Question Should I paint or leave it?

I have blacked out the front of my car here are the current pics


I did have this decal on the rear

BUT I now have this one


SO the question is.....should I repaint the grill surround and emblym border red along with the lower grill surround and around the fog lights of leave it black..I will be painting the center cap on the wheels for sure, and the surround on the side vents as well, but wasn't sure about the front...Gimme opinions.

And dont say lose the Punisher vinyl....not happening.

Looks good, but take off the skull. What did you use to tint the turn signals? Just lens spray tint?

I agree 110%... It looked better the way you had. The car looks bad ***! But I have a question: how in the hell do you see at night?!

Do you ever come up to greenwood on the weekends?

I think the red outline will look better when I get more red on the car, I am adding sponsor decals with red outlines, and painting the items i mentioned earlier, like I said I just dont know about front.

O cause I was gonna say it's kinda stupid to put fake sponsor decals on a non-sponsored car lol. But thats cool. Not too many LS4's are sponsored on here.

Maybe someone can help me out, but is Rossko sponsored??

Only if it was flat.



Hard to believe it's almost been a year...


Also, leave it black.

EDIT: Black decal, paint the calipers black, and lose the Pontiac badge.

OK so I am getting the idea that the flat black should go back on....and in case you are worried, dont be, because i dont care....this will be one of the most rice muscle cars you have seen, I am adding a body kit, decals, neons, and maybe even a picture of a dragon on the back window...ok no dragon but anyway...I will get the flat black decal back on and have the sponsor decals made in flat black to match...and I like the idea of painting the calipers...good call.
