Looks awsome up close in person. Nice job Jason.

I may cut some narrow strips of plain black electrical tape to put on temporally and stand back and look at it for awhile and decide if I want to make it permanant. (whenever it quits snowing...)

J's wheels look great. Something so simple and small add a lot to the car.

So i got a couple things to try.. Thanks everyone. Don't get me wrong I LOVE chrome but I though it broke up the chrome on the wheels a little bit and with the 2009 wheels they have the groove there already, so it was easy to follow. I just took the wheels off and I had used caliper paint to paint the face and I also painted the bit of the groove in the hole for the lug nuts

Looks really sharp..

You ever think of polishing the gold-tone off the wheel center cap bow-ties ?

It's very easy...I've done mine & my steering wheel center.
