There is an old saying, "if it doesn't go fast, chrome it".

i know its personally opinion but what do you guys think about the " blacked out look"

keep in mind i am 18 and still in high school...... so it might be a kid thing

I like the windows blacked out but not the rims, I think the polished rims look way better.

If you want the "blacked-out" look then the rims must be black!

^^^^^^

Now that looks good !!!! There is some Polish and Chrome to break up the black ..... Too me there is a thing as too much black ....

Michael_Js · 12-23-2009, 08:52 AM

I agree...I like a little contrast. I won't black out my wheels, but I do want some black, and maybe orange in them...Plus, all the tint is fairly light...

black is a high maintenance color for it to look good. i have owned dark colored cars before and man they were a pain to have looking clean. i would wash and wax the car, go inside for a break for an hour and there would be a thin coating of dust on it when i came back.....arrrrrrrgggggghhh.

having a solid black car takes away the definition of the lines of the car. my .02

Enjoy your ride

Tribone you are just a show off! LOL jk man, your car is sick

I wash my car 2 times a week, and wipe it down another 2-3 times with detailing spray. I decided to get the flat black powdercoating rather then the polished black on the rims to kind of break it up a bit. My brakelight bezels are flat black as well. The contrast between the polished and flat mixes it up a bit. Its a pain in the ass to keep clean, but its worth it IMO.

Other colors on the camaro just look to big to me, driving around SF/the bay area I only really like the dark colors on them.
