red powdercoated speedlines??

Ive been wondering what this would look like. Red powdercoating on my speedlines maybe with a silver lip left. I tried to kinda color em red in this pic, but its not perfect- but you get the idea. It wouldnt be this color red either.

I dont think id ever do it- was just throwing the idea out there! I seen a set of speedlines in the 4sale section that were powdercoated black with the lip left silver and liked how they looked- so i wondered what red would look like.. I couldnt get the red the right color in the pic, im no good at that stuff but -O well- I got to many other things on my trans am to-do list anyways

I think the red would look terrible. Do black if anything.

A friend of mine had a white T/A that basically had a rred "30th Anniv" package. We talked about red andonizing the wheel just like GM had done blue for the stnadard "30th package". Never happened though.

The spoiler and the front fascia was designed by Morgan Motorsports. They're no longer in business BTW.

Yep, that was the "mms 421 hd" or something like that. That's where I stole my 'vette mirror idea too.

Someone sells a replica of the spoiler still - I have it on my favorites at work, so I'll check monday...
