I bought the car with the wheels and silver door letters. I have since painted the brakes, grills, added chrome lugnuts, and added other black/orange/silver parts throughout the car..

Thanks for the compliments guys.. I think it turned out pretty good It was one of those things that I havent seen a whole lot of people do, so I figured it was worth tryin, and I love the results...
(btw if you notice I only painted the front 3 edges, not the edge that leads in from the door. Subtle, yet it helps the 'flow' I think.)

Hope I'm not being to big of a pain here, didn't wanna start another thread for a quick question, but since you guys seem to have some knowledge of T/A Vents, anyone here know which ones these are? They were on the body already when I got it as a roller.
Best pic I have on my computer at the moment, so sorry for the quality. They sink in, then have a small opening furthest towards the front end. Not sure how I feel about them looks wise, but they're ok for being different I guess than the usual honeycomb, and they're not chrome/polished so it hasn't made me pull them off yet.

Sorry for the late response, Im not on here much anymore.. Anyways in those pics it has koni single adjustables with strano springs with 17" wheels all around..
I've since put a 18x10.5 with a 295 tire on the back with a 13mm spacer. I plan on eventually putting the 13mm up front and putting a 15mm spacer in the rear though.
Here's what it looks like now..

I don't remember the brand to be honest, but it was just an aluminum colored paint (probably duplicolor or somthing similar) that I covered with 2 or 3 coats of clearcoat. As with any painting project, prep work was the biggest part.. Thoroughly clean the grills, wipe with alcohol and carefully tape off all the edges. The hardest part was getting a nice edge between the silver and the honeycomb holes, but even then it wasn't too difficult.
