Doesnt look bad. Its not really my taste though.

What kind of wheels are those? I think it might look better with a set of black powdercoated stockers on it...

i agree with on the wheels. They are Boss 20". I want to go back with the 18" in the future.

I was thinking of doing a 2 tone on mine. I like the murdered look but i think the V would look sweet in all white too...

I'm pretty sure Benb870 on cadillacforums used to own a cts-v painted just like that.

Looks pretty cool! Could you take a couple of full side profile pix so we can see how it looks on the whole car?

The wheels make all the difference IMO. The second one I love!

I like it!

Personally prefer a solid color, but that's just a personal preference of mine really. Your V is a one of a kind now, and it does not look like you pimped it to do it. It looks pro.

Don't black out the grill and the rims! Then you would be back to a murdered look. The chrome looks nice against your colors, gives it another dimension. Might be OK with a blackened grill and trim, but not the wheels, chrome all the way. Agree with you on the 18s over the 20s.

Nice Car!

I like the rims in the photo of the other 2 tone V in this thread.... but it is the polished lips that make them. Even a charcoal color would be cool.

If he went all black, I think he would lose the look he is after.

Just my 0.02 cents. ;-)
