BETTER PICS AT THE BEGINNING OF PAGE 2!

First off, sorry these pics aren't that great. I just got the car back from the striping shop yesterday and wanted to get a couple pictures up here. I usually do better work, but it's currently overcast, below freezing, and windy, so the conditions weren't favorable. Because the stripes are vinyl, I have to let them sit before I give the car a serious wash, so the car isn't spotless, though it doesn't look too bad. I plan to get much better pictures another time, but I hope these will suffice.

looks so sexy

To be honest, I personally don't like the stripes. Although I think the color combo looks great, gray with black wheels. It'll look even better if you black out the taillights and the sidemarkers.
Could you post better pics of the wheels? Thanks.

Thanks man, I'll try to get a couple pictures tomorrow. I got my wheels powder coated for $50/wheel, so it was definitely worth it. Way, way cheaper than new wheels (+usually new tires as well).

Blade · 01-08-2010, 05:32 AM

I was thinking of doin the same thing to my Midnight Finish rims! This great stuff mike and only $50 bucks! What kind of shop did you take the wheels to? And do you think the finish will last?, that was my only concern.

Not a fan of the stripes, the need to flow with the lines of the hood instead of cut accross them. Great colors tho.
