Thats because some cars look better with black wheels than chrome. I do agree that black wheels are a bit overdone and some cars shouldn't run them as chrome would look way better

Red is definitely a color that could go either way

I think black wheels look good if other things on the car compliment them. Black wheels just on a stock car doesnt look good. Have to have a few other touches to bring them "in" . I am not a fan of the no spoiler but it all depends on what you plan to do with the car. Anyways just my 2 cents, its yours so make it yours. This is why I like car shows to get ideas I like and pull them all together on my own car. Your other 2 looked badass so im sure this one will as well.

I knew what you were doing as soon as I saw the tape. I like the meguiars detailing tape better though.

I wish I had free time to detail my car. It needs it

New LMC housings and hids. Got rid of the crappy Xentec ballast and got a higher quality set. 6000k looked extremely blue with Xentec and didn't help light output at all. $20 more and 100% better light output and color. Will they and get some outside pics when it stops raining

Looks wicked man. So far that Pewter TA is my favorite! Glad to see you dove head first into this car too, everything looks sweet.

Good call on ditching the Xentec kit, those things suck compared to something like a TRS kit.

Both 35w 6000k color. Cheap ballast vs New ballast.

Cheap Xentec = very blue/no help


Vvme = quality/awesome light
