i buy the black emblems from camaro or get my currrents ones done at a custom shop. Also, Im curious about tinting my tail lights, idk how dark I should go and was wondering if you guys had pics of any camaros with tinted tail lights/powder coated wheels/etc. Thanks everyone

Those flat black rims look amazing. I'm on the edge deciding if I want to do it or not. What were you quoted for perwheel if you don't mind me asking? A local shop around here quoted me at $150/wheel. I'm just trying to get an idea if thats a good price or if I'm getting suckerd.

dont get the headlight cover with the kit, i along with everyone else that i know who bought them leaves them off due to not being able to see at night. i can hook ya up with lens tint if you were looking at that as an option

$600 is a fair price for pc

gmag21 · 02-05-2010, 01:56 PM

The guy said hed powder coat all my wheels for $499 and he does a great job. u think i should go flat black or gloss on CGM?

gmag21 · 02-05-2010, 01:58 PM

I want dark tail lights but idk how dark I wanna go. would 20% be illegal on the tails, i wanna be really dark but still see the light. but if its to dark i dont want it to stand out against the CGM (tail lights)

Also, anyone know where I can get blacked out tail light surrounder thing haha. U know that crome peice that surrounds the tail light? :P

Downwithopp · 02-05-2010, 01:59 PM

Mine were 150/wheel before mounting and balancing. Unfortunately everything in California costs more :(. They did come out really nice though.

Edit: so no I dont think you are getting stiffed for the job.

Either will look really good. I don't really like super shiney rims to be honest, so I went with flat black after hating the stock color. Whichever you like more

lawdogg149 · 02-05-2010, 02:04 PM

I Got the wheels and tinted glass.

gmag21 · 02-05-2010, 02:06 PM

Damn are those flat black or glossy finish?

lawdogg149 · 02-05-2010, 02:08 PM

Flat texturized. Finish is like that of weight lifting equipment. $50 a wheel from my local powder coater.

gmag21 · 02-05-2010, 02:12 PM

Kool man, im gonna get mine done today or tomorrow. I gotta figure out the tinting tho haha.

Anyone know about the crome backlight piece to black it out?

gmag21 · 02-05-2010, 03:26 PM

Just placed an order on headlightarmor.com for the 30 percent medium smoked tail lights, good decision?
