Default Great evening for pics...NBM SS w/ black y2k

These are the result of being very bored and going to the place i've been wanting to take pics. I recently got the wheels (Black Y2k's). Let me know what you think. (I know i need springs)

Nice car, but maybe spray a couple coats of clear over those wheels, the almost look dirty, they need a little shine!

pawlished lip on them rims is all I got. I'm not a fan of all black wheels. You can't distinguish the rim from teh tire. Just my opinion.

looks good, but i agree with those guys..you need to do something to those rims to make them stand out..How about more then a couple of coats of clear, then It might stand out enough. IMO

not a fan of the all black wheels, nor the de-grille mod without filling the holes/replacing the grille with a nicer one.

I'd say get those wheel lips polished. Otherwise it looks like one of the ricers that simply took off their hubcabs for the black steel underneath because they didn't feel like spending money on wheels.

Other than that, I like the car.

thanks guys...i think polished lips are only for wheels with actual lips. There's hardly anything to polish. I'm all for being different, hence the black y2k's. I'll probably throw some clear coat to shine them up. Anyone have a SLP grill for sale?

Your car looks right at home in that off road scenery.
