I like the black grilles and fog surrounds a lot. Those came out nice. The black OEM wheels though.... not so much. They look like spare tires now, and appear physically smaller since the sidewalls blend into the wheel. Maybe a silver lip pinstripe would help here. I can help you get some nice wheels, which are the most important visual aspect of any vehicle.

Thanks on the grills and fog.

I did the wheels in this color since I always liked these (actually I think you deal in them but I just dont have the spare coin for them 360 forged concave in a matte black) I just looked on the gallery and saw the orange z06 with the 360's and it has a orange pinstripe alont the rim, I see what you mean how that make the rim "pop". Isn't there a "tape" I can put on there I think I saw it somewhere.......I left the chrome on the lugs and center cap hoping to still make it "pop" I get the D3 lowering springs early next week. Hadn't thought of a pin stripe..... that might be something.

The vinyl tape probably won't work on that matte black surface. Is the paint textured a bit, or still smooth? Looks textured in the pics. Vinyl tape usually needs a very smooth surface to stick well.

Only way a gt-r will beat me and then not even for sure is off the line.

gt-r's are a nice car, but they are not all that everyone says. From a dig they have a huge advantage since they are AWD. but if you look at the 1/4 mile times they are hardly faster then a v. Then it comes down to a driver, and If you have raced, you know a driver can win in equal or slower cars

Yes it is textured, so perhaps your correct.

you could do either a silver or red pin stripe on the wheels. i think eastwood sells a kit that will allow you to do it, but how often would you use the kit after?

yeah it's 160 bucks, but not sure it would work... It uses a wheel to apply the paint and I would venture to say it needs to be a smooth surface as well.
