Default PICS of Black V with gunmetal rims?

Anyone have any? I'm starting to ponder come cosmetic mods to my stock looking V.

I did a little photo shop on a cell phone pic of my car. Going for something like this. You guys think race red calipers would stand out too much, or look about right?

I need to take a profile pic of my car and do a nice photoshop job of it all.

Where did you get the black background center caps? I'm thinking gunmetal rims, black gloss on the grill, and making the chrome trim match the gunmetal.

If you don't mind, I'm gonna photo shop those images you provided to see if I can replicate my intended look.

Thank you! That is what I'm going for, only with a blacked out grill, and perhaps some tint on the chrome to darken it a bit. Otherwise, spot on!

It's not really a specific color. It's just a really really dark hyper silver. They just change the shade of hyper silver by varying the percentage of black content. Here's a close-up. It's pretty similar to Brentman's wheels; I actually asked him about his before I had mine done.

Any suggestions of where I can get black center caps for my wheels, as well as replacement V stickers for after I do the calipers?

Does anyone sell aftermarket Caddy emblems for the grill that would work better with a black wiremesh?

You should be able to find the centercaps on ebay, but they aren't cheap.

Mine are black because my car is an 07... It came with them and it's the only way you can tell besides the little square GM emblem (that I know of without popping the hood).
