The red car would look a hell of a lot better with a polished lip. Can't stand all black wheels

Mark I think powdercoated wheels would look great (just leave the lip )

I wish you would have done just the front of the whistler mod though.... but the clear lenses look a ton better!

Nice pics!

Only thing is I can't leave a lip on these rims since they are magnesium (not polished) it would look weird...

Fixed

I think polished lip would look good as well... Seriously considering finding some chrome 18 Z06 rims and having the spokes powder coated a semi-flat black and then leave the lips polished to match the rest of the car

^^I would do that instead of buying the black Z06 rims so that I wouldn't have that rolled lip (personal pet peeve)...

Nice Cars, I hate to be on the opposite end, but I'm not really feeling those plastic things on the bumper AKA: Splitters or Chin Spoilers..

They dont seem to flow well in my eyes, but hey obviously you like them so Good Work!

Personally I would say hell no on getting the wheels powdercoated...why would you do that? The car looks great as is. Now if you could go with a set of wheels similar to mine you would need more chrome(like your previous stripes) to support the look.
Honestly I say leave as is.

1st I love all the pics. 2nd I wouldn't do black wheels on the car. Too dark on the outside of the car. The silver breaks it up a lil.
