New look!

New look! Painted stock rims with Engine enamal. Sanded, primed, etc. Came out looking fantastic! AVS window shades, and a Mesh style Bentley grille in front, paired up with depos, and tinted markers. This is what a 17 year old does with his paycheck :)

Thanks! Took some time. Eventually going to get the front windows tinted to match the rear.

Wow really looking good. Love the grill!

Just a word of advice on the window shades. I had my stick on one's on mine for four months. Went to take them off and I was left with a headache of sticky residue. I still can't get all of it off. I'm gonna get the in channel ones.

Thought about the in channel ones for a while. Decided to get the stick on ones though because I had hail damage repaired at the beginning of summer. $5000 later, they went through the rubber moulding and it was bubbling up a tad on top. Not a big deal, just gives me a piece of mind that water cant drip into it.

Cool..

You painted them 'Flat black' ? Seems a gloss would be easier to clean..

PS: pic size is like 640 x 480 as per the rules, Just sayin,...

3M eraser wheel will have it off it minutes and won't damage the paint.
