And i know guys, gotta get rid of the license plate. Used to have the hide-away plate but that got ripped off when i hit a dip @ my aunts house 1 night. So ive just had it this way for the time being. Oh and ill be getting rid of those halo's as well lol

EDIT: Here's a closer pic of the wheel.

turned out Really Nice on the wheels. I picked up a can a Lowes the other day, but have not had time to play with it

Edit: Wish I had found this stuff a month ago, before i cut my exhaust tips off and went back with dumps. would've loved to seen the corsa clones blacked out!!!

That looks great on those 10-spokes! Also the OP's wheels.

Hmm, I'm tempted now, I might do my Speedlines. I always wondered how my car would look with black wheels.

Explorer looks fantastic now!

Remember if you're going to spray that on your CME tips...it probably won't last up to the heat for more than a minute lol, it might actually be brittle or something and really hard to get off.

I would just decide if you like it or not then rip it off without running it.

Anyone ever tried this stuff in clear on rocker panels and areas behind tires to protect from rock chips?
