Looks pretty good, you're going to have to keep up on the tire shine in order to set it off right

Well that should look pretty nice. Around here, for some reason ppl are doing this but using vinyl instead of actually painting the pinstripe on. I guess its a nice cheap alternative but personally i dont think they will last long.

Blacking out the reverse lights added a nice touch. I might have to do that. Not feelin the all black rims though.

Not a fan of the black and white color combo there. I think it looked better with the blue stripes and chrome rims.

No one does it, it's a nice touch
