And the car looks much better in the pics you just posted! Just get the wheels and grilles done to match the black on the car. It will look sexy!
Hehe. I leave the sunroof alone. If I see a cop I open it to let light in. It hides the tint.

I will add another to the gloss black! The paint if it has some TLC can look very glossy. Especially being black. Put gloss black wheels and it would look sexy. The glossy black with be nice and shiny like chrome but have the black effect of sinister/sexy!

Not for the grilles. Too much gloss won't look as good.

Here is mine with semi-gloss...

Mine have been powdercoated for almost 2 years and a just about a mat finish now on the insides of the spokes.

RADEoN - Do your calipers too. It makes a world of difference.
