Subtle suggestion: why not change the hockey stripes to repeat the theme you have on the dark part of your wheels?

PeeBee - I actually considered something like that, but I'm not sure about it. I have always wanted to do a two tone paint scheme. The top all black and the lower half a nice blue with black ground effects and a red 1/2" stripe between the two colors. Maybe carbon fiber ground effects would be a nice addition?

Nice touch!

I disagree when it's at a show n shine it WILL BE NOTICED! I always look for the little things that make a car unique and that definately fits the bill. Super sweet looks awesome!

jhyland87 · 03-13-2012, 01:15 AM

so they look awesome.. but from any further than 10 feet away... they probably look just like they were before... :-\

Ivan @ Southwest Speed · 03-13-2012, 10:50 AM

Woah!!!! This is awesome.

I almost pooped myself when I saw you taking them down and doing something to them. I'm totally doing something similar like this with another set. But with paint.

Damn yours look great sir!

Sweet setup

SSTG · 03-13-2012, 11:25 AM

Those look awesome!

Allen English · 03-14-2012, 10:03 PM

Thanks again everyone.

As for duarbility it was primed before the Hydro Coating was applied and then clear coat was sprayed over it for protection. I know of a spray on chip guard that I once had done to the front end of my GT40, that stuff would be a nice addition to the wheels.

Tx1Lt · 03-14-2012, 10:05 PM

That, is f'n sick! Good job!

Allen English · 03-18-2012, 12:04 AM

Thank you all!

P.S. I know some people don't pay very much attention to the small details, but sometimes thats exactly what the owner wants. It's hard to find the right balance and not get all carried away and then overdo the project. I am just trying to avoid the to much bling look. Sometimes less is more in my opinion.....

KEEP RT · 03-18-2012, 05:56 PM

I agree. It's the little things that make it yours and unique. Too much big bling is just that. Nice touch. I like It.
