Do what I was going to do before I ordered some new wheels - strip the clear coat off of those wheels. It will look great until you have enough money to replace them! Looks good!

Go to discount and get some airplane paint stripper to take off the clear coat, then get some polish like Mothers Mag Aluminum and a monthers powerball and a drill and go at them! I loved the brushed aluminum look, then did that to a spare rim I had and I love it! Cant wait to do it to all my rims.

I already looks like you are copying silver02TA's car... please dont do TT2's, corsa tips, or the LOTB

Unless you dont care about being a copycat... at least you know all that looks good together lol

Silver02TA's car is one of the sexiest silver cars there is. His car is what happens when you do the best combination of the most original things. My rear end is going to look a lot like his (except CETA filler and my 3rd brake light has the pheonix instead of all blacked out) But I dont think its being a copycat, just good taste.
